public class DatabaseTest extends AndroidTestCase { private MyDatabase db; @Override public void setUp() throws Exception { super.setUp(); RenamingDelegatingContext context = new RenamingDelegatingContext(getContext(), "test_"); db = new MyDatabase(context); } @Override public void tearDown() throws Exception { db.close(); super.tearDown(); } //According to Zainodis annotation only for legacy and not valid with gradle>1.1: //@Test public void testAddEntry(){ // Here i have my new database wich is not connected to the standard database of the App } }
