This is a super simple plugin to be used in combination with the new unit testing feature of the Gradle Plugin / Android Studio. ( http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/unit-testing-support )

It tries to solve the problem that you have to mock each and every Android SDK class (even SparseArray, TextUtils etc.) by allowing you to use selected classes from a real Android-Jarfile.

Available on jcenter:

Add the plugin to your buildscript dependencies and make sure to use the jcenter repository:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    
    dependencies {
        classpath 'de.mobilej.unmock:UnMockPlugin:0.6.0'
    }
}

And this to the module's build script:

apply plugin: 'de.mobilej.unmock'

Additionally you have to configure which classes to use and where to get the real Android.jar from. e.g:

unMock {
    keep "android.widget.BaseAdapter"
    keep "android.widget.ArrayAdapter"
    keep "android.os.Bundle"
    keepStartingWith "android.database.MatrixCursor"
    keep "android.database.AbstractCursor"
    keep "android.database.CrossProcessCursor"
    keepStartingWith "android.text.TextUtils"
    keepStartingWith "android.util."
    keepStartingWith "android.text."
    keepStartingWith "android.content.ContentValues"
    keepStartingWith "android.content.ComponentName"
    keepStartingWith "android.content.ContentUris"
    keepStartingWith "android.content.ContentProviderOperation"
    keepStartingWith "android.content.ContentProviderResult"
    keepStartingWith "android.content.UriMatcher"
    keepStartingWith "android.content.Intent"
    keep "android.location.Location"
    keepStartingWith "android.content.res.Configuration"
    keepStartingWith "org."
    keepStartingWith "libcore."
    keepStartingWith "com.android.internal.R"
    keepStartingWith "com.android.internal.util."
    keep "android.net.Uri"

    keepAndRename "java.nio.charset.Charsets" to "xjava.nio.charset.Charsets"
}

dependencies {
    // dependency to android-all to use
    unmock 'org.robolectric:android-all:4.3_r2-robolectric-0'
}

That's it!

Have a look at the example contained in this repository for more details.

Starting from version 0.3.5 you can leave out the configuration closure which will result using defaults (which are shown in the example above).

downloadFrom is now optional. If not given it will use 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/org/robolectric/android-all/4.3_r2-robolectric-0/android-all-4.3_r2-robolectric-0.jar'

If you use any of the keep statements the default configuration will be cleared. (So your own configuration is not adding but replaces the default).

By default the android-all file is downloaded to the system's temporary folder. Some systems purge the temp folder on reboot. In most cases this should be no issue but on unreliable or slow internet conections this might be inconvenient. In that case you could download the android-all file yourself and specify a file:///<path>/<file> url or you can specify a directory to place the downloaded file by specifying to after the url in downloadFrom, e.g. downloadFrom 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/org/robolectric/android-all/4.3_r2-robolectric-0/android-all-4.3_r2-robolectric-0.jar' to '/yourdirectory_to_download_to'

As of 0.6.0 you should prefer to use a dependency for the android-all.jar
