Additional Information:
To clarify, the app under test uses a ContentProvider to access the database.
Edit:
If anyone is willing and able to help me debug this. The full project is available here. In the issue107-contentprovider branch, BaseballCardListAddCardsTest.
Question:
When I run two of my Android JUnit tests separately, they pass just fine. However, when I run them together, the first one passes and the second one fails. The problem appears to be that the first test run adds a row to the underlying database. tearDown() correctly deletes the database, but the second test still starts with the dirty data displayed in the ListView although the database does not contain the extra row. (I confirmed this using adb shell.) Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this problem?
The Activity class being tested can be found here.
Here is my test code:
/**
* Tests for the {@link BaseballCardList} activity when the database contains
* data.
*/
public class BaseballCardListWithDataTest extends
ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<BaseballCardList> {
/**
* Create instrumented test cases for {@link BaseballCardList}.
*/
public BaseballCardListWithDataTest() {
super(BaseballCardList.class);
}
/**
* Set up test fixture. This consists of an instance of the
* {@link BaseballCardList} activity, its {@link ListView}, and a populated
* database.
*
* @throws Exception
* If an error occurs while chaining to the super class.
*/
@Override

super.setUp();
this.inst = this.getInstrumentation();
// Create the database and populate table with test data
InputStream cardInputStream = this.inst.getContext().getAssets()
.open(BBCTTestUtil.CARD_DATA);
BaseballCardCsvFileReader cardInput = new BaseballCardCsvFileReader(
cardInputStream, true);
this.allCards = cardInput.getAllBaseballCards();
cardInput.close();
this.dbUtil = new DatabaseUtil(this.inst.getTargetContext());
this.dbUtil.populateTable(this.allCards);
// Start Activity
this.activity = this.getActivity();
