A simple template project for test-driven Android development using Kotlin and Robolectric

Deckard

Deckard is the simplest possible Kotlin Android application project that uses Robolectric for testing and Gradle to build. It has one Activity and a single Robolectric test of that Activity.

Deckard imports easily into the latest editions of Android Studio with minimal setup.

Setup

Note: These instructions assume you have a Java 1.8 JDK installed.

To start a new Android project:

1. Install Android Studio 3.0.

2. Download Deckard-Kotlin as a zip here and then extract it on your dev machine.

3. Import the template into Android Studio by clicking "Import project" and selecting the project directory.

4. Change the names of things from 'Deckard' to whatever is appropriate for your project. Package name, classes, build.gradle, and the AndroidManifest are good places to start.

5. Build an app. Win.

Running on the command line

1. In the project directory you should be able to run the Robolectric tests:

   ./gradlew test

2. You can also run the Espresso tests:

   ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest

   Note: Make sure to start an Emulator or connect a device first so the test has something to connect to.

3. Finally you can build a debug .apk of the project for installation on phones:

   ./gradlew assemble

   This will output the file to build/outputs/apk/*-debug.apk

deckard-kotlin's Issues

Iris wants basic password standards to be enforced for all new retros

doesnt work in AndroidStudio 3 with 3.0.0-alpha1 android gradle plugin

If you upgrade the gradle android plugin to 3.0.0-alpha1

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.2-4'

    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha1'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

then running the test within IntelliJ will lead to

Class not found: "com.example.test.DeckardActivityTest"Empty test suite.

Android/Kotlin versions are behind

It's been long time no upgrade.

Hi Mr Stott,

Your repo is very smart and pretty for demonstrate mockito with kotlin. But it's been long time no upgrade.
Since Robolectric has already released 4.2 version. Google is porting android.test to AndroidX library, which has a new AndroidJUnitRunner.
For example: constants = BuildConfig::class has been removed from the latest Robolectric.
Do you have plan to update this repo?
