Going to another Activity in Robotium

Question

I'm new to Robotium and Android testing, lately I tested iOS apps. Now I am testing Android application, and on the first Activity I enter email and password, so when it is done, I press the Enter button on the keyboard and the next activity should appear. How can I implement it in my test? I have this in the beginnihg of test:

    EditText etEnterEmail = (EditText) solo.getView(R.id.EditText01);
    solo.clearEditText(etEnterEmail);
    solo.enterText(etEnterEmail, "anna@gmail.com");

    EditText etEnterPassword = (EditText) solo.getView(R.id.editText2);
    solo.clearEditText(etEnterPassword);
    solo.enterText(etEnterPassword, "qwerty123");

How can I press the button Enter? When the test is running the keyboard doesn't even appear, strings are just appearing in EditTexts. Plase help me! I'm desperate!

You can send it via

solo.sendKey(Solo.ENTER);

After that you can check whether your Activity is being displayed by asserting:

assertTrue(solo.waitForActivity(expectedClass.getSimpleName()));

I tried that, no reaction... Test stops and application closes, the next activity still doesn't appear... Maybe smth I should import? – Ann Apr 05 '12 at 12:02
I have added the code you want to add in order to wait for your expected activity to my answer above. – Ben Weiss Apr 05 '12 at 12:06
This means your activity is not being displayed within the default waiting time. – Ben Weiss Apr 05 '12 at 12:30
Is it normal that during the test(when EditTexts are compliting) the keyboard is not shown? Maybe that's why it can't press on Enter? Cause it doesn'f see it? – Ann Apr 05 '12 at 13:31
I found a solution. solo.clickOnView(etEnterPassword); solo.sendKey(Solo.ENTER); Thanks anyway! It's great that there are people who care! – Ann Apr 05 '12 at 13:51

if the keyboard doesn't show maybe try solo.TypeText()

tty if this code works for you:

EditText etEnterEmail = (EditText) solo.getView(R.id.EditText01);
solo.clearEditText(etEnterEmail);
solo.TypeText(etEnterEmail, "anna@gmail.com");

EditText etEnterPassword = (EditText) solo.getView(R.id.editText2);
solo.clearEditText(etEnterPassword);
solo.TypeText(etEnterPassword, "qwerty123");
solo.senkey(solo.ENTER);
solo.assertCurrentActivity("check for activity", your_activity.class) //your_activity ex: MainActivity,...
