Dummy Intents to emulate video, camera and other services #43

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
The crawler cannot continue the exploration when the control flow exits the 
target package of the Instrumentation.
This happens when an implicit Intent is answered by an external service, e.g. 
the camera starts in order to take a photo, Contacts starts in order to select 
a contact and so on...
Still, we could be able emulate the answer provided by these services when 
they're well known, i.e. for services that are part of the Android system. This 
will usually bring the control flow back to the application under test and 
allow the crawler to resume the exploration
