Synchronization in Robotium

Question

How long does robotium wait for a new activity to show up? Is it possible to set the timeout manually for the Solo instance?

Answer 1

What do you want that timeout for?

If you want to wait for the new activity to show up, you can use:

getInstrumentation().waitForIdleSync();

But since you are using Robotium I guess they already do that for you.

Answer 2

If you not specify timeout manually, method solo.waitForActivity() will have default timeout 10 seconds. Because Robotium is open source project you can look it yourself by opening source code / class Waiter.
