Basic sample for ServiceTestRule
This rule provides a simplified mechanism to start and shutdown your service before and after the duration of your test. It also guarantees that the service is successfully connected when starting (or binding to) a service. The service can be started (or bound) using one of the helper methods. It will automatically be stopped (or unbound) after the test completes and any methods annotated with @After are finished.
Note: This rule doesn't support IntentService because it's automatically destroyed when
IntentService#onHandleIntent(android.content.Intent)
finishes all outstanding commands. So there is no guarantee to establish a successful connection in a timely manner.
This project uses the Gradle build system. You don't need an IDE to build and execute it but Android Studio is recommended.
