Android application scope getting reset after test

Suppose I create a global application scope from my Android Application class, e.g.

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        Scope appScope = Toothpick.openScopes(APP_SCOPE);
        appScope.installModules(
                new SmoothieApplicationModule(this),
                new MyAppModule(this));
        );
    }

Suppose this global scope is used everywhere in my app.

In my instrumentation tests, I want to mock out some of the instances provided by MyAppModule. If I use ToothPickRule in my tests, so that I get the auto-binding of @Mocks from ToothPickTestModule, the entire Toothpick scope gets reset after each test. Since the Application.onCreate() is only called once, I lose any modules I installed in that scope.

What would be the recommended approach here?

@Singleton is THE annotation that allows to create Singletons for the root scope. Any other scope needs a custom annotation and to bind the annotation scope to the scope. Thx Etienne for this precision.

A small note/gotcha for visitors to this issue. Having a child scope implies you might need a custom @Singleton annotation. By default, @Singleton annotated objects are automatically attached to the root scope here.
