Mock Build Version with Mockito

So far from other questions similar to this one it looks like you have to use reflection.

Stub value of Build.VERSION.SDK_INT in Local Unit Test

How to mock a static final variable using JUnit, EasyMock or PowerMock

static void setFinalStatic(Field field, Object newValue) throws Exception {
    field.setAccessible(true);

    Field modifiersField = Field.class.getDeclaredField("modifiers");
    modifiersField.setAccessible(true);
    modifiersField.setInt(field, field.getModifiers() & ~Modifier.FINAL);

    field.set(null, newValue);
 }

...and then in this case use it like this...

setFinalStatic(Build.VERSION.class.getField("SDK_INT"), 16);

Another way around would be to create a class that accesses/wraps the field in a method that can be later mocked

public interface BuildVersionAccessor {
    int getSDK_INT();
}

and then mocking that class/interface

BuildVersionAccessor buildVersion = mock(BuildVersionAccessor.class);
when(buildVersion.getSDK_INT()).thenReturn(16);

This works for me while using PowerMockito.

Whitebox.setInternalState(Build.VERSION.class, "SDK_INT", 16);

Don't forget to type

@PrepareForTest({Build.VERSION.class})
