How to Unit Test Google Cloud Endpoints Java Using Android Studio 0.8

I've found a few posts, but they either refer to front-end testing, or python. There is one tutorial for java GCE but there's no specificity on how to set it up in Android Studio, just a few random references to Eclipse.

eg

Unit tests in Android Studio 0.8

Feel free to yell at me if I've missed some relevant post and direct me to it. Thank you.

Rant: please ignore. May I say I find it insane that in 2014, on their brand new Android Studio (IntelliJ) platform, with all the lessons learned from previous iterations, Google has failed to provide a simple, seamless way to set up front-/back-end testing? I cannot decide what epithet to use here: pathetic, horrendously lacking any foresight, or lazy? Yes, I know name calling is not productive, but I feel I have the right to be outraged. I know Google wants its developers to be successful, so why is it not utterly and completely obvious that any kind of IDE solution must include at least a basic workflow baked in to do testing. Get on it Google! Testing is not an after-thought. It's the CORE of having any kind of non-trivial code out there in production. Fix this. We shouldn't need the community to come up with a patch-work of random solutions that stop working every few months. Google is a software company, they know this stuff. I love you Google but in this instance I'm disgusted and you know we all are right to be. /rant

Ok with some gradle googling, I managed to get it to work by adding the following the the build.gradle file in my backend module

testCompile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-api-labs:1.9.8'
testCompile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-api-stubs:1.9.8'
testCompile 'com.google.appengine:appengine-testing:1.9.8'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12+'

And also following this (in the original post) https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/localunittesting#Java_Writing_Datastore_and_memcache_tests

Hopefully it helps someone else as well.
