name	trail-sense-android-tests
description	Add UI automation tests to Trail-Sense Android app using AutomationLibrary. Use when asked to create, add, write, or implement automated tests, UI tests, integration tests, or androidTests for Trail Sense tools. Covers test class structure, AutomationLibrary functions, and testing patterns.

Trail Sense Android Tests

Create UI automation tests for Trail Sense tools using AutomationLibrary and ToolTestBase.

Test Structure

Selection Strategy: Text Over IDs

Prefer text-based selection for most interactions. Use IDs only when necessary.

Use Text For

// Clicking tabs, buttons, menu items, options
click(string(R.string.distance))
click(string(R.string.delete))
click("High")
click("Test Group")

// Verifying text anywhere on screen
hasText(string(R.string.no_paths))
hasText("Test Path")

// Dialog inputs (by label/hint)
input(string(R.string.name), "My Item")
input(string(R.string.distance), "1.0")

// Checkbox state by label
isChecked(string(R.string.tide_clock))

Use IDs Only For

// Title bars (for verification)
hasText(R.id.paths_title, string(R.string.paths))
hasText(R.id.tide_title, "Tide 1")

// Add/play buttons (no text label)
click(R.id.add_btn)
click(R.id.play_btn)

// Specific input fields
input(R.id.searchbox, "query")
input(R.id.tide_name, "Tide 1")
input(R.id.utm, "42, -72")

// Result/data views
hasText(R.id.result, "3.2808 ft")
hasText(R.id.total_percent_packed, "50% packed")

// Charts and special views
isVisible(R.id.chart)
scrollToEnd(R.id.scroll_view)

// Toolbar buttons
click(toolbarButton(R.id.paths_title, Side.Right))

Andromeda List Item IDs

List items use Andromeda library IDs:

click(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.title)
hasText(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.title, "Item Name")
hasText(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.description, "Details")
click(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.checkbox)
click(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.trailing_icon_btn)
click(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.menu_btn)

Common Patterns

Create/Edit/Delete Flow

private fun canCreateItem() {
    click(R.id.add_btn)
    click(string(R.string.new_item))
    input(string(R.string.name), "Test Item")
    clickOk()
    hasText("Test Item")
}

private fun canEditItem() {
    clickListItemMenu(string(R.string.edit))
    input("Test Item", "Test Item 2")
    clickOk()
    hasText("Test Item 2")
}

private fun canDeleteItem() {
    clickListItemMenu(string(R.string.delete))
    clickOk()
    not { hasText("Test Item 2", waitForTime = 0) }
}

Toolbar Menu

click(toolbarButton(R.id.title, Side.Right))
click(string(R.string.export))

Quick Actions

private fun verifyQuickAction() {
    TestUtils.openQuickActions()
    click(quickAction(Tools.QUICK_ACTION_ID))
    // Verify action occurred
    TestUtils.closeQuickActions()
}

Optional Elements

optional {
    hasText(string(R.string.disclaimer))
    clickOk()
}

Navigate Back

backUntil { isVisible(R.id.paths_title, waitForTime = 1000) }

Key Functions

Function	Usage
click(text)	Click by text (contains match)
click(text, exact = true)	Click by exact text
click(R.id.x)	Click by ID
hasText(text)	Verify text on screen
hasText(R.id.x, text)	Verify text in view
hasText(R.id.x, Regex(...))	Verify regex pattern
input(R.id.x, text)	Enter text by ID
input(label, text)	Enter text by label
clickOk()	Click OK in dialogs
clickListItemMenu(label)	Click list item overflow menu
optional { }	Ignore failures
not { }	Assert action fails
string(R.string.x)	Get string resource
scrollUntil { }	Scroll until condition
backUntil { }	Press back until condition

Running Tests

./scripts/emulator-integration-tests.sh
./scripts/emulator-integration-tests.sh com.kylecorry.trail_sense.tools.notes.ToolNotesTest 180

The script defaults to a 1800 second timeout. Most individual integration tests should finish in 60 to 180 seconds, so pass a shorter timeout for focused runs when practical.
