Good book to start but it does not have substantial code in it for absolute beginners to understand.And the testing Framework used in this book is currently deprecated.

I bought this book hoping that I could apply some android testing techniques to some of the apps that I build for work. What I found is a book that , perhaps to no fault of the authors, hasn't caught up with Google's perpetually ( and nauseatingly ) changing Gradle infrastructure combined with AndroidStudio. So, what happens is that when you try to download their samples off of Packet Publishing is that you get source code that barely works. For instance, a number of their example JUnit tests completely fail because permissions weren't set correctly in an AndroidManifest file . This isn't really entirely the authors' fault because Google has been screwing with this for the last 5 years or so. But there are other issues as well. The book doesn't give you good instruction on how to set up any of the advanced testing they are doing by way of Android Studio. As anyone who is doing Android programming, Android Studio is considered both the solution and cause of every problem related to Android . Hence, if you write a book explaining how to do something with Android and you don't provide some examples that show you how to say enable permissions for a Junit test for modifying bookmars from within Android Studio, you are doing your readers a disservice.I found that the book just mentions a bunch of types of tests you can use , something you could learn from any other book on testing software, but offers no real good or working examples of how to use those techniques to test the Android UI or an App's services...etc.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
