How to Deliver Parameters to a Test Function, That Launched Using Adb Shell Am Instrumentation Command

How to pass an argument to an AndroidTestCase?

Found a solution.

I made my test-runner inherit from InstrumentationTestRunner and took the extra data in onCreate():

public class MyTestRunner extends InstrumentationTestRunner {

    public static String BAR;

    public void onCreate(Bundle arguments) {

        if (null != arguments) {    
            BAR = (String) arguments.get("foo"));
        }    
        super.onCreate(arguments);
    }
}

I added to Android.mk:

LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES := android.test.runner

And to AndroidManifest.xml:

<instrumentation 
    android:name="com.example.MyTestRunner"
    android:targetPackage="com.example" />

Ran it using this command line:

adb shell am instrument -w -e foo the_value_of_bar com.example/com.example.MyTestRunner

I was able to get the 'foo' parameter from the command line and use BAR in my AndroidTestCase.

Run Junit test using android instrumentation on a package with classes in specific order

I finally got it to work using the following command :

adb shell am instrument -e class com.android.foo.LaunchTest -w com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

Start Android activity from command line with extra

The right command should be

adb shell am start -n com.example.mike.app/.SimpleActivity --es "Message" "hello!"

with -n....
