How do you test an Android application across multiple Activities?

Question

Answer 1

you can do it like this to avoid the flake waiting times out of sync :

final Button btnLogin = (Button) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.button);
Instrumentation instrumentation = getInstrumentation();

// Register we are interested in the authentication activity...
Instrumentation.ActivityMonitor aMonitor = 
        instrumentation.addMonitor(mynextActivity.class.getName(), null, false);

getInstrumentation().runOnMainSync(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
             btnLogin.performClick();
         }
     });

getInstrumentation().waitForIdleSync();

//check if we got at least one hit on the new activity
assertTrue(getInstrumentation().checkMonitorHit(aMonitor, 1));
