This is a minimalistic project setup for test driving an android application with Robolectric. It uses: Maven, Robolectric, Fest assertions, Roboguice, Android 4.2.2

The goal is for use to be able to create a new project using this template, and get running quickly using Android Studio.

This project assumes your Android SDK is installed in $HOME/android-sdk

1. Setup Android in $HOME/android-sdk
2. Create a new project
3. Setup Android 4.2.2 in your local maven repo
4. Open the project in Android Studio
5. Run Tests via Android Studio (Ensure jUnit is configured)
6. Run Tests via Maven (mvn clean test)
7. Code!

Use script/create-project to create a new project. It takes two parameters: the directory name, and the project package name. For example:

$ script/create-project my-awesome-gmail-clone com.example.android.gmailClone


Creating project to my-awesome-gmail-clone using package com.example.android.gmailClone

drwxr-xr-x   4 pivotal  staff   136 Jul 23 11:37 src

Then you should be able to open the project in Android Studio. Running the tests should be as simple as running the test build, or the maven test target.

After installing Android 4.2.2 in your sdk, simply do:

$ script/setup

If you have issues with JUnit version, make sure you do the following:

1. Open: File > Project structure > Modules > Dependencies
2. Find JUnit in the list and make sure to pull it up, before Android
