        } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
            // only ignore exception in non-android env
            if ("Dalvik".equals(System.getProperty("java.vm.name"))) throw e;

public class MyTestRunner  extends RobolectricTestRunner {
   public MyTestRunner(Class testClass) throws InitializationError {
         // remove native calls + replace with shadows
        addClassOrPackageToInstrument("com.example.jni.MyJniClass");
   }

   protected void bindShadowClasses() {
         // bind shadow JNI classes
   }
}
