robolectric 2 - create activity with intent

Question

Does creating an activity using the .withIntent() not work in Robolectric 2? I\'m doing the following

    activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(         


        

Answer 1

I figured out my problem. I wasn't instantiating the Intent properly. I was instantiating it with the no-arg constructor when i needed to give a Context and the class of the Activity it was being sent to

Answer 2

For newer versions of Robolectric use Robolectric.buildActivity(Class, Intent).

EDIT: It was fixed in version 2.2.

I tackled with the same issue. It was reported but no fix has been provided yet. For now, I manage to hack it using Activity's setter before calling onCreate(), taking advantage from the fact that its lifecycle has not yet started:

Intent intent = new Intent();
MainActivity mainActivity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MainActivity.class)
                                       .create()
                                       .get();
mainActivity.setIntent(intent);
mainActivity.onCreate(null);

This is a case where a fluent-style API kinds of leads you down the wrong path...

You want to:

activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MyActivity.class)
                        .withIntent(intent)
                        .create()
                        .get();

so that the intent is provided to the builder before it calls onCreate().
