unit testing a method called from another class

I am new to Android unit testing and I am using Mockito to do it.

I want to test my method which has a method from another class. I want to stub that method so that it should not be called. I am using doReturn().when() so that original method is not called but it is calling the original method.

Here is my code:

doReturn(true).when(myclass1mock).methodofclass1();
boolean a = myclass1mock.methodofclass1(); //here it return true
class2spy.methodofclass2(anyvalue);

The method I am testing is:

public class2 {
    public void methodofclass2(Value) {
        boolean value = class1.methodofclass1(); //here I don't want to call this method
    }
}

The problem is method of class1 is called everytime. I want something so that class1.methodofclass1() is not called.

I am injecting using:

@Mock
class1 myclass1mock;
@InjectMocks
class2 myclass2;
@Before
public void setUp() {
    myclass2 = new myclass2();
    class2spy = Mockito.spy(myclass2);
}

As you want to test the behavior of Class2, then i think you mixed up the annotations. Also i would take advantage of @Spy annotations rather that configuring it by hand:

@Spy
class1 myclass1Spy;

@InjectMocks
class2 myclass2;

@Before
public void setUp() {
    MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
}

Also, do not try not to spy the class which is being under test (class2). Use the real implementation.
