Sample apps typically exist to demonstrate how to use an API, not how to use an API and then test it. I've shipped SDKs with sample code but none with unit tests for the sample app itself, because it just isn't worthwhile. The consumer can unit test their own stuff if they want. The sample apps just show how to get work done, not how to prove that the scaffolding works as intended. Do you have a counter example of a sample app for any API that unit tests itself independently of the APIs that it demos? Have you investigated any literature or tutorials on Android unit testing?
