Add the required libraries into the dependencies section of your Android module's build.gradle:
android {
...
defaultConfig {
...
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
}
dependencies {
...
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.5'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.5'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.uiautomator:uiautomator-v18:2.1.2'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.4.0'
}
⚠ Note that of course the versions may differ in the mean time.
After this sync with the changes.
Then add a new Java class inside the androidTest folder:
public class InterAppTest extends InstrumentationTestCase {
private UiDevice device;
@Override
public void setUp() throws Exception {
device = UiDevice.getInstance(getInstrumentation());
}
public void testPressHome() throws Exception {
device.pressHome();
}
}
By making a right click on the class tab and on "Run "InterAppTest" executes this test.
