How to run integration tests for a mavenised Android application?

I want to run some tests, which check, for example that activity A puts some piece of information into the intent, when it starts activity B.

Those tests require that there is Android infrastructure.

How can I implement them so that they can be run using Maven?

I tried

  1. to use akquinet archetype for this and use a separate Mave project for integration tests, but it never worked (my Robolectric test is not exeuted) and
  2. to run them in the same Maven project as the main app, which result in ClassNotFoundErrors caused by Robolectric (when I add Roboelectric to the dependencies, I can't mvn install my project because I get classpath-related errors for non-Robolectric classes).

This project integrates a lot of testing tools as well as code quality tools: https://github.com/stephanenicolas/Quality-Tools-for-Android

I wrote a bash script that generates a mavenized android project with robolectric, spoon and robotium configured: https://github.com/marsucsb/mvn-android-project

Do checkout Github Android App source code. https://github.com/github/android

This project has a very good maven setup with integration-tests. They use Roboguice and maven-android-plugin

Hope it helps.
