Accessing application context from TestSuite in Setup() before calling getActivity()

Question

I have an Activity that pulls an object from an Application extended class (application context) from within the OnCreate() method.

Answer 1

With the newer UI testing framework getInstrumentation() is no longer available. One way to get hold of the Application object is to cast the application Context:

Application app = 
        (Application) InstrumentationRegistry
                .getTargetContext()
                .getApplicationContext();
