I have tried using Espresso testing framework and wrote a simple test.
Nothing fancy there, just this code:
onView(withId(R.id.login_button_stub)).perform(click());
Test runs fine on a Nexus 5 device and Genymotion with Android 5.0, but fails on Android Emulator 4.x, 5.0, Genymotion 2.3, 4.x and LG G2 with Android 4.x.
On all these devices/emulators/simulators, the button is clicked and its action executed (going to another screen in my case). The problem is it blocks in perform
on some devices. This ends with a nice exception after 60 seconds:
android.support.test.espresso.PerformException: Error performing 'single click' on view 'with id: com.vielengames.mock:id/login_button_stub'.
...
Caused by: android.support.test.espresso.AppNotIdleException: Looped for 3544 iterations over 60 SECONDS. The following Idle Conditions failed .
...
Note that there is no info about what conditions failed. Looking at Espresso source code, there should be a comma-separated list of issues.
Here is the full code: TestCase.java.
and full stacktrace:

The Espresso Test Recorder tool lets you create UI tests for your app without writing any test code. By recording a test scenario, you can record your interactions with a device and add assertions to verify UI elements in particular snapshots of your app.
One simple way to check for a View or its subclass like a Button is to use method getVisibility from View class. I must caution that visibility attribute is not clearly defined in the GUI world. A view may be considered visible but may be overlapped with another view, for one example, making it hidden.
Validate intentsUsing the intended() method, which is similar to Mockito. verify() , you can assert that a given intent has been seen. However, Espresso-Intents doesn't stub out responses to intents unless you explicitly configure it to do so. // User action that results in an external "phone" activity being launched.
It was a bug in my app code, where SwipeRefreshLayout
animated itself indefinitely. Due to a bug in this component, the refresh state was not even showing.
