MonitoringInstrumentation

public class MonitoringInstrumentation extends Instrumentation

Known direct subclasses
AndroidJUnitRunner

An Instrumentation that runs JUnit3 and JUnit4 tests against an Android package (application).

Known indirect subclasses
AndroidBenchmarkRunner

Instrumentation runner for benchmarks, used to increase stability of measurements and minimize interference.


An instrumentation that enables several advanced features and makes some hard guarantees about the state of the application under instrumentation.

A short list of these capabilities:

  • Forces Application.onCreate() to happen before Instrumentation.onStart() runs (ensuring your code always runs in a sane state).
  • Logs application death due to exceptions.
  • Allows tracking of activity lifecycle states.
  • Registers instrumentation arguments in an easy to access place.
  • Ensures your activities are creating themselves in reasonable amounts of time.
  • Provides facilities to dump current app threads to test outputs.
  • Ensures all activities finish before instrumentation exits.
This Instrumentation is *NOT* a test instrumentation (some of its subclasses are). It makes no assumptions about what the subclass wants to do.

Summary

Nested types

Loops through all the activities that have not yet finished and explicitly calls finish on them.

finish

public void finish(int resultCode, Bundle results)

Ensures all activities launched in this instrumentation are finished before the instrumentation exits.

Subclasses who override this method should do their finish processing and then call super.finish to invoke this logic. Not waiting for all activities to finish() before exiting can cause device wide instability.

interceptActivityUsing

public void interceptActivityUsing(
    InterceptingActivityFactory interceptingActivityFactory
)

Use the given InterceptingActivityFactory to create Activity instance in newActivity. This can be used to override default behavior of activity in tests e.g. mocking startService() method in Activity under test, to avoid starting the real service and instead verifying that a particular service was started.

Parameters
InterceptingActivityFactory interceptingActivityFactory

InterceptingActivityFactory to be used for creating activity instance in newActivity

newActivity

public Activity newActivity(
    Class<Object> clazz,
    Context context,
    IBinder token,
    Application application,
    Intent intent,
    ActivityInfo info,
    CharSequence title,
    Activity parent,
    String id,
    Object lastNonConfigurationInstance
)

newApplication

public Application newApplication(ClassLoader cl, String className, Context context)

Does initialization before creating the application.

Note, newApplication is called before onCreate on API >15. For API <= 15, onCreate is called first.

onCreate

public void onCreate(Bundle arguments)

Sets up lifecycle monitoring, and argument registry.

Subclasses must call up to onCreate(). This onCreate method does not call start() it is the subclasses responsibility to call start if it desires.

onDestroy

public void onDestroy()

onException

public boolean onException(Object obj, Throwable e)

onStart

public void onStart()

This implementation of onStart() will guarantee that the Application's onCreate method has completed when it returns.

Subclasses should call super.onStart() before executing any code that touches the application and it's state.

runOnMainSync

public void runOnMainSync(Runnable runnable)

Posts a runnable to the main thread and blocks the caller's thread until the runnable is executed. When a Throwable is thrown in the runnable, the exception is propagated back to the caller's thread. If it is an unchecked throwable, it will be rethrown as is. If it is a checked exception, it will be rethrown as a RuntimeException.

Parameters
Runnable runnable

a runnable to be executed on the main thread

startActivitySync

public Activity startActivitySync(Intent intent)

useDefaultInterceptingActivityFactory

public void useDefaultInterceptingActivityFactory()

Use default mechanism of creating activity instance in newActivity

Protected methods

dumpThreadStateToOutputs

protected void dumpThreadStateToOutputs(String outputFileName)

getThreadState

protected String getThreadState()

installMultidex

protected void installMultidex()

installOldMultiDex

protected void installOldMultiDex(Class<Object> multidexClass)

Perform application MultiDex installation only when instrumentation installation is not available. Called when MultiDex class is available but MultiDex.installInstrumentation is not.

isPrimaryInstrProcess

protected final boolean isPrimaryInstrProcess()

Checks whether this instance of instrumentation should be considered as a primary instrumentation process.

Prior to API 26, instrumentation could only run in a single process and that would be the primary process. Post API 26, the primary process is the first process listed in android:targetProcesses or the default process of the targetPackage.

Returns
boolean

true if the given process is the primary instrumentation process

isPrimaryInstrProcess

protected boolean isPrimaryInstrProcess(@Nullable String argsProcessName)

Checks whether this instance of instrumentation should be considered as a primary instrumentation process.

Prior to API 26, instrumentation could only run in a single process and that would be the primary process. Post API 26, the primary process is the first process listed in android:targetProcesses or the default process of the targetPackage.

Parameters
@Nullable String argsProcessName

unused.

Returns
boolean

true if the given process is the primary instrumentation process

restoreUncaughtExceptionHandler

protected void restoreUncaughtExceptionHandler()

setJsBridgeClassName

protected final void setJsBridgeClassName(String className)

shouldWaitForActivitiesToComplete

protected boolean shouldWaitForActivitiesToComplete()

specifyDexMakerCacheProperty

protected void specifyDexMakerCacheProperty()

unwrapException

protected Throwable unwrapException(Throwable t)

Unwraps an exception from certain wrapper types, e.g. RuntimeException.

We consider two exceptions the same if they are caused by the same root cause. For example, when an exception occurs on the main thread, the #onException method is first called to handle it, and the exception is wrapped with RuntimeException and re-thrown, which is then caught by the uncaught exception handler. In this case, the exception should only be handled once.

Returns
Throwable

the root cause of the given exception

waitForActivitiesToComplete

protected void waitForActivitiesToComplete()

Ensures we've onStopped() all activities which were onStarted().

According to Activity's contract, the process is not killable between onStart and onStop. Breaking this contract (which finish() will if you let it) can cause bad behaviour (including a full restart of system_server).

We give the app 2 seconds to stop all its activities, then we proceed.

This should never be run on the main thread.
