How to modify system settings in Robotium

[Xiaofeng Xu]

Hi, All,

Is there any way to modify system settings using Robotium?
I would like to turn on setting->Applications-> unknown source
permission.

Or is there other automatic way to do this?


Thank you very much.

Hello,

Did you try this:  http://code.google.com/p/robotium/wiki/RobotiumForPreInstalledApps ?

Best regards,

Yahor

I tried to start setting activity in my test project, using the
following code:

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.android.settings",
"com.android.settings.ApplicationSettings");
i.setComponent(cn);
solo.getCurrentActivity().startActivity(i);
solo.goBack();

The settings is started, after
"solo.getCurrentActivity().startActivity(i);". However, the
"solo.goBack()" cannot go back to my testing app.

Is this the correct way to use "goBack()"?

Thank you.

Hello,

Please try to return to your app, sending your app's Intent, like you open Settings.

Best regards,

Thank you.

Yes, I tried that, it works.
Intent localIntent = new Intent(solo.getCurrentActivity(),
HomeActivity.class);
solo.getCurrentActivity().startActivity(localIntent);

It would go back to HomeActivity.

I have one more question. when I used the following code to start
setting.

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.android.settings",
"com.android.settings.ApplicationSettings");
i.setComponent(cn);
solo.getCurrentActivity().startActivity(i);

Can I use "solo.clickonscreen(x,y)" to modify the setting?
How to decide the value of x, and y in the clickonscreen function?

Hello,

Regarding interaction with the settings application - without tricks it is not possible due to the security restrictions,

you would get 'event injection' exception, but you can try the following:

1. add EVENT_INJECTIONS permission into the test's manifest file;

2. (perhaps will help) resign settings app, use article for information: robotium for preinstalled apps.

I think you almost have no chance to get Settings app's views to know what are clicking, but you can hardcode some coords for sure for clicking.

Best regards,

Hi, Yahor,

The error I got is "the click can not be completed." I guess this is
because the click is not done on the testing app.
Because robotium only supports one app one time, even if I resign
settings app, I still can not modify settings in my test project, am I
right?
Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
Xiaofeng

Hello,

I'm not sure for 100%, but I'm able to do clicks in the different apps, if they are signed with the same cert.

But I'm testing custom Android OS image, so there are could be differencies with the original Android OS

testing.

If you need this click very much, you can root your device and do clicks anywhere you like :)

Best regards,

Yahor

I see.

Thank you very much. I will try to root it.
