Basically in my WalletApplication.java file, it is getting failed in onCreate() method, while fetching string resource using getString() method of Context class.

Test file code is:

Robolectric version: 3.0
Android studio: 2.3.3
Gradle: 2.1.3

@vp2601 please, follow these steps to make sure you have all set to run the tests

1. include this into your module build gradle file

android {
 testOptions.unitTests.includeAndroidResources true
}

1. add android.enableAapt2=false into gradle.properties..

2. and make sure to use the latest AGP plugin version

i guess it should all be fine now...

leocabral@ this seems like it could be a different issue. From the bug report older versions of AS Studio and gradle are being used.

@vp2601 could you please provide a sample project that reproduces this issue?
