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 upgraded to the latest Robolectric (version 2.1.1) and the PackageManager doesn't come up null anymore.

The code below verifies that a browser intent is fired (and configured with a url). I haven't tested this on 1.x, but I think it works there too:

@Test
public void recipeTitleShouldOpenBrowserOnClick() throws Exception
{
    title.performClick();
    ShadowActivity shadowActivity = shadowOf( detailFragment.getActivity() );
    ShadowActivity.IntentForResult intent = shadowActivity.peekNextStartedActivityForResult();

    // or
    // ShadowActivity.IntentForResult intent = shadowActivity.getNextStartedActivityForResult();

    assertThat( intent.intent,
                equalTo( createBrowserIntentWithURL( "url" ) ) );
}

Note: I'm invoking start activity from a fragment here.
