I have some Test which I would like to run with Robolectric, I use the 2.3-SNAPSHOT as my APP uses the ActionbarCompat i needed to use 2.3-SNAPSHOT Version as Robolectric could not find the AppCompat Themes before. So I setup the Classpath in Eclipse and I end up with this:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Robolectric does not support API level 9, sorry!

The Manifest of my Test Project is like this:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.vendor.test" 
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
      <application>
           <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />
      </application>
      <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
      <instrumentation android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
       android:targetPackage="com.vendor" />
</manifest>

I complains always about the API Level, no matter what i use.

Anyone got this working ?

Update: The annotation is now @Config(sdk = 18) (or @Config(sdk = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)) and the properties file mentioned in link is now robolectric.properties.

Original Answer: You can use the @Config annotation to have Robolectric emulate an SDK version. You can put this :

import org.robolectric.annotation.Config;

@Config(emulateSdk = 18) // now @Config(sdk = 18) as of Robolectric 3.0
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class SomeTest ...

This is also possible using a file as mentioned here

Not sure what it means for your KitKat specific tests but at least the others should work.

    It works for me it, is not critical right now to be on API 18. Thanks! – Kitesurfer Jan 20 '14 at 09:37
  • thanks! is there a way to set that globally? I do not want to set ( and later hopefully unset ) this at each test – ligi May 21 '14 at 18:10
  • Yep. According to the link I put in there, an `org.robolectric.Config.properties` file should do that for your entire project. – Saad Farooq May 21 '14 at 18:30
  • Is there any way to do this on a test level instead of a class level? I have behavior in a class that changes based on the API level and would like to test it. – karl Jul 02 '14 at 19:48
  • Good point... maybe you can create a new question or create an issue on Robolectric – Saad Farooq Jul 02 '14 at 19:49
  • Try reading this article and see if it is what you're looking for (if it's still a question after this much time). It helped me in a situation I was experiencing. http://nenick-android.blogspot.de/2015/02/android-studio-110-beta-4-and.html – TheIcemanCometh Feb 25 '15 at 12:12
  • Thanks for the tip, this is mine `@RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class) @Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 16)` – Lunf Jul 22 '15 at 07:36

    `@Config(emulateSdk = 18)` will no longer work. It needs to be `@Config(sdk = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)`, etc – Tash Pemhiwa Apr 26 '16 at 08:56

In case people like me, still visiting the link for the similar error,

@Config(emulateSdk = ) is not working now. Its changed to sdk--
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk=21)

For me, I was getting error with target version 22, 

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Robolectric does not support API level 22

and so I emulated it to 21.

    Thanks! How did you discover this please? I haven't been able to find it documented anywhere. I'm having other similar problems upgrading from 3.0-rc2 to 3.0, and I feel surely they must be documented somewhere...! – Mark Smith Sep 01 '15 at 09:23
  • even I was banging my head.Here is a quick wiki refernce, may be useful to you :-) https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/wiki/2.4-to-3.0-Upgrade-Guide – Nicks Sep 01 '15 at 09:33

According to SdkConfig.java, Roboelectric only supports the following versions / API levels:

SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN, new SdkVersion("4.1.2_r1", "0"));
SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1, new SdkVersion("4.2.2_r1.2", "0"));
SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2, new SdkVersion("4.3_r2", "0"));
SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT, new SdkVersion("4.4_r1", "0"));
SUPPORTED_APIS.put(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP, new SdkVersion("5.0.0_r2", "0"));

Are you sure you have tried those?
