Adding Support Library to Robolectric 2.3

Question

After inspiration from this template, I was able to get roblolectric and espresso tests working with android and gradle. The key was to store robolectric in it\'s own module. Ho

Answer 1

Theoretically, instead of copying those files into the local maven repository, you should be able to use android repository directly:

apply plugin: 'java'

repositories {
    def androidHome = System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")
    maven {
        url "$androidHome/extras/android/m2repository/"
    }
}

Note, that you have to install Android Support Repository & Google Repository first through the SDK Manager.
