Research direction
The issue asks how to use Dexter in Robolectric unit tests. Investigate the Dexter library's source code (e.g., `Dexter.java` and its dependencies) to understand how permissions are requested. Look for any existing Robolectric shadows or test utilities. Check the comments in issue #192 for any suggestions. Consider implementing a mock or shadow that mimics Dexter's behavior in a unit test environment.
