No need to create a custom RoboelectricTestRunner, just play a bit with your 'Run Configurations' on Eclipse. On the configuration for running your tests, go to the classpath tab and ensure that the libraries required for your test, e.g. robolectric-2.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar and android.jar and the project itself are in the User Entries and ONLY the Java SDK is in the Bootstrap Entries.

Then add this file:
