android.util.AndroidException: INSTRUMENTATION_FAILED:

Question

I have a simple android app and I am testing it using my phone. So, there are two ways to do that :

1. Using eclipse
2. Using CLI

Problem:

Answer 1

A more precise explanation/approach is the following:

Make sure you do

adb install -r bin/<>-debug.apk 

from both from tests and the app directory.

After that ant test should work from the tests directory. (My guess is that there was a missing dependency to the app from test package - which was causing the failure).

Other than the above little hack, rest of the procedure I followed came from the android testing introduction on http://developer.android.com/.
