ActivityUnitTestCase and Google Maps Android API v2

Question

I have an Android project that uses external library project for Google Maps Android API v2 ( google-play-services_lib ).

I also have testing project, which tests my project form first point.

package third.task.android.test;

import third.task.android.CompassActivity;
import third.task.android.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.test.ActivityUnitTestCase;

public class CompassActivityTest extends ActivityUnitTestCase<CompassActivity> {

    public CompassActivityTest() {
        super(CompassActivity.class);
    }

    public void testTruth() {
        assertTrue(true);
    }

    public void testPreConditions() {
        startActivity(new Intent(getInstrumentation().getTargetContext(), CompassActivity.class), null, null);
        Activity activity = getActivity();
        assertNull(activity.findViewById(R.id.compasRadar));
    }
}

Here is my failure trace, which actually shows error about loading class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"

When I remove code responsible for displaying map in layout and also map-dependent code snippets, everything works fine, but I have to test my application with full functionality including maps. Is there any way to do this?

How about ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 ? There is no need to start activity, you can simple use getActivity() . If you need to use custom start intent you can specify it using setActivityIntent(i) in setUp() . I have tested its work:

package com.grt_team.airplanemode.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;

import com.grt_team.airplanemode.MainActivity;
import com.grt_team.airplanemode.R;

public class Test extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<MainActivity> {

    public Test() {
        super(MainActivity.class);
    }

    public void testTruth() {
        assertTrue(true);
    }

    @Override
    protected void setUp() throws Exception {
        super.setUp();
        //setActivityIntent(i);
    }

    public void testPreConditions() {
        Activity activity = getActivity();

        assertNotNull(activity);
        assertNull(activity.findViewById(0));
        assertNotNull(activity.findViewById(R.id.map_fragment));
    }

}
