Robolectric with ActiveAndroid setup nullpointerexception on ActiveAndroid$ReflectionUtils

Question

I am trying to implement robolectric testing in an existing app. I can run simple static tests but when I add testing with ActiveAndroid I get NullPointerExceptions, I think Act

Ah, we had a similar issue. We resolved it by next Robolectric feature http://robolectric.org/custom-test-runner/

We moved created method:

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    installMultiDex();
}

protected void installMultiDex() {
    MultiDex.install(this);
}

And overrided it in the test application:

@Override
protected void installMultiDex() {
    //don't do anything
}
