--------------------------------------

             Summary: Provide @StartActivity annotation put on test method to automatically start activity
                 Key: ARQ-1536
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-1536
             Project: Arquillian
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Extension - Droidium
    Affects Versions: droidium_1.0.0.Alpha2
            Reporter: Stefan Miklosovic


Instead of starting activity every time in test method manually, it would be nice to have this possibility:

{code}
@Test
@InSequence(4)
@OperateOnDeployment("todo-mobile-app")
public void loginUserInMobile(@ArquillianResource AndroidDevice device) {
        device.getActivityManagerProvider()
            .getActivityManager()
            .startActivity("org.jboss.aerogear.todo.activities.LoginActivity");

        loginMobileFragment.login("john", "123");
}

=========================

@Test
@InSequence(4)
@OperateOnDeployment("todo-mobile-app")
@StartActivity("org.jboss.aerogear.todo.activities.LoginActivity")
public void loginUserInMobile() {
    loginMobileFragment.login("john", "123");
}
{code}

However, with the possibility to have Graphene page fragments, it would be teoretically possible to have propper page objects as well which mean that we could abstract activity into @Page and specify its @Location("activityName")

The problem is, how this translates to Graphene since Droidium starts activities in this manner:

driver.get("and-activity://" + activityName);

There is the need to take that "and-activity" string into consideration with @Location annotation.
