Automate multiple activities using Robotium solo in a single test case?

[shivang....@gmail.com]

I have an application where there are 3 activities and I want to write
a test case to do the testing of all the three activities. I have a
service with which these activities interact. I can't quite figure out
how this should be done. Any example for testing multiple activities
in one test case would do me good. Thanks. Or should I adopt a
different approach?

You can test any number of activities within one application.

Hi,

By the way of writing script only you can move to one activity to another activity.

For example,

// Assume that startup activity is your home cativity having 1 button

solo.clickonbutton(btn1); 

// Assume that after clicking button 1 in first activity, you can move to another activity having button2

solo.clickonbutton(btn2);

// Assume that after clicking button 2 in second activity, you can move to another activity having button3

solo.clickonbutton(btn3);

Solo class will take care about internally for multiple activities....

Thanks and Regards,

Do we have to handle the Service Binding separately? How should a test
case be written? Simply as a user would use my application right?. Let
me clarify my question. Suppose I have one activity which starts and
does nothing but start a service. This service in turn starts the
Clicking on this button I will send some information to the service
and then a new Activity should get launched. Now inside this activity
by giving some KeyCode Events and pressing the Ok button the 3rd
activity should get launched. I need This to happen inside my test
case. Let me post the code that I have written already

public class StartToEndTest extends InstrumentationTestCase{

private Solo solo;
private Instrumentation mInstrumentation;
private Context mTargetContext;

public void testAutomation(){

mInstrumentation = getInstrumentation();
solo = new Solo(mInstrumentation);
mTargetContext = mInstrumentation.getTargetContext();

//Start 1st activity
Intent intent = new
Intent(mTargetContext,FirstActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
mInstrumentation.startActivitySync(intent);

//Wait for the 2nd activity and check not null
solo.waitForActivity(SecondActivity.class.getName());
solo.assertCurrentActivity("Failure to start Second
Activity", SecondActivity.class);

//Sleep for some time. No particular reason.
solo.sleep(10000);
//Added these 2 if statements to ensure correct button is
being detected.
if(solo.searchButton("Reporting for Duty", true)){
Button btn = solo.getButton("Reporting for Duty");
if(btn.isClickable()){
solo.clickOnButton("Reporting for Duty");
}
}

//Wait for 3rd activity
solo.waitForActivity(ThirdActivity.class.getName());
solo.assertCurrentActivity("Failure", ThirdActivity.class);


}

}

Missing line in my reply -> "This service in turn starts 2nd activity
which has a button."
