How can we access context of an application in Robolectric?

Question

Actually, I need to get a response of an API call, for that I required Context.

Answer 1

You can use

RuntimeEnvironment.application

Answer 2

Add

testImplementation "androidx.test:core-ktx:${deps.testrunner}"

And use:

private val app = ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext()

Answer 3

To get application context you must do the following:

1. annotate @RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
2. RuntimeEnvironment.application.getApplicationContext()

Answer 4

Agree with answers of @EugenMartynov and @rds ....

A quick example can be found at Volley-Marshmallow-Release

in NetworkImageViewTest.java

// mNIV = new NetworkImageView(Robolectric.application); mNIV = new NetworkImageView(RuntimeEnvironment.application);

Volley link is available https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley/+/marshmallow-release

you have to add dependencies in volley module in android studio as :

dependencies { testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.19' testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:3.1.2' }

Answer 5

This works for me with Robolectric 3.5.1: ShadowApplication.getInstance().applicationContext

Answer 6

Use this:

Robolectric.application
