1. 问题背景描述

在工作中需要在没有项目源码的情况下直接使用robotium测试目标android平台launcher,平台的版本基于当前最新的android 4.4.2。之前在验证可行性的时候使用本人同样使用android4.4.2的测试手机htc incredable s针对一个只有apk的notepad应用做过同样的验证,在测试手机上运行完全没有问题。该测试代码如下:

package com.example.android.notepad.tryout;

import com.robotium.solo.Solo;

import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.app.Activity;

@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public class NotePadTest extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2{

	private static Solo solo = null;
	public Activity activity;
	
	private static final int NUMBER_TOTAL_CASES = 2;
	private static int run = 0;
	
	private static Class<?> launchActivityClass;
	//对应re-sign.jar生成出来的信息框里的两个值
	private static String mainActiviy = "com.example.android.notepad.NotesList";
	private static String packageName = "com.example.android.notepad";

	static {

		try {

			launchActivityClass = Class.forName(mainActiviy);

		} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

			throw new RuntimeException(e);

		}

	}
	
	
	@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	public NotePadTest() {
		super(packageName, launchActivityClass);
	}

	
	@Override
	public void setUp() throws Exception {
		//setUp() is run before a test case is started. 
		//This is where the solo object is created.
		super.setUp(); 
		//The variable solo has to be static, since every time after a case's finished, this class TCCreateNote would be re-instantiated
		// which would lead to soto to re-instantiated to be null if it's not set as static
		//TextView title = (TextView)getActivity().findViewById(Ref.id.title);
		
		if(solo == null) {
			
			NotePadTest.solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(),getActivity());
			
		}
	}
	
	@Override
	public void tearDown() throws Exception {
		//Check whether it's the last case executed.
		run += countTestCases();
		if(run >= NUMBER_TOTAL_CASES) {
			solo.finishOpenedActivities();
		}
	}

	public void testAddNoteCNTitle() throws Exception {
		//Thread.sleep(5000);
		solo.clickOnMenuItem("Add note");
		solo.enterText(0, "中文标签笔记");
		solo.clickOnMenuItem("Save");
		solo.clickInList(0);
		solo.clearEditText(0);
		solo.enterText(0, "Text 1");
		solo.clickOnMenuItem("Save");
		solo.assertCurrentActivity("Expected NotesList Activity", "NotesList");
		
		solo.clickLongOnText("中文标签笔记");
		solo.clickOnText("Delete");
		
		
	}
	
	
	public void testAddNoteEngTitle() throws Exception {
		solo.clickOnMenuItem("Add note");
		solo.enterText(0, "English Title Note");
		solo.clickOnMenuItem("Save");
		solo.clickInList(0);
		solo.clearEditText(0);
		solo.enterText(0, "Text 1");
		solo.clickOnMenuItem("Save");
		solo.assertCurrentActivity("Expected NotesList Activity", "NotesList");
		
		solo.clickLongOnText("English Title Note");
		solo.clickOnText("Delete");
	}
}


但在工作的测试目标平台launcher中使用同样的方法去setup并运行简单的测试时碰到问题:测试程序一直挂起没有返回,程序挂起在以下getaActivity()方法(因是公司代码,故以notepad测试代码取代之):
	@Override
	public void setUp() throws Exception {
		//setUp() is run before a test case is started. 
		//This is where the solo object is created.
		super.setUp(); 
		//The variable solo has to be static, since every time after a case's finished, this class TCCreateNote would be re-instantiated
		// which would lead to soto to re-instantiated to be null if it's not set as static
		
		if(solo == null) {		
			NotePadTest.solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(),getActivity());	
		}
	}

当时一直怀疑是否系统launcher的robotium初始化和setup方法跟普通的apk不一样,google上有历史文章描述getActivity()在Android 2.xx.xx上确实有这个问题,但后来的版本已经解决,而本人使用的时当前最的4.4.2,所以不应该还存在这种问题。针对这个思路去尝试找解决办法终无果。

2.问题分析

既然是getActvity()方法出现问题,而该方法原有的bug也已经在最新的版本fixed,在google无所获的情况下也只能剩下分析源码这条路了。因为是自己刚在backbook上搭建的自动化研究平台,为了节省时间,当时没有下载android的相应源码,只有sdk,所以第一步必须是先在项目中配置使用上android的源码,其理与配置javadoc相近,请查看本人之前的一篇文章《How to Configure Javadoc for Robotium Library》,这里不做累术。

加入源码后调试分析,最终程序挂起在android.test.InstrumentationTestCase中的launchActivityWithIntent方法中,以下是eclipse中的调试截图示例:
bubuko.com,布布扣
以下是该方法的完整代码片段:
/**
     * Utility method for launching an activity with a specific Intent.
     * 
     * <p><b>NOTE:</b> The parameter <i>pkg</i> must refer to the package identifier of the
     * package hosting the activity to be launched, which is specified in the AndroidManifest.xml
     * file.  This is not necessarily the same as the java package name.
     *
     * @param pkg The package hosting the activity to be launched.
     * @param activityCls The activity class to launch.
     * @param intent The intent to launch with
     * @return The activity, or null if non launched.
     */
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public final <T extends Activity> T launchActivityWithIntent(
            String pkg,
            Class<T> activityCls,
            Intent intent) {
        intent.setClassName(pkg, activityCls.getName());
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        T activity = (T) getInstrumentation().startActivitySync(intent);
        getInstrumentation().waitForIdleSync();
        return activity;
    }

