Mocking my sqlite database

I am junit testing portions of my android app. I'm new to Android and my team is new to unit testing. (Sigh!!!)

So I want to grab our custom database adapter, and replace the Sqlite Database with a mocked one created using jmockit.

When I try this, it all looks good, but when I run it, I get:

I don't know where to go from here. I tried searching for mocking sqlite, but didn't get far.

Solution

  • I ended up using robolectric from http://robolectric.org/ to provide my database class and let me move forward on this.
