**This class was deprecated in API level 24.** New tests should be written using the[Android Testing Support Library](https://developer.android.com/tools/testing-support-library). This is common code used to support Activity test cases.

## Protected methods ### getActivity Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected Activity getActivity () ```

| Returns || |--------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| | [Activity](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity) | Returns the activity under test.
| ### scrubClass Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void scrubClass (Class testCaseClass) ``` This function is called by various TestCase implementations, at tearDown() time, in order to scrub out any class variables. This protects against memory leaks in the case where a test case creates a non-static inner class (thus referencing the test case) and gives it to someone else to hold onto.
| Parameters || |-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------| | `testCaseClass` | `Class`: The class of the derived TestCase implementation.
| | Throws || |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------| | | java.lang.IllegalAccessException | | [IllegalAccessException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalAccessException) | | ### setActivity Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` protected void setActivity (Activity testActivity) ``` Set the activity under test.
| Parameters || |----------------|--------------------------------------------| | `testActivity` | `Activity`: The activity under test
