As far as I can tell, you've built your own version of the Email
client, and now you're trying to test it.
To do this, you have to build both the client application and the test
package.
In general, to build a test package for an application you have to be
able to build both of them from source. The test package and the
application have to be signed with the same key, as a security
feature. Once you build them, you need to install them to the device.
Afterwards, you can change the application and re-install it without
having to re-build or re-install the test package, and vice versa. You
still have to use the same key each time.
The process of installing applications and test packages is documented
in the Dev Guide. Go to the Dev Guide tab under Developing and look at
Building and Running and also Testing.
You can certainly run tests as the last part of your build process.
You can't do this easily in Eclipse, but you can do it by modifying
your Ant scripts. You can also run unit tests during a build if you're
testing a unit that doesn't depend on Android. To test something that
needs to run on Android, such as an Activity, you have to build it
into an application and install it on Android before you can test it.
When you say "the best way to do it like native Android tests", you
should look at the /tests subdirectory for the Email project. It
should contain unit tests for the client. You can use them as a
starting point for doing your own testing.
