I'm a big fan of TDD and the way android testing is done does not help me much. However... Thanks to Robolectric, headless testing is now possible by leveraging gradle. I wrote this post as a result of trying out several different approaches that confused me. Hopefully this one will help you set it up better. How?

Then, come this approach called Model - View - Presenter (MVP). MVP aims at separating concerns. The three components involved handles different concerns: Model This component groups all data related concerns. This component handles data que
