When Activity loads completely with Monkeyrunner

Question

My app has an activity which loads some images from server. So, naturally it takes some time to load the activity completely, as it is fetching images from server.

I need to know when the activity loads completely from Monkeyrunner. And if it creates Error when fetching images from server, how I can know about this Error from Monkeryrunner.

Please advise me.

Answer 1

This would not be exactly the same as your app but you'll get the idea. The solution is based on AndroidViewClient/culebra.

I'm using the Progress dialog example from API Demos so it will be easily reproducible by anyone.

When you press API Demos -> App/Alert Dialogs you obtain

then you can run culebra to automatically generate a test script

$ culebra -VC -t on -r -o myscript.py

edit the script to remove the unneeded Views and loop while progress is being incremented

# generated script lines removed for clarity
while True:
    vc.dump(window='-1')
    no_id15 = vc.findViewWithTextOrRaise(re.compile('\d+/100'))
    print no_id15.getText()

the output would be
