How can I shadow the PackageManager with Robolectric

Question

My Android application has a simple method to fire off an intent to display a URL.

protected void launchBrowser(int id)
{
    Uri uri = Uri.parse( getStrin

I'm using Robolectric 2.3 for this. As noted in other answers, getPackageManager() does not return null, but shadowApplication.setPackageManager no longer exists.

Since you can't mock PackageManager, you can't give it a list of Intents to resolve for. Fortunately, Robolectric's PackageManager subclass, RobolectricPackageManager, can let you add these intents without a mock:

RobolectricPackageManager rpm = (RobolectricPackageManager)Robolectric.application.getPackageManager();
rpm.addResolveInfoForIntent(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS), new ResolveInfo());
