Android developers, how do you write UI tests for your app?

Question

I recently started making Android Apps and was curious to know how the community writes UI tests.- Do you rely on automated UI tests or manual or both?- How do you write automated UI tests? Is Espresso good enough?- Where are the devices present? Locally or something like AWS farm?

We have a handheld product (custom hardware) that we struggle to test. Currently it&rsquo;s all manual testing but lately I&rsquo;ve been wondering how to increase test coverage and automate it too.
