Example for replacement for InstrumentationRegistry.getContext() - android

With AndroidX the InstrumentationRegistry is now deprecated. The documentation states
This method is deprecated. In most scenarios, getApplicationContext() should be used instead of the instrumentation test context. If you do need access to the test context for to access its resources, it is recommended to use getResourcesForApplication(String) instead.
However, I cannot find any examples of how to obtain the instance of PackageManager in test to invoke getResourcesForApplication and which package name should be provided to its string parameter.
For instance, here is the code that currently works:
import android.content.res.AssetManager;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import androidx.test.InstrumentationRegistry;
import androidx.test.core.app.ApplicationProvider;
import androidx.test.ext.junit.runners.AndroidJUnit4;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
#RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class MyTest {
#Test
public void processImage() {
// load image from test assets
AssetManager am = InstrumentationRegistry.getContext().getAssets();
InputStream is = null;
Bitmap image = null;
try {
is = am.open("image.jpg");
image = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if ( is != null ) {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException ignored) { }
}
}
assertNotNull(image);
// do something with the image
}
}
Now, how to rewrite this test without using the deprecated InstrumentationRegistry.getContext()? Keep in mind that image.jpg is not part of the application's assets - it's located in src/androidTest/assets folder and gets packaged into AppName-buildType-androidTest.apk (it's not present in the AppName-buildType.apk, for which I know the package name).
How to deduce the package name of the test APK? Is it possible to avoid hardcoding package name strings in my unit test? I am looking for a solution that is as elegant as the original code, but does not use deprecated methods.

I think you should simply use InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().getContext().getAssets() instead of InstrumentationRegistry.getContext().getAssets().
It will use your test context, so you should get your assets.

Powermock keeps returning me a null object not a mock

So I am looking at the mocking objects in a test.
However the following test will return npe when " Mockito.when(mock.getName()" portion of code is executed, thats because the mock object is returned as null.
package com.example.activity;
import com.example.BuildConfig;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PowerMockIgnore;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.rule.PowerMockRule;
import org.robolectric.Robolectric;
import org.robolectric.RobolectricGradleTestRunner;
import org.robolectric.annotation.Config;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;
#RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)
#Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 21)
#PowerMockIgnore({ "org.mockito.*", "org.robolectric.*", "android.*" })
#PrepareForTest(Static.class)
public class DeckardActivityTest {
#Rule
public PowerMockRule rule = new PowerMockRule();
#Mock
public ToBeMocked mock;
#Test
public void testSomething() throws Exception {
assertTrue(Robolectric.buildActivity(DeckardActivity.class).create().get() != null);
}
#Test
public void testStaticMocking() {
PowerMockito.mockStatic(Static.class);
Mockito.when(Static.staticMethod()).thenReturn(mock);
Mockito.when(mock.getName()).thenReturn("Mock");
assertTrue(Static.getResp().equals("Mock"));
}
}
and the simple class we are testing
package com.example.activity;
public class Static {
private static ToBeMocked toBeMocked;
public static ToBeMocked staticMethod() {
toBeMocked = new ToBeMocked();
return toBeMocked;
}
public static String getResp(){
return toBeMocked.getName();
}
}
So my understanding must be wrong.
What I would like to do is mock out the ToBeMocked class dependency give it and tell the mock object how to respond when getName method is called on it.
Can some one help me as to why this is going wrong or point out what I must have misunderstood
Yes, you understand it wrong. I mean you have misunderstanding how mocks work.
Your method getResp (in example) uses internal states which will not be set at all, because after you call PowerMockito.mockStatic(Static.class); all calls of static methods of the Static.class will be intercepted. So the code:
toBeMocked = new ToBeMocked();
return toBeMocked;
never is called.
If the getResp uses the staticMethod() then you code will work.
public static String getResp(){
return staticMethod().getName();
}
So you have two option to resolve your issue:
refactor your code as I pointed
use mock constructor to mock toBeMocked = new ToBeMocked();

Error in connecting App Engine backend to Async Task

I am trying to write a backend service in Android, which reads a remote database and executes a query on it, returning the result in a ResultSet object. This is the code for my Java Bean which I return from the API call (called SQLResult):
package com.gradai.rushhour.backend;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
public class SQLResult
{
ResultSet result;
public SQLResult()
{
}
public ResultSet getResult()
{
return result;
}
public void setResult(ResultSet rs)
{
result = rs;
}
}
Now I try to use this API (called sqlBackend) in an AsyncTask in the actual app. In the onPostExecute function, I am getting an error:
error: incompatible types: com.gradai.rushhour.backend.sqlBackend.model.ResultSet cannot be converted to java.sql.ResultSet
This is the code for the said function:
protected void onPostExecute(SQLResult result)
{
ResultSet rs = result.getResult();
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, rs.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
I don't get why is a ResultSet class being created in the backend model. Please help me in understanding what is going on. I'll be glad to provide further code if needed for debugging.
EDIT: These are the import statements used in the AsyncTask program:
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.api.client.extensions.android.http.AndroidHttp;
import com.google.api.client.json.gson.GsonFactory;
import com.gradai.rushhour.backend.sqlBackend.SqlBackend;
import com.gradai.rushhour.backend.sqlBackend.model.SQLResult;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
Also, please note that: I tried to convert the ResultSet in the API function to an ArrayList, and changed the SQLResult class to contain the same. Now, when I try to access the ArrayList in the same function, I get the error that a List is expected instead of an ArrayList. Could that be helpful?

