<p>
This sample is the test application for the
<a href="../../../resources/tutorials/testing/activity_test.html">Activity
Testing</a> tutorial. It tests the <a href="../Spinner/index.html">Spinner</a> example
application.
</p>
<p>
The test application uses the
<a href="../../../reference/android/test/ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2.html"><code>ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2</code></a>
test case class,
which extends both <a href="../../../reference/android/app/Instrumentation">Android instrumentation</a> and the JUnit
<a href="../../../reference/junit/framework/TestCase.html"><code>TestCase</code></a>
class. The test runner is <a href="../../../reference/android/test/InstrumentationTestRunner.html"><code>InstrumentationTestRunner</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
The application shows how to set up a test application project,
how to create the <a href="AndroidManifest.html"><code>AndroidManifest.xml</code></a>
file for a test application, and how to set up a test case class for a test fixture. The
test case class, <a href="src/com/android/example/spinner/test/SpinnerActivityTest.html"><code>SpinnerActivityTest</code></a>,
contains tests that demonstrate the following Android test patterns:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Test setup: The <code>setUp()</code> method re-initializes the state of the application under test
before each test is run.
</li>
<li>
Initial conditions: The <code>testPreconditions()</code> method demonstrates how to
test that the application under test is properly initialized prior to running the
test fixture.
</li>
<li>
UI interaction: The <code>testSpinnerUI()</code> method demonstrates how to send keystrokes
to the activity under test and then test the result.
</li>
<li>
Application control using instrumentation: The <code>testStateDestroy()</code> and <code>testStatePause()</code>
methods demonstrate how to use instrumentation to trigger stages in the lifecycle of the activity under test.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The <a href="AndroidManifest.html">manifest</a> declares an <code>&lt;instrumentation&gt;</code> element
that links the test application with the application under test. Specifically, the
element's <code>android:name</code> attribute specifies <code>InstrumentationTestRunner</code> as the
instrumentation to use. The <code>android:targetPackage</code> attribute specifies
<code>com.android.example.spinner</code> as the name of the Android package that contains the
application under test.
