You don't need an Open Source Android app to test. You can use just about any .apk built for Release [Source]. This is unlike iOS apps that have to be built using a Debug build and have the test framework packaged in [Source].
Tools like Xamarin (free with Visual Studio Community for Windows and Xamarin Studio for OSX) or SeeTest (paid app) only ask for the apk file and runs with it.
I use Xamarin but linked SeeTest as my sources since the docs were easier to find.
