Android gradle src/androidTest/res/layout/mylayout.xml not found in mypackage.R

Question

I\'m writing my unit tests using gradle in Android Studio. I have the tests located in:

src/androidTest/java

That works just fine. N

Answer 1

For me, the solution was to put the source files in src/androidTest/java and the resource files in src/androidTest/res. Those are the standard locations, so you don't need to edit anything in gradle.build.

Plus, rename your R import from

import com.mycompany.myappname.R;

to

import com.mycompany.myappname.test.R;
