/**
 * This class provides isolated testing of a single activity.  The activity under test will
 * be created with minimal connection to the system infrastructure, and you can inject mocked or 
 * wrappered versions of many of Activity's dependencies.  Most of the work is handled
 * automatically here by {@link #setUp} and {@link #tearDown}.
 * 
 * <p>If you prefer a functional test, see {@link android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase}.
 * 
 * <p>It must be noted that, as a true unit test, your Activity will not be running in the
 * normal system and will not participate in the normal interactions with other Activities.  
 * The following methods should not be called in this configuration - most of them will throw
 * exceptions:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#createPendingResult(int, Intent, int)}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#startActivityIfNeeded(Intent, int)}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#startActivityFromChild(Activity, Intent, int)}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#startNextMatchingActivity(Intent)}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#getCallingActivity()}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#getCallingPackage()}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#createPendingResult(int, Intent, int)}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#getTaskId()}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#isTaskRoot()}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#moveTaskToBack(boolean)}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#setPersistent(boolean)}
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <p>The following methods may be called but will not do anything.  For test purposes, you can use 
 * the methods {@link #getStartedActivityIntent()} and {@link #getStartedActivityRequest()} to 
 * inspect the parameters that they were called with.
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#startActivity(Intent)}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#startActivityForResult(Intent, int)}
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>The following methods may be called but will not do anything.  For test purposes, you can use 
 * the methods {@link #isFinishCalled()} and {@link #getFinishedActivityRequest()} to inspect the 
 * parameters that they were called with.
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#finish()}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#finishFromChild(Activity child)}
 * <li>{@link android.app.Activity#finishActivity(int requestCode)}
 * </ul>
