Sorry but I don't see the point of trying to "fix" the unit test on Android if "id -G" doesn't work as expected. In fact, I don't really understand the point of such functional test. Are we still testing Python? Or are we testing the OS itself? I suggest to remove the whole unit test, or skip the whole unit test on Android (@skipIf(is_android(), "-G option of id -G is ignored"), something like that).
