working with UIautomator 2.0 and Android Studio 2.x

问题

I was working with uiautomator 1.0.1 using eclispe and generating jar files and using in my setup. Can anyone point to appropriate source where I can get step by step procedure for switching to Uiautomator 2.0 with Android Studio.

To use the Android Testing Support Library in your Gradle project, add these dependencies in your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
  androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.4'
  // Set this dependency to use JUnit 4 rules
  androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.4'
  // Set this dependency to build and run Espresso tests
  androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.1'
  // Set this dependency to build and run UI Automator tests
  androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.uiautomator:uiautomator-v18:2.1.2'
}

Also you need to set the JUnitRunner as the default test instrumentation runner in your Gradle project (UI Automator 2.0 uses android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner instead of android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner).

android {
    defaultConfig {
       testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
}
