Android Fragment getView() in Robolectric returns null

[Henrique Rocha]

Hi,

I'm feeling really stupid not being able to test if a Fragment has an EditText, which is supposed to be a very basic thing.

In this project I really want to try test driven development so I'm getting kind of sad.

I've posted my problem at StackOverflow and immediately got negative points for my question, which made me feel even more stupid.

Can you please help me find the source of my problem?

Thanks very much in advance.

even i am facing the similar issue.

Did you get any answer for it?

No, I gave up trying to use Robolectric.

I can't make it work for me because I'm using an external library called HoloEverywhere, which apparently doesn't work well with Robolectric.

I'll try Robolectric again once my company drops support for Android 2.x and I don't need HoloEverywhere anymore.

FWIW: A fragment's view doesn't get created until its been attached to an activity.  If you want to test a fragment in isolation, the easiest thing to do is to use FragmentTestUtil.

    MyFragment fragment = new MyFragment();

    FragmentTestUtil.startFragment(fragment);

    assertThat(fragment.getView()).isNotNull();

I can't offer much help with HoloEverywhere as I've never used it before.

I tried your method in Roboelectric 2.4 and it still results in a null view... suggestions?
