I am working on android library module and I want to test the standalone activity in my module. I was following the article https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/write-once-run-everywhere-tests-on-android-88adb2ba20c5 to use roboelectric and androidx test with espresso. I recently introduced dagger 2 to my library project.
With that my Activity looks like this:
class XYZLibBaseActivity : AppCompatActivity(){
@Inject
lateinit var resourceProvider: ResourceProvider
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
//creating the dagger component
DaggerXYZLibComponent.factory().create(application).inject(this)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
}
}
My component declaration is
@Component(modules = [ResourceProviderModule::class])
interface XYZLibComponent{
@Component.Factory
interface Factory{
fun create(@BindsInstance application: Application):XYZLibComponent
}
fun inject(xyzLibBaseActivity: XYZLibBaseActivity)
}
and dagger module is
@Module
class ResourceProviderModule {
@Provides
fun provideResourceProvider(application: Application): ResourceProvider{
return ResourceProviderImpl(application.applicationContext)
}
}
This works perfectly fine and I don't want the underlying application to use dagger 2.
Now I wan to test my activity without depending on the underlying application or application class. How can I inject mock ResourceProvider in the activity? I introduced dagger to inject mock in my test but still not able to do..
