How can Solo work when using in external class

[renas]

From entrang2...@gmail.com on December 14, 2010 01:59:01

Create a common class such as "common.java" with using solo to do something.

In the test case class there is a test case with call a method which using solo from the "common.java" class.

However, it does not work when running this test because it's does not recognize the solo.

Please help me to solve this problem.
It's appreciate if there is any example.

Thank so much.

u should pass the solo object or u have to create solo object in your Common.java

Example:

tescase.java has your test method

msolo = Solo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());

test1() {
Common.clickontext(solo,text);
}

Common.java should contain.

public static void clickontext(Solo solo,String text) {
solo.clickOnText(text);
}

I did write my tests as suggested by Anand. In the above scenario let's say I have created a bunch of methods in Common.java and also I created multiple classes similar to Common.java which provide different reusable functionality.
Each time I invoke a method in Common.java or other classes I am passing solo object(from testcase.java), instead is there a way to create a solo object in Common.java.
Anand did mention that this can be done but an example/suggestion would be great.
