I wanted to see if it was possible to use TDD with Android application development. Thanks to Robotium, I've had great initial success. One of the issues I ran into was how to use the camera during my smoke tests. Using information learned from the Robtium mailing list, I created a fake camera application that will allow you to effectively mock out the camera during your tests. I'm quite sure you could apply this pattern to other types of Intents as well. The FakeCamera app's source lives at https://github.com/bryanl/FakeCamera, and you can see a video demonstration of TDD in Android at http://bit.ly/android-tdd-1. I'm looking for feedback on my approach and what others might be doing as well.
