    Don't forget Google's Espresso. https://code.google.com/p/android-test-kit/wiki/Espresso
    I find Robotium and Espresso are very effective when combined in the same test case as they both complement each other and compensate where the other falls short. They both use and extend from the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 class. I have never seen anyone do this before, but I have had great success with it.

    Also, checkout this open source Android automation framework, which is soon to be released. http://wmacneil.blogspot.ca/

    When Apple releases ios 8 features this fall, users are given the facility of downloading ThemeBoard app from the App Store just like any other app. After choosing ThemeBoard as their keyboard in Settings, you’ll be able to go into the app and choose between a wide range of keyboard designs submitted by the community itself.
