Good work. I have a couple of comments: If you have POJOs in your code, you can test them with JUnit using a standard mocking framework of your choice. The only limitations on mocking are imposed by the Android system.
Without getting into too much detail, most of the objects in the Android API can't be mocked. This is known. It's not meant to be test- hostile, and it's not accidental. I always think that to get anything useful in a finite amount of time, one has to make tradeoffs. Some of the class names could have been chosen better, perhaps. However, their functionality is well-documented. I think the key thing is that you've produced something useful for Android developers.
