How to IntentsTestRule, in AndroidTest

About IntentsTestRule

IntentsTestRule is AndroidTest which can do intent test.

If use, we have to add Espresso-Intents library in build.gradle.

    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-intents:2.1'

Test Sample

The following code is sample which Intent has Intent.ACTION_CALL by user operation.

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
@LargeTest
public class MainActivityIntentTest {

    @Rule
    public IntentsTestRule<MainActivity> mActivityRule = new IntentsTestRule<>(
            MainActivity.class);

    @Before
    public void stubAllExternalIntents() {
        // By default Espresso Intents does not stub any Intents. Stubbing needs to be setup before
        // every test run. In this case all external Intents will be blocked.
        intending(not(isInternal()))
                .respondWith(new Instrumentation.ActivityResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, null));
    }

    @Test
    public void callPhone() {
        // call action
        onView(withId(R.id.callButton)).perform(click());

        // test
        intended(allOf(
                hasAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL),
                hasData("tel:0123456789"),
                toPackage("com.android.server.telecom")));

    }
}

Add Intent to Starting Activity

If need to add Intent to Activity, we need to do override IntentsTestRule#getActivityIntent.

    @Rule
    public IntentsTestRule<MainActivity> mActivityRule = new IntentsTestRule<>(MainActivity.class) {

        /**
        * add Intent to Activity
        */
        @Override
        protected Intent getActivityIntent() {
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.putExtra(KEY_DATA,data);
            return intent;
        }
    };
