Get context of test project in Android junit test case

Question

Does anyone know how can you get the context of the Test project in Android junit test case (extends AndroidTestCase).

Answer 1

As you can read in the AndroidTestCase source code, the getTestContext() method is hidden.

/**
 * @hide
 */
public Context getTestContext() {
    return mTestContext;
}

You can bypass the @hide annotation using reflection.

Just add the following method in your AndroidTestCase :

/**
 * @return The {@link Context} of the test project.
 */
private Context getTestContext()
{
    try
    {
        Method getTestContext = ServiceTestCase.class.getMethod("getTestContext");
        return (Context) getTestContext.invoke(this);
    }
    catch (final Exception exception)
    {
        exception.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

Then call getTestContext() any time you want. :)
