Robolectric: “AndroidManifest.xml not found” and "Unable to find resource ID #0x7f09001b"

I'm running some tests with Roboletric, but I came across a issue that I can't solve.
When I run the test, the following error appears with the "AndroidManifest":
WARNING: No manifest file found at .\AndroidManifest.xml.
Falling back to the Android OS resources only. To remove this warning, annotate
your test class with #Config(manifest=Config.NONE).
No such manifest file: .\AndroidManifest.xml
I've tried these solutions that failed:
#Config (manifest = Config.DEFAULT_MANIFEST_NAME)
#Config(manifest = Config.NONE, constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 26)
#Config( constants = BuildConfig.class, manifest="src/main/AndroidManifest.xml", sdk = 26 )
And the other error during execution is:
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Unable to find
resource ID #0x7f09001b in packages [android, org.robolectric.default]
...
at
com.example.robertoassad.alltestsmerge.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:52)
This line that have the error is the following code:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Specifically in: setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
For me I didn't see sense in this issue ...
DETAILS:
The test class is on the folder: app\src\test\java\com\example\robertoassad
The test is:
#RunWith( RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class Roboletric {
#Test
public void clickingLogin_shouldStartLoginActivity() {
MainActivity activity = Robolectric.setupActivity(MainActivity.class);
activity.findViewById(R.id.button2).performClick();
Intent expectedIntent = new Intent(activity, SecondActivity.class);
Intent actual = ShadowApplication.getInstance().getNextStartedActivity();
assertEquals(expectedIntent.getComponent(), actual.getComponent());
}
}

I had a similar problem to the one you face. The post by jongerrish on the Robolectric GitHub Issue about this resolved the problem for me.
The aspect of the answer that worked for me was to add a testOptions block in my module's build.gradle file:
testOptions {
unitTests {
includeAndroidResources = true
}
}
After adding this block my tests were able to run and access String resources.

This problem bug me for some time, and here is my note in my test code.
About manifest location
With Gradle build system, Robolectric looks for AndroidManifest.xml in the following order.
Java resource folder
build/intermediates/manifests/[full or fast-start]/[build-type]
So it is a common mistake to specify the location of AndroidManifest.xml according to source code folder organization (e.g. src/main/AndroidManifest.xml) . The specified AndroidManifest.xml location affect how Robolectric look for merged resources as well. So if some resource is not found in test, it is probably due to incorrect setting of AndroidManifest.xml location.
That said, the Android Gradle plugin merge the AndroidManifest.xml and put the result under the above mentioned intermediates directory. So the content of src/main/AndroidManifest.xml affect the test result.
So if you want to specify manifest option in #Config, just use #Config(manifest=“AndroidManifest.xml”) should probably be fine. If you want to use an alternate AndroidManifest.xml, put it in Java resources folder, and specify #Config according to the relative path in resources folder.

I was also facing same problem while testing my library module from app. Now my Receievers and Service are in my library, so to test those , i had to implement custom Test Class, so Roboelectric can point to my library manifest and not the app manifest :
import android.os.Build;
import org.junit.runners.model.InitializationError;
import org.robolectric.manifest.AndroidManifest;
import org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner;
import org.robolectric.annotation.Config;
import org.robolectric.res.Fs;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class RobolectricGradleTestRunner extends RobolectricTestRunner {
private static final String PROJECT_DIR =
"C:/MyProject/";
private static final int MAX_SDK_SUPPORTED_BY_ROBOLECTRIC =
Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2;
public RobolectricGradleTestRunner(final Class<?> testClass) throws Exception {
super(testClass);
}
private static AndroidManifest getAndroidManifest() {
String manifestPath = PROJECT_DIR+"/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml";
String resPath = PROJECT_DIR+"/src/main/res";
String assetPath = PROJECT_DIR+"/src/main/assets";
System.out.print("manifest path: "+manifestPath);
System.out.print("resPath path: "+resPath);
System.out.print("assetPath path: "+assetPath);
return new AndroidManifest(
Fs.fileFromPath(manifestPath), Fs.fileFromPath(resPath), Fs.fileFromPath(assetPath)) {
#Override public int getTargetSdkVersion() {
return MAX_SDK_SUPPORTED_BY_ROBOLECTRIC;
}
};
}
private static String getProjectDirectory() {
String path = "";
try {
File file = new File("..");
path = file.getCanonicalPath();
path = path + "/app/";
} catch (IOException ex) {}
return path;
}
#Override public AndroidManifest getAppManifest(Config config) {
return getAndroidManifest();
}
}
and use it in your test class like :
#RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)
public class MyClassChangeTest {
}

Android Studio Debugger : Stop when an variable gets a specific value

Scenario :
I have a variable and I want to find out where and when the variable gets for example the value 4. When this happens the debugger should stop at that line.
Is this possible with Android Studio ?

