restart app and follow the same steps Robotium - robotium

Question

I am learning to use robotium and I am trying to relaunch the application and do the same steps 5 time. I know to put for loop, but how do I relaunch application? I was using robotium recorder to do some of it, but it's easier to edit the script manually instead of recording again so I am trying to figure this out.
import com.robotium.solo.*;
import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;
#SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public class explore extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 {
private Solo solo;
private static final String LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME = "com.application.calc.android.main.CGabboMainActivity";
private static Class<?> launcherActivityClass;
static{
try {
launcherActivityClass = Class.forName(LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public explore() throws ClassNotFoundException {
super(launcherActivityClass);
}
public void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation());
getActivity();
}
#Override
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
solo.finishOpenedActivities();
super.tearDown();
}
public void testRun() {
// Wait for activity: 'com.application.calc.android.main.CGabboMainActivity';
solo.waitForActivity("CGabboMainActivity", 2000);
// Sleep for 10211 milliseconds
solo.sleep(5000);
// Click on source_internet_radio
solo.clickOnWebElement(By.id("handle_name"));
//Sleep for 5697 milliseconds
solo.clickOnWebElement(By.id("source_help"));
solo.clickOnWebElement(By.id("nav_item_1"));
//solo.finishOpenedActivities();
//solo.waitForActivity("CGabboMainActivity", 2000);
//this.launchActivity(LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME, launcherActivityClass,null);
//solo.clickOnWebElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='nav_panel_0']/div[1]/div/div[2]"));
//solo.sleep(15211);
//solo.clickOnWebElement(By.id("handle_name"));
}
}

I can suggest to create private helper method with test logic and 5 different test methods which call the helper. Before every test method there is setUp and after there is tearDown so your application will be restarted. Your class can look like:
import com.robotium.solo.*;
import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;
#SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public class explore extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 {
private Solo solo;
private static final String LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME = "com.application.calc.android.main.CGabboMainActivity";
private static Class<?> launcherActivityClass;
static{
try {
launcherActivityClass = Class.forName(LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public explore() throws ClassNotFoundException {
super(launcherActivityClass);
}
public void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation());
getActivity();
}
#Override
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
solo.finishOpenedActivities();
super.tearDown();
}
public void testRun1() {
helper();
}
public void testRun2() {
helper();
}
public void testRun3() {
helper();
}
public void testRun4() {
helper();
}
public void testRun5() {
helper();
}
private void helper() {
// Wait for activity: 'com.application.calc.android.main.CGabboMainActivity';
solo.waitForActivity("CGabboMainActivity", 2000);
// Sleep for 10211 milliseconds
solo.sleep(5000);
// Click on source_internet_radio
solo.clickOnWebElement(By.id("handle_name"));
//Sleep for 5697 milliseconds
solo.clickOnWebElement(By.id("source_help"));
solo.clickOnWebElement(By.id("nav_item_1"));
//solo.finishOpenedActivities();
//solo.waitForActivity("CGabboMainActivity", 2000);
//this.launchActivity(LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME, launcherActivityClass,null);
//solo.clickOnWebElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='nav_panel_0']/div[1]/div/div[2]"));
//solo.sleep(15211);
//solo.clickOnWebElement(By.id("handle_name"));
}
}
Another way is to create own test suite.
