Google Cloud Test Lab with Robotium

Last time I setup Cloud Test Lab to execute instrumentation tests on the cloud, and Espresso was used as a default testing framework, but we can, of course, choose other options!

This time, let's use Robotium!

Setup

If you setup the NotePad app by following my previous post or  the official guide of Cloud Test Lab, then Robotium should be configured already.

Otherwise, you need to configure it by yourself in advance.
Since official tutorial doesn't cover Android Studio, you can refer these helpful web pages:

• http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Robotium/article.html
• https://www.bloco.io/blog/2015/how-to-configure-robotium-with-android-studio

As well, if you'd like to use screenshot functions with your own app, you can find the instructions from the official guide.

Implementation

Default NotePadTest class (Espresso) is written like the following:


So, just we can make new test class with Robotium!
Robotium API reference is available from here.


Edit configuration & Run! 😄
