We are using Robolectric 1.1, which is a pretty outdated version. Since then Robolectric changed a lot, now uses real android code, instead of relying only on Shadow classes which mean much more things can be mocked, provides automatic Activity and Fragment lifecycle managent, more convenient API, etc
To make writing tests easier, we should switch to 2.2, but that means all of our functional tests should be rewritten.
