The only thing I'd like is maybe a gradle build for ADT. I like my workflow I just hate placing required android libs on the path by hand, so time consuming. I only test on devices so the emulator thing to me is really a non issue.

That said, I would love a "simulator" since it would probably mean that Google has wrapped the JDK with an Android interface which frees me from having to every use Swing/SWT/any other java gui toolkit here ever again.

Are you doing your integration and instrumentation tests on actual devices as well?
