How do you get hold of an Android Context for a Junit test from a Java Project?

Question

I need to access and Android context for a JUnit Test.

I have tried using MockContext and extending the AndroidTestCase but each time I get an error saying (stub!)

Answer 1

Each Activity is a subclass of Context, so you must use your Activities when you need Context. The class Context is not something you instantiate from an application.

Answer 2

What about using AndroidTestCase instead of a JUnit test? AndroidTestCase will provide a Context with getContext() that can be used where it's needed.
