I absolutely would like to have Android unit tests! Having fixed some of those 
file I/O issue in Qt and KDE code myself I feel your pain there.

As Aleix said, the main challenge is figuring out how to do that. It might help 
if we do CI builds for x86 rather than/in addition to ARM? Craft can do that, 
even if the current CI image might not contain that configuration. That might 
be easier to execute in the Android emulator then, which presumably is how we 
would run tests on the CI?
