I'm writing automated unit tests for an Android application, and I have come across a very odd situation.
The application is carefully constructed to target API8 - API 19 without needing multiple releases. One part of the tests, however, requires that I test a specific class without any internet access or mobile data. I've found a very hacky way to do this, but the solution comes in two parts: one for API 10 and above, and one for API 8 that requires a permission not available to applications targeting >= API 10.
What I want to do is to create two test projects, one that targets API 8 and one that targets everything else. What I want to avoid is duplicating the test files that work across all versions. As far as I can tell, there's only the manifest and a Utils class that needs to be different.
Is there any way to store the tests in a central location, and have them included and ran from both tests?
On Eclipse, create the tests to be shared on one of the projects, as usual.
When you are happy with the test result, go to the other folder and create a new Folder inside:
