Use applyConfigurationToResources to update resources

This is required to properly update all configurations cached inside the resources
manager, which maintains a weak map of resources keyed on activity keys. When using
activity contexts this is particularly important as otherwise activities can get
created with stale configurations.

This also uses the current configuration that's cached on the activity instance to
compute the configuration change to determine whether to recreate the activity or
not, this aligns with real Android behavior.

Adds the logic flag protected to allow gradual rollout.

Build Status GitHub release

Robolectric is the industry-standard unit testing framework for Android. With Robolectric, your tests run in a simulated Android environment inside a JVM, without the overhead and flakiness of an emulator. Robolectric tests routinely run 10x faster than those on cold-started emulators.

Robolectric supports running unit tests for 14 different versions of Android, ranging from Lollipop (API level 21) to U (API level 34).

Usage

Here's an example of a simple test written using Robolectric:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class MyActivityTest {

  @Test
  public void clickingButton_shouldChangeResultsViewText() {
    Activity activity = Robolectric.setupActivity(MyActivity.class);

    Button button = (Button) activity.findViewById(R.id.press_me_button);
    TextView results = (TextView) activity.findViewById(R.id.results_text_view);

    button.performClick();
    assertThat(results.getText().toString(), equalTo("Testing Android Rocks!"));
  }
}

Install

Starting a New Project

If you'd like to start a new project with Robolectric tests, you can refer to deckard (for either Maven or Gradle) as a guide to setting up both Android and Robolectric on your machine.

build.gradle

testImplementation "junit:junit:4.13.2"
testImplementation "org.robolectric:robolectric:4.13"

Building and Contributing

Robolectric is built using Gradle. Both Android Studio and IntelliJ can import the top-level build.gradle.kts file and will automatically generate their project files from it.

To get Robolectric up and running on your machine, check out this guide.

To get a high-level overview of Robolectric's architecture, check out ARCHITECTURE.md.

Using Snapshots

If you would like to live on the bleeding edge, you can try running against a snapshot build. Keep in mind that snapshots represent the most recent changes on the master and may contain bugs.

build.gradle

repositories {
    maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots" }
}

dependencies {
    testImplementation "org.robolectric:robolectric:4.14-SNAPSHOT"
}