导致挂起的位置是里面的getInstrumentation().waitForIdleSync()方法,到了这里再代码跟踪进去看到的就是android.app.instrumentation这个基类里面:
    /**
     * Synchronously wait for the application to be idle.  Can not be called
     * from the main application thread -- use {@link #start} to execute
     * instrumentation in its own thread.
     */
    public void waitForIdleSync() {
        validateNotAppThread();
        Idler idler = new Idler(null);
        mMessageQueue.addIdleHandler(idler);
        mThread.getHandler().post(new EmptyRunnable());
        idler.waitForIdle();
    }
这里按照本人的理解做的事情大概如下:
  • 首先确保调用这个方法的来源不是application的主线程
  • 然后把当前等待application变成idle的请求放到消息队列中
  • 最后等待app在处理完所有事件达到idle状态的时候返回
看到这里我幡然领悟,在目标平台上面我们有一个天气预报的功能,在不停的发送事件给application(也就是launcher)来更新当前的天气情况,所以一直没有达到idle的状态,这样这个函数也就一直没有返回而挂起了。而在本人的测试手机上测试的notepad这个apk,一进去的launchable activity就是idle的,所以不会碰到这个问题。

带着这个思路在调整google关键字在stackoverflow中找到了国外同行碰到的一个类似的问题:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20860832/why-does-getactivity-block-during-junit-test-when-custom-imageview-calls-start
这里总结下本人研究过程中了解到的robotium初始化solo的时候new Solo(getInstrumentation(),getActivity())中getActivity所做的事情:
  • 如果目标activity没有起来,那么启动该activity并放在前台
  • 如果目标activity已经起来,那么直接放在前台等待被测试
  • 如果该该activity所属application在自动不停的接受事件,直接调用getActivity会因为一直等待application变成idle状态而挂起

3. 解决方法

本人按照项目中的目标测试launcher的实际情况想到的解决方法是在初始化solo的时候不去调用getActivity()这个InstrumentationTestCase2的方法:
solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation());
因为我们的launcher在robotium在kill掉原来的launcher进程的时候就会自动起来,所以并不需要手动的去getActivity()去启动。这种方法在不能启动起来的apk如notepad上面就不行,不信你去掉getActivity()的调用,保证notepad不会启动或者放到前台。但是如果你在开始测试前先把notepad手动起来并放到前台,测试还是会正常进行的。比如以下的验证性代码:
package com.example.android.notepad.tryout;

import com.robotium.solo.Solo;

import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.app.Activity;

@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public class NotePadTest extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2{

	private static Solo solo = null;
	public Activity activity;
	
	private static final int NUMBER_TOTAL_CASES = 2;
	private static int run = 0;
	
	private static Class<?> launchActivityClass;
	//对应re-sign.jar生成出来的信息框里的两个值
	private static String mainActiviy = "com.example.android.notepad.NotesList";
	private static String packageName = "com.example.android.notepad";

	static {

		try {

			launchActivityClass = Class.forName(mainActiviy);

		} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

			throw new RuntimeException(e);

		}

	}
	
	
	@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	public NotePadTest() {
		super(packageName, launchActivityClass);
	}

	
	@Override
	public void setUp() throws Exception {
		//setUp() is run before a test case is started. 
		//This is where the solo object is created.
		super.setUp(); 
		//The variable solo has to be static, since every time after a case's finished, this class TCCreateNote would be re-instantiated
		// which would lead to soto to re-instantiated to be null if it's not set as static
		//TextView title = (TextView)getActivity().findViewById(Ref.id.title);
		
		if(solo == null) {
			
			NotePadTest.solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation());//, getActivity());
			
		}
	}
	
	@Override
	public void tearDown() throws Exception {
		//Check whether it's the last case executed.
		run += countTestCases();
		if(run >= NUMBER_TOTAL_CASES) {
			solo.finishOpenedActivities();
		}
	}

	public void testAddNoteCNTitle() throws Exception {
		//getActivity();
		Thread.sleep(5000);
		solo.clickOnMenuItem("Add note");
		solo.enterText(0, "中文标签笔记");
		solo.clickOnMenuItem("Save");
		solo.clickInList(0);
		solo.clearEditText(0);
		solo.enterText(0, "Text 1");
		solo.clickOnMenuItem("Save");
		solo.assertCurrentActivity("Expected NotesList Activity", "NotesList");
		
		solo.clickLongOnText("中文标签笔记");
		solo.clickOnText("Delete");
		
		
	}
}
初始化solo的时候和testcase里面都没有去调用getActivity(),但是在testcase开始前先睡眠5秒,如果在这5秒的过程中你手动把notepad给启动起来,那么睡眠时间过后测试会继续正常运行。

刚才stackoverflow上提到的另外一个方法是重写getActivity()这个IntrumentationTestCase2的方法(注意我们所有的robotium测试类都是继承于该class的):
@Override
    public MyActivity getActivity() {
        if (mActivity == null) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(getInstrumentation().getTargetContext(), MyActivity.class);
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            // register activity that need to be monitored.
            monitor = getInstrumentation().addMonitor(MyActivity.class.getName(), null, false);
            getInstrumentation().getTargetContext().startActivity(intent);
            mActivity = (MyActivity) getInstrumentation().waitForMonitor(monitor);
            setActivity(mActivity);
        }
        return mActivity;
    }
鉴于本人现在只是做前期的可行性研究,够用就好,且周末手头上也没有目标机器在手进行验证,所以有兴趣的朋友就自己去尝试下吧,
