How do I test an android app against a web service

Question

Without calling the webservice. Is there a testing framework/library to mock the responses? Use a fixture for responses?

Here's a simple way to use mock responses http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8788904/what-is-an-easy-way-to-stub-dummy-a-restful-web-service/15243123#15243123 — vokilam, Mar 06 '13 at 09:13

You can test your webservices by downloading the Advance Rest Client plug-ins in your chrome browser.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I want to test the android app. Although Advance Rest Client seems pretty cool – PuercoPop Jan 07 '13 at 04:43

There are several instrumentation frameworks such as Mercury and Instrumentation.

However, for actual network emulation your best bet would be to use a localhost server, for example with WAMP which would let you run PHP locally and emulate the responses.
