With build tools 3.0.0 you can use ActivityTestRule

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class)
@SmallTest
class MainActivityTest {
    @Rule
    @JvmField
    var mainActivityRule = ActivityTestRule(MainActivity::class.java)

    private val baseUrl: String
        get() {
            return mainActivityRule.activity.getString(R.string.base_url)
        }

    @Test
    fun launchingWithMovieIntent() {
            assert.that(baseUrl, equalTo("someValue")
        }
    }
}