Android reflection doesn't work - it don't find any class

I have an Android application.
I want to scan for all classes within a package for a specify annotation.
I have:
package com.sample.package;
import com.sample.core.Controller;
import com.sample.core.ProtocolId;
#Controller
public class OtherController implements ControllerInterface{
#ProtocolId(id=100)
public void doSomething(){
//do something
}
}
I'm finding for classes annotated with #Controller for a specify #ProtocolId number.
I'm using Google Reflections library.
Here is how I'm scanning:
package com.sample.package;
import org.reflections.ReflectionUtils;
import org.reflections.Reflections;
import com.sample.core.Controller;
import com.sample.core.ProtocolId;
public class FrontController {
public void executeProperControllerMethodBasedOnId(){
Reflections ref = new Reflections("com.sample.package");
Set<Class<?>> classes = ref.getTypesAnnotatedWith(Controller.class);
System.out.println(classes.size()); //THE SIZE IS 0!!!
//The reflection doesn't worked! It didn't found any class!
}
}
The above code doesn't find any class annotated with specify annotation. Is
there something which I miss when I'm using google reflection library on
android?

Unable to retrieve Google Drive files and folders using new Drive API

I am trying to get a list of Files in a Folder from Google Drive from my Android app but have been unsuccessful so far. I'm using google-api-drive-v1-rev4-java-1.6.0-beta and google-api-client-1.9.0. I'm also building my code similar to calendar-android-sample and tasks-android-sample from the samples at http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/Android.
I cant seem to find how to use files() to get a list of folders or even the id of the folder I want. The tasks-android-sample uses '#default' in the get() method to get a list of tasks. What would I use in the get method to get a list of folders first, search for my folder, get the id, then get a list of files in that folder?
AsyncLoadDocs.java: (Note: I'm using getFields() just to see if the Get object contains any metadata, which at this point doesn't.)
package com.mysite.myapp.docs;

import com.google.api.services.drive.Drive.Files;
import com.google.api.services.drive.Drive.Files.Get;

import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
/**

class AsyncLoadDocs extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, List<String>> {
private static final String TAG = "AsyncLoadDocs";
private final GDocsSync gDocsSync;
private final ProgressDialog dialog;
private final Drive entry = null;
private com.google.api.services.drive.Drive service;
AsyncLoadDocs(GDocsSync gDocsSync) {
this.gDocsSync = gDocsSync;
service = gDocsSync.driveClient;
dialog = new ProgressDialog(gDocsSync);
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
dialog.setMessage("Loading docs...");
dialog.show();
}
#Override
protected List<String> doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
try {
List<String> folderNames = new ArrayList<String>();
Get get = service.files().get("#default").setProjection("FULL");
String fields = get.getFields();
Log.d(TAG, "Fields: " + fields);
return folderNames;
} catch (IOException e) {
gDocsSync.handleGoogleException(e);
return Collections.singletonList(e.getMessage());
} finally {
gDocsSync.onRequestCompleted();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(List<String> result) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
Any help would be appreciated. Both Calendar and Tasks samples successfully retrieve data from Google using my API key, why doesn't this Drive code?
The Drive API grants access only to two classes of files:
Files that a user has created with a given Drive app
Files that a user opens with a given Drive app
For security reasons, there's no method to list all files in a user Drive account:
https://developers.google.com/drive/apps_overview#granting_file-level_access

can't import android.os.SystemProperties in Camera app

In camera.java, I need to get property in system. However, I can't import android.os.SystemProperties, compile camera always complains:
packages/apps/Camera/src/com/android/camera/Camera.java:53: cannot find symbol
symbol : class SystemProperties
location: package android.os
import android.os.SystemProperties;
In the beginning of camera.java, I included:
import android.os.Message;
import android.os.MessageQueue;
import android.os.SystemClock;
import android.os.SystemProperties; /* (this is in line 53)*/
It seems SystemProperties is not in android.os package, but I have checked the frameworks source code, it's indeed in it.
This happen in camera app. I found many apps under packages/app dir using SystemProperties in this manner. It's really strange.
SystemProperties class is setted 'hide' annotation.
So you want to use this class in application layer,
you have to use refelection.
the definition of SystemProperties class is below.
package android.os;
/**
* Gives access to the system properties store. The system properties
* store contains a list of string key-value pairs.
*
* {#hide}
*/
public class SystemProperties
i have encounter the same problem as you have, and i use the code below, and solve the problem by using refelection. hope it would be help
//set SystemProperties as you want
public static void setProperty(String key, String value) {
try {
Class<?> c = Class.forName("android.os.SystemProperties");
Method set = c.getMethod("set", String.class, String.class);
set.invoke(c, key, value );
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d(LOGTAG, "setProperty====exception=");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
