Class Overview

An instrumentation that enables several advanced features and makes some hard guarantees about the state of the application under instrumentation.

A short list of these capabilities:

  • Forces Application.onCreate() to happen before Instrumentation.onStart() runs (ensuring your code always runs in a sane state).
  • Logs application death due to exceptions.
  • Allows tracking of activity lifecycle states.
  • Registers instrumentation arguments in an easy to access place.
  • Ensures your activities are creating themselves in reasonable amounts of time.
  • Provides facilities to dump current app threads to test outputs.
  • Ensures all activities finish before instrumentation exits.
This Instrumentation is *NOT* a test instrumentation (some of its subclasses are). It makes no assumptions about what the subclass wants to do.

public void finish (int resultCode, Bundle results)

Ensures all activities launched in this instrumentation are finished before the instrumentation exits.

Subclasses who override this method should do their finish processing and then call super.finish to invoke this logic. Not waiting for all activities to finish() before exiting can cause device wide instability.

Parameters
resultCode int
results Bundle

public void interceptActivityUsing (InterceptingActivityFactory interceptingActivityFactory)

Use the given InterceptingActivityFactory to create Activity instance in newActivity(ClassLoader, String, Intent). This can be used to override default behavior of activity in tests e.g. mocking startService() method in Activity under test, to avoid starting the real service and instead verifying that a particular service was started.

Parameters
interceptingActivityFactory InterceptingActivityFactory: InterceptingActivityFactory to be used for creating activity instance in newActivity(ClassLoader, String, Intent)

public Activity newActivity (Class<?> clazz, Context context, IBinder token, Application application, Intent intent, ActivityInfo info, CharSequence title, Activity parent, String id, Object lastNonConfigurationInstance)

Parameters
clazz Class
context Context
token IBinder
application Application
intent Intent
info ActivityInfo
title CharSequence
parent Activity
id String
lastNonConfigurationInstance Object
Returns
Activity
Throws
InstantiationException
IllegalAccessException

public Activity newActivity (ClassLoader cl, String className, Intent intent)

Parameters
cl ClassLoader
className String
intent Intent
Returns
Activity
Throws
InstantiationException
IllegalAccessException
ClassNotFoundException

public void onCreate (Bundle arguments)

Sets up lifecycle monitoring, and argument registry.

Subclasses must call up to onCreate(). This onCreate method does not call start() it is the subclasses responsibility to call start if it desires.

Parameters
arguments Bundle

public void onDestroy ()

public boolean onException (Object obj, Throwable e)

Parameters
obj Object
e Throwable
Returns
boolean

public void onStart ()

This implementation of onStart() will guarantee that the Application's onCreate method has completed when it returns.

Subclasses should call super.onStart() before executing any code that touches the application and it's state.

public Activity startActivitySync (Intent intent)

Parameters
intent Intent
Returns
Activity

public void useDefaultInterceptingActivityFactory ()

Use default mechanism of creating activity instance in newActivity(ClassLoader, String, Intent)

Protected Methods

protected void dumpThreadStateToOutputs (String outputFileName)

Parameters
outputFileName String

protected String getThreadState ()

Returns
String

protected void installMultidex ()

protected void installOldMultiDex (Class<?> multidexClass)

Perform application MultiDex installation only when instrumentation installation is not available. Called when MultiDex class is available but MultiDex.installInstrumentation is not.

Parameters
multidexClass Class
Throws
NoSuchMethodException
InvocationTargetException
IllegalAccessException

protected boolean isPrimaryInstrProcess (String argsProcessName)

Checks whether this instance of instrumentation should be considered as a primary instrumentation process.

Parameters
argsProcessName String: the process name passed in via test runner args
Returns
boolean true if the given process is the primary instrumentation process

protected final void setJsBridgeClassName (String className)

Parameters
className String

protected void specifyDexMakerCacheProperty ()

protected void waitForActivitiesToComplete ()

Ensures we've onStopped() all activities which were onStarted().

According to Activity's contract, the process is not killable between onStart and onStop. Breaking this contract (which finish() will if you let it) can cause bad behaviour (including a full restart of system_server).

We give the app 2 seconds to stop all its activities, then we proceed.

This should never be run on the main thread.
