Does Robolectric support API level?

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.

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.

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?
