How We Develop Mobile Applications - Pt 2 - Android
Now that you know what your mobile application will do and look like, it’s time to get your various environments set up. Here’s our list of things we check off at Collective Idea for creating an Android app.
How We Develop Mobile Applications
Developing a mobile application that works on both iOS and Android takes a bit of work. Here are some best practices to get you going.
Retrofitting Espresso
You don’t need an IdlingResource, and sleep() is fickle. Make Espresso wait for your observables running on background schedulers with this one cool trick!
Your User Can’t Click Your Floating Action Button
An easy way to make your Android app’s main action more accessible for people using screen readers.
Stubbing your Android Intents
When we stub an intent, we are able to intercept it so the intent is never sent to the system, and specify how it should respond. This can be helpful in your Android tests when you need to know if an intent was sent, but you don’t actually need the Activity to start. This can be accomplished by using espresso-intents.
