Overview

Hi everyone 👋🏼​
In this article, I'm going to look at seven OSS repository that you should know written in Java, interesting projects that caught my attention and that I want to share.
Let's start 🤙🏼​


1. Robolectric

Robolectric is a unit testing framework for Android. Your tests run in a simulated Android environment inside a JVM, without the overhead and flakiness of an emulator. It tests routinely run 10x faster than those on cold-started emulators 😈

Build Status GitHub release

Robolectric is the industry-standard unit testing framework for Android. With Robolectric, your tests run in a simulated Android environment inside a JVM, without the overhead and flakiness of an emulator. Robolectric tests routinely run 10x faster than those on cold-started emulators.

Robolectric supports running unit tests for 14 different versions of Android, ranging from Lollipop (API level 21) to U (API level 34).

Usage

Here's an example of a simple test written using Robolectric:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class MyActivityTest {
  @Test
  public void clickingButton_shouldChangeResultsViewText() {
    Activity activity = Robolectric.setupActivity(MyActivity.class);

    Button button = (Button) activity.findViewById(R.id.press_me_button);
    TextView results = (TextView) activity.findViewById(R.id.results_text_view);

    button.performClick();
    assertThat(results.getText().toString(), equalTo("Testing
