how can you tell when an Android activity is finished loading?

Question

I\'m in the process of working on an automated test suite for our android app, and running into trouble waiting for activities to fully load. I can call getActivity, but ju

Answer 1

If you create a setUp() method like this in your test case extending ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2

@Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
    super.setUp();

    final MyActivity activity = getActivity();

    tv1 = (EditNumber)activity.findViewById(resId1);
    tv2 = (EditNumber)activity.findViewById(resId2);
}

your Activity will be fully operational and the layout loaded, demonstrated in this case by the fact that you can access the Views and its content

@SmallTest
public void testSimpleCreate() {
    final MyActivity activity = getActivity();
    assertNotNull(activity);

    assertNotNull(tv1);
    assertEquals("mystr1", tv1.getText().toString());
    assertNotNull(tv1);
    assertEquals("mystr2", tv2.getText().toString());
}