If I understand correctly what you're wanting to do is set what is called a "Watchpoint" in Android Studio, and here's a link to the IntelliJ documentation that discusses them:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.3/creating-field-watchpoints.html
In particular, what you want to do is set a break-point on the member variable itself, right-click that break-point and set the watch on "field modification" and set a condition for when that variable becomes the specific value you're trying to find.
So, in this simple bit of code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
int mWatchMe = -10;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
for (int i=0 ; i<20 ; i++)
{
mWatchMe++;
}
}
}
You would set a break-point on the line: int mWatchMe = -10;.
Set the "Condition" and "modification" fields:
The execution should break where ever "mWatchMe" is set to '0':

This is possible. Right click on your breakpoint and then enter your expression "value == 4" in the condition field.

logcat doesn't display logs from library project in my special case

I have three Android projects: BaseLibProject, MainLibProject, AppProject.
The relationship of these three Android projects is that:
The BaseLibProject is a library project used by MainLibProject.
The MainLibProject uses BaseLibProject as library project, and generates MainLib.jar(use maven build)
The generated MainLib.jar is added to AppProject's libs/ folder & also added to the build path of AppProject.
NEXT:
A simple class in BaseLibProject :
public class BaseLibClass {
public static String doBaseTask() {
Log.i("MyLog", "doBaseTask..."); //I can't see this log
return "Result from Base!";
}
}
A simple class in MainLibProject which defined a function invokes the function in BaseLibProject:
public class MainLibClass {
public static void doMainTask() {
Log.i("MyLog", "doMainTask..."); //I can see this log in logcat
String result = BaseLibClass.doBaseTask();
Log.i("MyLog", "result = " + result); //I can see the result log
}
}
Finally, in my AppProject I simply call above function of MainLibProject (remember I have MainLib.jar):
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
MainLibClass.doMainTask();
}
}
I started logcat with command adb logcat -s MyLog:* . When I run my AppProject application, logcat displays
I/MyLog(2039): doMainTask...
I/MyLog(2039): result = Result from Base!
According to above log, the code in BaseLibProject is running (because I got result from BaseLibClass), but it doesn't display any logs from BaseLibProject, why???
(I have googled on internect, someone got similar issue fixed by restarting eclipse, but in my case, it doesn't help. Besides, I am checking logs from terminal NOT from eclipse.)

Ok, finally, I fixed the problem.
The reason is that in BaseLibProject pom.xml, I defined <packaging>apk</packaging>, while in MainLibProject pom.xml, when I define the dependency of BaseLibProject, I didn't specify the <type> of the artifact.
After I changed BaseLibProject's pom.xml to <packagin>apklib</packaging> and in MainLibProject's pom.xml specified the dependency of BaseLibProject with <type>apklib</type> . I am able to see the logs in BaseLibProject.

Monodroid - Loading a custom activity

I'm currently trying to develop an application under Android using Mono.
I'd like to add support for plugins to my application so additional features could be brought to it.
I was able to load simple .dll at runtime in my program, however whenever I try creating a dll implementing both my interface and a custom activity, an exception of type Java.Lang.NoClassDefFoundError is thrown.
There is the class inside the dll code:
[Activity (Label = "Vestiaire")]
public class Vestiaire : Activity, IModule
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Version { get; set; }
void OnClickVestiaireButton(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
;
}
public void InitVestiaireModule()
{
Run();
}
public Type LaunchActivity ()
{
return typeof(Vestiaire);
}
public void Init()
{
Name = "Vestiaire Module";
Version = "0.1";
}
public void Run()
{
}
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
}
}
The line responsible for the exception: (from the program core)
LoadedPlugin.Add((IModule)(Activator.CreateInstance(Plugin)));
Things I'm actually wonderring are:
- Is it possible to actually achieve what i'm trying to ?
If yes, help would be apreciated on that problem :P
Otherwise what would be the best alternative ?
Global point is to be able to load a custom menu at runtime loaded from a dll.
Thanks.

i think the key to your problem is that the Activity needs to be registered in you Manifest.xml file.
For Activities in you main app, MonoDroid does this for you - but I don't think this will work for your plugin.
Things you could try are:
putting the Activity in the Manifest yourself (MonoDroid does seem very capable at merging these files)
if that doesn't work, then you could try using a Fragment instead - and loading the Fragment into a custom FragmentActivity in your main app.

Android Eclipse jUnit does not see superclass

This may be a simple answer.
1) Create a jar file with this code:
package com.myCompany.base;
public class Dex1 {
public String getTerm1() {
return "Term 1";
}
}
This is compiled to Dex1.jar using NetBeans.
2) Created a 'Hello world' android application in Eclipse. Add the code for Dex2 that extends Dex1. Copy and add Dex1.jar to the java build path.
package com.myCompany;
import com.myCompany.base.Dex1;
public class Dex2 extends Dex1 {
public String getTerm2() {
return getTerm1() + " Term 2";
}
}
in my onCreate() call:
editText.setText(dex2.getTerm2());
Everything works Great! I get the correct string displayed on the android screen. Yea!
Now the problem starts:
3) Create a jUnit 3 test case using Eclipse command File -> New -> Project -> Android Text Project command and add the code:
package com.myCompany.test;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import com.myCompany.Dex2;
public class Dex2Test extends TestCase {
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
dex2 = new Dex2();
}
protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
super.tearDown();
}
Dex2 dex2;
public void testGetTerm2() {
/*line 21 */ assertEquals("Term 1 Term 2", dex2.getTerm2());
}
public void testGetTerm1() {
/* line 25 */ assertEquals("Term 1", dex2.getTerm1());
}
}
On Line 25 the compiler gives a 'method undefined' error for getTerm1(). I don't understand why this is an error?
I tried to add the Dex1.jar to the java Build path of the test project, it compiles but we receive a run time error 'NoClassDefFoundError'. Yuch!
More Information 16Mar2012
I set this up using Plan Java classes, same jar file, to remove Android and it worked. This makes me conclude there must be some anomaly in Android/DalvikVM (aka DavrosVM).
More Information 16Mar2012 End
Am I missing something?
Is the jar file built incorrectly (didn't think that was possible)?
Am I importing the jar file incorrectly?
Is it just crazy to expect to import and override a class in a jar file?
Thank you for reading, please reply.

Take a look at Android Testing: External libraries which I guess have the solution to your problem.
What you may be doing wrong is not exporting your library in Order and Export under Java Build Path.
