+This application illustrates basic state management across the Android application life cycle,
+mainly for the purpose of highlighting common patterns of Activity testing. When the application
+is first run, the spinner widget displays a default selection of "Earth".
+Thereafter, the application saves a selection as soon as it
is made. The application remembers the selection from invocation to invocation, even
if the device reboots.

-This sample is the test application for the
-<a href="../../../resources/tutorials/testing/activity_test.html">Activity
- Testing Tutorial</a>. Refer to the tutorial text for a full explanation
-of this sample code.
+ This sample is the test application for the
+ <a href="../../../resources/tutorials/testing/activity_test.html">Activity
+ Testing</a> tutorial. It tests the <a href="../Spinner/index.html">Spinner</a> example
+ application.
</p>
<p>
- This application does not have an Android GUI.
+ The test application uses the
+<a href="../../../reference/android/test/ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2.html"><code>ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2</code></a>
+ test case class,
+ which extends both <a href="../../../reference/android/app/Instrumentation">Android instrumentation</a> and the JUnit
+<a href="../../../reference/junit/framework/TestCase.html"><code>TestCase</code></a>
+ class. The test runner is <a href="../../../reference/android/test/InstrumentationTestRunner.html"><code>InstrumentationTestRunner</code></a>.
</p>
+<p>
+ The application shows how to set up a test application project,
+ how to create the <a href="AndroidManifest.html"><code>AndroidManifest.xml</code></a>
+ file for a test application, and how to set up a test case class for a test fixture. The
+ test case class, <a href="src/com/android/example/spinner/test/SpinnerActivityTest.html"><code>SpinnerActivityTest</code></a>,
+ contains tests that demonstrate the following Android test patterns:
+</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Test setup: The <code>setUp()</code> method re-initializes the state of the application under test
+ before each test is run.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Initial conditions: The <code>testPreconditions()</code> method demonstrates how to
+ test that the application under test is properly initialized prior to running the
+ test fixture.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ UI interaction: The <code>testSpinnerUI()</code> method demonstrates how to send keystrokes
+ to the activity under test and then test the result.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Application control using instrumentation: The <code>testStateDestroy()</code> and <code>testStatePause()</code>
+ methods demonstrate how to use instrumentation to trigger stages in the lifecycle of the activity under test.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+<p>
+ The <a href="AndroidManifest.html">manifest</a> declares an <code><instrumentation></code> element
+ that links the test application with the application under test. Specifically, the
+ element's <code>android:name</code> attribute specifies <code>InstrumentationTestRunner</code> as the
+ instrumentation to use. The <code>android:targetPackage</code> attribute specifies
+ <code>com.android.example.spinner</code> as the name of the Android package that contains the
+ application under test.
