I think this has potential (automation for emulators / real devices).
PErhaps as an addon to Arquillian (there were some tool (or at least ideas)
about mobile there)

I think these are all very different things, making it hard to have a good
proposal. Sounds more like "fix our random things" :-)

Right, that's CI
I was wondering if we could do a better integration/extension. E.g. from
your idea, trigger a build, and have the option to have the extension
download the APK (and launch to connected device/emulator).
just some thoughts
