Realistic SQLite/Room db Testing in Android with Robolectric: Android Unit Testing - Part 17

In this video, we explore how to test SQLite databases in Android using the Robolectric framework. While in-memory databases are fast, they don't simulate the real behavior of SQLite. Robolectric helps bridge that gap by offering a more realistic testing environment for your Room database implementation. We walk through setting up dependencies, creating test cases, and ensuring synchronous execution using InstantTaskExecutorRule.

You'll also see how to write unit tests for insert, read, and update operations on a Room database using Robolectric.
