Android white box testing

Question

I'm new android testing and for a while I'm using Android test framework to test my code(with the help of ProviderTestCase2, AndroidTestCase, activityinstrumentationtestcase2,etc) I want to know what are other frameworks available as opensource( strictly white box ). I have come across Robotium, Roboelectric, monkeyrunner, Calabash ). Which is used for Unit testing, testing android services? I got an overall idea that above frameworks used for black-box testing(correct me if I'm wrong). For white box testing which is the best test framework?

Answer 1

I prefer robolectric because it can be easily run in PC, and it's quite helpful to test logicals in apps.

Robotium is for ui testing, and it's not worth spending a lot of time writing ui testing code in my opinion, since the ui/requirements are always changing.
