I am using Robotium to do the UI tests on my app, but I would like to test the integration between this app and other apps that we developed. I found about UIAutomator, but I would like to know if there is another solution to test this integration using Robotium or another framework. I don't want to mock the apps.

I want to automate an Android app using Google firebase test lab. I came to know that there are 2 tools with which we can do this.
Espresso & UI Automator: To use Espresso we need the App source code, but while reading some articles I came to know that we doesn't need App source code for UI Automator. I have even tried to use app source code of an hybrid app and found that there is only one element for App and not able to proceed.
Can someone help me how to automate an android app using UI Automator without app source code. I have my apk with me and not able to find any solution to run automation scripts using it.
The only way to automate android APK without source code is to use Selenium WebDriver, Appium or some similar framework, especially when it is not a native application.
For native applications, I strongly suggest to use Espresso.
I have developed an Android application that parses RSS feed from a website.
I have developed instrumentation test cases for application since I have access to code. So far everything is ok.
Now I want to ask is there any way or is it possible through which I can develop instrument test cases for apk when I don't have access to code.
If yes then what are all components in Android that can be tested through.
Thanks in advance

You can test it using Appium
If yes then what all components in Android can be tested through.
I have tested UI and flow for app.
Using google espresso I am trying to send emails using Gmail app.
In Gmail app how to access resource id for Send button: com.google.android.id/send
nowadays it's impossible. Check my answer on similar issue: Espresso test for Notification to showing up
Espresso UI test framework doesn't see more than actual View. I doubt
seriously that you can check any notification with Espresso.
For this purpose use another Googles testing framework uiautomator,
which is described as:
UI Automator is a UI testing framework suitable for cross-app functional UI testing across system and installed apps.
Here you would find how to use it with Espresso:

Android Testing: UIAutomator vs Espresso
As syou would see the best way to do it is using both of Espresso and uiautomator testing frameworks.
I am developing a mobile android app. What are the most common libraries/frameworks used for Android unit testing? I feel that most of the business logic, database testing, Web services testing can all be done using JUnit.
However, what's the best approach for testing UI, the UI workflow, etc? For example, how can we test if the Android app launches a web browser successfully? Or how can we confirm if buttons, certain things are pressed successfully? Or if images are loaded successfully?
I use JUnit for unit testing and Robolectric for instrumentation tests.
This article shows you a Hello World example with Robolectric
In recent times, I have been researching about integration testing in Android using Arquillian Droidium.
If you want to test some code that consumes a REST API, you can mock it with WireMock. With this library, you can mock REST APIs by code or even deploy a mock HTTP server in your own machine and set up your own mocked mappings.
For REST API mocks, I also recommend you to use Mockable.io.

The Android documentation has a topical series called Best Practices for Testing. I would start there.
Local Unit Tests and Instrumented Tests are set up by default when you start a new project. The general advice given is to use the local unit tests whenever possible. Sometimes this requires mocking an object that uses the Android API. The documentation recommends using Mockito in these cases. When UI tests (instrumented tests) need to be done, Android provides the Espresso framework. There are also other tools available, like the Exerciser Monkey (for stress testing) and UI Automator (for testing multiple app interaction).

There is a guide for automated user interface testing on the Android Developers Website. I haven't tried it but it looks like what you've been looking for.
