Difference between ActivityUnitTestCase and ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2

I am new to Android Instrumentation cases. i have been looking at the API samples and see that sometimes we use ActivityUnitTestCase and the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2. What is the difference between the two ? When would we use one over the other ?

See the difference discussed here: http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidTesting/article.html#activity_testing

Key points:

  • ActivityUnitTestCase can be used for testing layout and isolated methods.
  • ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 can be used when you want to send touch/mouse events and to test state management.
