@BeforeClass will run before all the tests and ActivityTestRule

@BeforeClass
public static void setUp() {
    Context context = InstrumentationRegistry.getTargetContext();

    File root = context.getFilesDir().getParentFile();
    String[] sharedPreferencesFileNames = new File(root, "shared_prefs").list();

        context.getSharedPreferences(fileName.replace(".xml", ""), Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit().clear().commit();
    }
}
