androidx.test.InstrumentationRegistry is deprecated

Question

Switched to AndroidX and received deprecated: import androidx.test.InstrumentationRegistry.

If I made next import: import androidx.te

Answer 1

When you're using Android X you need to make sure you have the following in your app's build.gradle file

androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:core:1.1.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.0'

The second one is to make sure you have the correct AndroidJUnit4 to use in your tests.

Make sure you import both of these.

import androidx.test.platform.app.InstrumentationRegistry
import androidx.test.ext.junit.runners.AndroidJUnit4

Now instead of using val context = InstrumentationRegistry.getContext() you can use the line shown below

val context = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().getTargetContext()
