Description

To make sure Android block execute just like web versions. It should be built with copies of the blocks and workspaces in web Blockly tests/generators (at least, when the blocks are 100% compatible). Ideally, the generated JavaScript should be able to execute within the test app. Additional bonus points if it runs as an integration test in the test suite.

Research direction
First, examine the web Blockly tests/generators at https://github.com/google/blockly/tree/master/tests/generators to identify which blocks and workspaces are 100% compatible with Android. Then, determine how to integrate these into the Android test app, likely by copying relevant files and ensuring the generated JavaScript can be executed (e.g., using a JS engine like J2V8). The goal is to run these as integration tests. No existing PRs or comments provide further direction, so the first step is to assess compatibility and propose a design.
