Package org.robolectric.pluginapi

Extension points for customizing Robolectric.

Robolectric has many components which can be customized or replaced using an extension mechanism based on Java Services.

Historically, customizing Robolectric required subclassing RobolectricTestRunner to override behavior at various ad-hoc extension points. This mechanism is now deprecated. The Plugin API provides a number of well documented and supported extension points allowing you to customize behavior for your organization's needs.

The interfaces listed below can be implemented with customizations suitable for your organization. To make your custom implementation visible to Robolectric, publish it as a service and include it in the test classpath.
