Question

Does anyone know how to access JUnit’s own project res/ folder compiled R instance when extending from ServiceTestCase?

The usual way does not work:

getInstrumentation().getContext().getResources()...

Because it turns out ServiceTestCase does not have a getInstrumentation() since it does not extend InstrumentationTestCase method.

Thanks in advance.

This hack works from my ServiceTestCase subclass:

Context context = getContext().createPackageContext(this.getClass().getPackage().getName(),
                   Context.CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY);
context.getResources()...

Although a more standard way to this is welcome.
