To verify that a {@link android.content.BroadcastReceiver} responds correctly, you can test the component that sends it an {@link android.content.Intent} object. Alternatively, you can create an instance of your {@link android.content.BroadcastReceiver} by calling <a href="{@docRoot}reference/android/support/test/InstrumentationRegistry.html#getContext()"> {@code InstrumentationRegistry.getTargetContext()}</a>, then call the {@link android.content.BroadcastReceiver} method that you want to test (usually, this is the {@link android.content.BroadcastReceiver#onReceive(android.content.Context, android.content.Intent) onReceive()} method).</p> <p>This class teaches you to build automated integration tests using the testing APIs and tools that the Android platform provides.</p> <h2>Lessons</h2> <dl> <dt><strong><a href="service-testing.html"> Testing Your Service</a></strong></dt> <dd>Learn how to build integration tests to verify that a service works correctly with your app.</dd> <dt><strong><a href="content-provider-testing.html"> Testing Your Content Provider</a></strong></dt> <dd>Learn how to build integration tests to verify that a content provider works correctly with your app.</dd> </dl>
