Test Android Activity with different Application class

问题

I´m looking for a way to test an Activity with JUnit4 and the ActivityTestRule, but with a different application class (e.g. mocked or inherited). I was able to get this for library projects using the manifest merge and tools:replace="android:name" on the application tag in the androidTest/AndroidManifest.xml. This however does not work for applications.

Any ideas how this can be done?

You can subclass the AndroidJUnitRunner with your own runner and override newApplication() with your custom application class.

public class CustomTestRunner extends AndroidJUnitRunner {

@Override
public Application newApplication(ClassLoader cl, String className, Context context) throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException {
    return super.newApplication(cl, CustomTestApplication.class.getName(), context);
}
}

Make sure to update your build.gradle with the new runner like this:

testInstrumentationRunner "com.mypackage.name.path.CustomTestRunner"
