Android Phone.apk test with Robotium

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,
I am newbie in Java programming and Android-testing. i will like to test the 
android Phone.apk application with robotium-solo-2.2.jar.   
I follow all the steps on this links successfully: 
http://code.google.com/p/robotium/wiki/RobotiumForPreInstalledApps.

my test application:

package com.android.contacts.phoneTesting;
import android.app.Activity;
import com.jayway.android.robotium.solo.Solo;

import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public class PhonecallTest extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2{

private static final String TARGET_PACKAGE_ID = "com.android.contacts";

    private static final String LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME = 
        "com.android.contacts.DialtactsActivity";

    private static Class<?> launcherActivityClass;

    static {

        try {

            launcherActivityClass = Class.forName(LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME);

        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

            throw new RuntimeException(e);

        }

    }

        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")  

    public PhonecallTest() throws ClassNotFoundException {

        super(TARGET_PACKAGE_ID, launcherActivityClass);

    }

    private Solo solo;
    private Activity activity;

    @Override
    protected void setUp() throws Exception {

               setUp();
        activity = getActivity();
        solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(), activity);
    }

    public void testDial()throws Exception  {
        solo.enterText(0, "5");
        solo.enterText(1, "3");
        solo.enterText(3, "7");
        solo.enterText(4, "3");
        solo.enterText(5, "9");
        solo.enterText(6, "1");
        solo.clickOnButton("Dial");
        assertTrue(solo.searchEditText("537391"));
        }

    @Override
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {

        try {

            solo.finalize();

        } catch (Throwable e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

        activity.finish();

        super.tearDown();

    }

}

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.android.contacts.phoneTesting"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0"
      android:sharedUserId="android.uid.phone" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
    <instrumentation android:targetPackage="com.android.contacts" android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner" />
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">

    <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />
    </application>
</manifest>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Have you installed the test project on device before trying to run the test 
suite?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

yes I install it on /data/app

I am not sure what the problem is. Have you tried to run the test project from 
development tools instead?

Others have had problems with the contacts applicaiton. Try with the 
pre-installed calculator instead. I see nothing wrong in how you have created 
your test case.

I test already the pre-installed calculator. the test was successful. My next 
steps was the contacts application. 
Thank you for your support.

Can somebody provide solution for it. I am also facing the same issue 

Original comment by mydreams...@gmail.com on 26 Jun 2012 at 12:02

This is what you need to do:

I tested the Contacts.apk with Robotium in emulator.

If you want to test native applications(e.g. Contacts.apk, Settings.apk) then 
you have to use test key that is in android 
source(/build/target/product/security). There is README file in that place. 
Contacts.apk use 'shared' key.

Any one tell me, in case of pre-installed app Calculator. When i use to adb 
push the calculator then the icon in emulator goes invisible.

Can some one tell me how to add test project without having the complete 
Package and source code for the application. Like I don't have the complete 
source code for contacts.apk and while creating test project it asks for the 
package to browse.

Thanks for the reply.
 But the above link only tells about the pushing the new signed apk. While creating robotium test project it asks for the select test target to select from the existing project but for inbuilt apk we don't have the target project.(File > New > other > Android Test project >do next > Give project name>  Select Test Target ?  here what to select as I don't have the complete code for inbuilt apk).

Please download the tutorial test android apk file with Robotium.

The test android apk(AndroidCalculator) has calculator package and the source 
code for calculator. So I will be able to test only calculator package not 
other packages like settings. I want to test settings package but I don't have 
the source code for it. That's why I was asking what to select in "select Test 
Target" field in my previous comment.
