Android - Is it possible to access instrumened test and unit test classes in androidTest and test folders programmatically?

Question

Is there a way to access the test classes in AndroidTest and test folders from my code? I can access tests placed in the same folder than my activity but not from these test folders.

Answer 1

If by "from code" you mean "from classes in the main/ source set", then no, that is not possible.

I want to do that to run test after an admin clicked a button.

Android tests (androidTest and test) are run by the Android SDK tools. Unit tests (test) are run on a development machine, not the device. Instrumented tests (androidTest) require special permissions to run and cannot be executed directly by an ordinary Android app.
