How to check that activity displays dialog during android unit testing

Question

I want to write testcases for my android application using JUnit. And I faced some problems.

Is it possible to check that activity displays some dialog at current moment? Here is a small piece of my test application:

    ...
    Instrumentation instr = getInstrumentation();
    monitor = instr.addMonitor(MainActivity.class.getName(), null, false);
    /* Click on login button */
    TouchUtils.clickView(this, mLoginButton);
    /* wait MainActivity */
    mMainActivity = instr.waitForMonitorWithTimeout(monitor, 3);
    assertNotNull(mMainActivity); 
    /* Here a want to check that progress dialog displayed on mMainActivity */

Thanks in advance!

Take a look at Robotium
'a open-source test framework created to make automatic black-box testing of Android applications significantly faster and easier than what is possible with Android instrumentation tests out-of-the-box.'
