@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class MainActivityTest {

    @Rule
    public final ActivityTestRule<MainActivity> rule =
            new ActivityTestRule<>(MainActivity.class, true, false);

    @Test
    public void testWhenThereInNoExistingAccount_LaunchesLoginActivity() throws Exception {

        AccountUtility.removeAccounts();
        rule.launchActivity(new Intent());

        intended(hasComponent(LoginActivity.class.getName()));

        Intents.release();
    }

    @Test
    public void testWhenThereIsAnExistingAccount_DoesNotLaunchLoginActivity() throws Exception {
        Intents.init();

        AccountUtility.addAccount("email@example.com", "TOKEN");
        rule.launchActivity(new Intent());

        intended(hasComponent(MainActivity.class.getName()));
        intended(hasComponent(LoginActivity.class.getName()), times(0));

        Intents.release();
