    <p>I'm new to Android Testing stuff. I'd like to test if clicking a button will open up a corresponding activity or not. I did some research and found out that I will need to use ActivityManager to do the checking.</p> <p>Problem is, I can't get the "clicking" part working. I'm trying to use <code>Button.performClick()</code>.</p> <p>Initially I just called this function, and got an error saying that I can't do this in the current thread. After some googling I found out that I need to call it in the UI thread, and came across <code>runOnUiThread(Runnable r) method</code>.</p> <p>The button I'm trying to click is <code>_helloButton_</code>. This is obtained in the <code>_setUp()_ method</code>. I did <code>_assertNotNull_</code> check on this to make sure it's there.</p> <p>Within a test method, I call</p> <pre><code>mActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { helloButton.requestFocus(); } }); helloButton.performClick(); </code></pre> <p>and I get a NPE at the line calling <code>requestFocus()</code>.</p> <p>Next I tried </p> <pre><code>mActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { helloButton.performClick(); } }); </code></pre> <p>and still get the same null pointer exception.</p> <p>On the JUnit perspective, I get this message</p> <pre><code>Test failed to run to completion. Reason: 'Instrumentation run failed due to 'java.lang.NullPointerException''. Check device logcat for details </code></pre> <p>And the stackTrace look like this.</p> <pre><code> 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): java.lang.NullPointerException 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at com.example.helloworldmk2.test.HelloWorldMK2Test$1.run(HelloWorldMK2Test.java:57) 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:587) 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:92) 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4363) 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:860) 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:618) 08-05 19:03:11.922: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(578): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) </code></pre> <p>Line 57 is where I'm calling the <code>helloButton.performClick()</code>.</p> <p>I'm not sure why I'm getting NPE; assertNotNull passes without problem. If you can help me with this issue, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.</p> <p>EDIT: I'm subclassing ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 for this particular test class.</p> <p>EDIT2: Logcat spews out some errors before NPE happens.</p> <p>I see </p> <p>08-05 20:08:54.702: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(754): ERROR: thread attach failed</p> <p>and </p> <p>08-05 20:08:58.642: ERROR/gralloc(52): [unregister] handle 0x3e1b28 still locked (state=40000001)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
