You can access your app's resources via your Application instance. Use ApplicationProvider to fetch it from within a unit test:

// replace 'Application' with your actual class if you use a custom one
ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext<Application>().resources

Ensure includeAndroidResources is set to true in your build.gradle or your unit tests won't see your resources:

android {
    testOptions.unitTests.includeAndroidResources true
}

I have done this as :

int resourceId = Robolectric.getShadowApplication().getResources()
                 .getIdentifier("myaudio","raw", Robolectric.getShadowApplication().getPackageName()); 

if (resourceId != 0) {  // Raw folder contains resource.
    assertTrue(true);
} else {                // Raw folder doesn't contain resource.
    assertTrue(false);
}

Hope this help...!! Thanks..!!
