How to pass an argument to an AndroidTestCase?

Question

I\'ve implemented an Instrumentation and an AndroidTestCase.

For my tests I need to connect to an external WIFI device. I want the testers to be able to specify an S

Found a solution.

I made my test-runner inherit from InstrumentationTestRunner and took the extra data in onCreate():

public class MyTestRunner extends InstrumentationTestRunner {

    public static String BAR;

    public void onCreate(Bundle arguments) {

        if (null != arguments) {    
            BAR = (String) arguments.get("foo"));
        }    
        super.onCreate(arguments);
    }
}

I added to Android.mk:

LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES := android.test.runner

And to AndroidManifest.xml:

Ran it using this command line:

adb shell am instrument -w -e foo the_value_of_bar com.example/com.example.MyTestRunner

I was able to get the 'foo' parameter from the command line and use BAR in my AndroidTestCase.
