Try Mockito. I hope it will be easy to understand and implement.

You can choose to write either android testcases which run on a device or emulator, or you can go ahead and write unit tests which run on the local JVM. I would suggest that you go fir android tests as you might be using android libraries and in this way you will avoid mocking a lot of dependencies.

In case you require any dependencies for your tests, then you can add them like below in your gradle file:

androidTestCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.8' ---for android testcases testCompile 'com.google.dexmaker:dexmaker-mockito:1.1' ---for local test cases

Also for startig just right click on any file that you want to unit test and in Go To option select test and then select create new test.

Also you can refer the below links. I found them very useful for my unit testing:
