Answer 1

Update: The annotation is now @Config(sdk = 18) (or @Config(sdk = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)) and the properties file mentioned in link is now robolectric.properties.

Original Answer: You can use the @Config annotation to have Robolectric emulate an SDK version. You can put this :

import org.robolectric.annotation.Config;

@Config(emulateSdk = 18) // now @Config(sdk = 18) as of Robolectric 3.0
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class SomeTest ...

This is also possible using a file as mentioned here

Not sure what it means for your KitKat specific tests but at least the others should work.

Answer 2

In case people like me, still visiting the link for the similar error,

@Config(emulateSdk = ) is not working now. Its changed to sdk--
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk=21)

For me, I was getting error with target version 22,

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Robolectric does not support API level 22

and so I emulated it to 21.

According to SdkConfig.java, Roboelectric only supports the following versions / API levels:

SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN, new SdkVersion("4.1.2_r1", "0"));
SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1, new SdkVersion("4.2.2_r1.2", "0"));
SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2, new SdkVersion("4.3_r2", "0"));
SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT, new SdkVersion("4.4_r1", "0"));
SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP, new SdkVersion("5.0.0_r2", "0"));

Are you sure you have tried those?
