the snippet above are the output log from test-run

the test-case:

import android.widget.EditText;


import com.example.BuildConfig;
import com.example.R;


import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.robolectric.Robolectric;
import org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner;
import org.robolectric.annotation.Config;


import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;




// start test junit
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 21)
public class FoodActivityTest {
    @Test
    public void testSomething() throws Exception {
        assertTrue(Robolectric.setupActivity(FoodActivity.class) != null);
        FoodActivity foodActivity = Robolectric.setupActivity(FoodActivity.class);
        EditText foodNameEditText = (EditText) foodActivity.findViewById(R.id.foodEditText);
        assertTrue(foodNameEditText.getText().toString().contentEquals("Tomato"));


    }
}

the activity:

// code

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.EditText;

import com.example.R;

public class FoodActivity extends Activity {

    private EditText foodNameEditText;

    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_food);                         

        // foodNameEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.foodEditText);

        // foodNameEditText.setText("Tomato");                                                  

    }

}
