The last version of Robolectric (3.0-Snapshot) has some problems with customized views.

To fix that, do the follow:

1. In the module app where your code is, create a file called project.properties, at the same level as AndroidManifest.xml
2. Fill the content with reference to the class folder of build. e.g. for StaggeredGridView:

android.library.reference.1=../../build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.etsy.android.grid/library/1.0.5

Here you must check three things:

• There should be one line per reference
• Each reference has one number (1, 2, 3), which should be increase by one each time
• The version number folder at the end must match with the version number in your build.gradle file.

You have an example of project working here: https://github.com/jiahaoliuliu/RobolectricSample/blob/master/app/src/main/project.properties
