In the last chapter, you had a chance to:

  1. Get familiar with the Coding Companion app.
  2. Add tests around the search functionality.
  3. Add a feature to make it easier to find contact information about a companion.

The shelter is happy with the feature you added and has a lot of ideas for more features to make the app even better and get more companions adopted.

Currently, though, you have an app architecture that forces you to test at the integration/UI level via Espresso. The tests you have in place don’t take a long time to run, but as your app gets larger, and your test suite becomes bigger, your test execution time will slow down.

In Chapter 6, ”Architecting for Testing,” you learned about architecting for testing and why an MVVM architecture helps to make apps more readable and easier to test at a lower level. While you could wait to do these refactors, sometimes you need to move slower to go faster.

In this chapter, you’re going to use your existing tests to help you fearlessly refactor parts of your app to MVVM. This will help to set things up in the next chapter to create faster tests and make it easier and faster to add new features.

Getting started

To get started, open the final app from the previous chapter or open the starter app for this chapter. Then, open FindCompanionInstrumentedTest.kt located inside the androidTest source set.

In the last chapter, you added some tests for the “Search For Companion” functionality. You can find this test inside FindCompanionInstrumentedTest.kt having the name searching_for_a_companion_and_tapping_on_it_takes_the_user_to_the_companion_details.

This test does the following:

  1. It starts the app’s main activity, which takes the user to the Random Companion screen; this screen is backed by RandomCompanionFragment.

  1. Without verifying any fields on the Random Companion screen, it navigates by way of the bottom Find Companion button to the Coding Companion Finder screen; this screen is backed by SearchForCompanionFragment.

  1. Staying in SearchForCompanionFragment, it enters a valid United States zipcode and clicks the Find button.

  1. Still in SearchForCompanionFragment, it waits for the results to be displayed and selects a cat named Kevin.

  1. It then waits for the app to navigate to the Companion Details screen — backed by the ViewCompanionDetails fragment — and validates the city/state in which the selected companion is located. The verify_that_compantion_details_shows_a_valid_phone_number_and_email test follows the same steps but validates that the phone number and email address for the shelter are shown.

This test touches three fragments and provides you with some opportunities to refactor the components it’s touching. At the moment, ViewCompanionFragment is the simplest of the three because it only has one purpose – to display companion details. Therefore, you’ll start by refactoring this test.

Adding supplemental coverage before refactoring

You already have some testing around the “Search For Companion” functionality, including ViewCompanionFragment. Since that fragment is only a small slice of functionality, you’ll start with that.

@Test
fun searching_for_a_companion_and_tapping_on_it_takes_the_user_to_the_companion_details() {
  find_and_select_kevin_in_30318()
  onView(withText("Rome, GA")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
}

@Test
fun verify_that_companion_details_shows_a_valid_phone_number_and_email() {
  find_and_select_kevin_in_30318()
  onView(withText("(706) 236-4537"))
    .check(matches(isDisplayed()))
  onView(withText("adoptions@gahomelesspets.com"))
    .check(matches(isDisplayed()))
}
onView(withText("Domestic Short Hair")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
onView(withText("Young")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
onView(withText("Female")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
onView(withText("Medium")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
onView(withText("Meet KEVIN")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
@Test
fun searching_for_a_companion_and_tapping_on_it_takes_the_user_to_the_companion_details() {
  find_and_select_kevin_in_30318()
  onView(withText("Rome, GA")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
  onView(withText("Domestic Short Hair")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
  onView(withText("Young")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
  onView(withText("Female")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
  onView(withText("Medium")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
  onView(withText("Meet KEVIN")).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
}

Refactoring for testability

With Espresso tests, you’ll often run into a scenario where you have a matcher for an element that ends up matching more than one element in the view hierarchy. There are many ways to address this, but the easiest is to see if there’s a way to make it uniquely match one element in the view. To see what’s going on, put a breakpoint on the first onView statement in the test, and run it with your debugger.

Your first focused refactor

Now that you have proper test coverage around ViewCompanionFragment, it’s time to refactor it. To get started, open the app level build.gradle and add the following to the dependencies section:

kapt "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:$lifecycle_version"
dataBinding {

Your next refactor

Swapping manual view binding for data binding in the ViewCompanionFragment was a relatively simple refactor. Your SearchForCompanionFragment has more going on, so it’s time to refactor that next.

Adding test coverage

Just like you did with the ViewCompanionFragment test, you want to make ensure that you have enough test coverage for the SearchForCompanionFragment.

Refactoring SearchForCompanionFragment

Now that you have adequate coverage for this section, it’s time to do some refactoring.

Insert Koin

Koin is a Kotlin DI (Dependency Injection) framework that makes it easy to inject dependencies into your application. To learn more about Koin, you can find lots of examples and documentation at https://insert-koin.io/.

Challenge

Challenge: Refactor and addition

  • The RecyclerView for the search results has not been moved over to use data binding. Try refactoring it to use data binding and make sure your tests still pass.
  • Try adding a new feature with an Espresso test and then refactor it.

Key points

  • Make sure your tests cover everything that you’re changing.
  • Sometimes, you’ll need to refactor your code to make it more testable.
  • Some refactors require changes to your tests.
  • Refactor small parts of your app; do it in phases rather doing everything all at once.
  • DI provides a cleaner way to add test dependencies.
  • Keep your tests green.
  • Move slow to go fast.

Where to go from here?

You’ve done a lot of work in this chapter to set yourself up to go fast. Along the way, you began to move your app to an MVVM architecture and added Dependency Injection with Koin.
