no test task in gradle build

I am trying to build and imported Android project in Android Studio/Eclipse. My goal is to write automated test to the current project. First, I am trying to build the project and then to make an apk file of it so I will be able to execute real device/emulator tests on it. Here are my available Gradle tasks There is no build or test or assemble and etc. tasks which are I am looking to use so I will reach my goal. Here is my project tree and both build.gradle files
`

 apply plugin: "java"
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.13
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

and

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
version = "1.2"
buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
    }
}
android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "sdk.mobfox.com.appcore"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
        archivesBaseName = "MobFox-Android-SDK-Client-" + version + ".apk"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize = "4g"
    }
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
}
repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
    compile 'com.danikula:videocache:2.7.0'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'}

I tried to open the project in Android Studio but got the same state. I opened a new Gradle project in Eclipse and saw that the tasks I am looking for are available there - I believe because of the 'java-library' plugin which added to the build.gradle root file but I use the same plugin in my root build file and did not receive what I expected. I was succeeded to execute the Gradle "tasks" which gave me the next response in console :

Working Directory: C:\Users\orit\Desktop\mobFox\MobFox-Android-SDK-master\MobFox-Android-SDK-master Gradle User Home: C:\Users\orit.gradle Gradle Distribution: Specific Gradle version 4.1 Gradle Version: 4.1 Java Home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91 JVM Arguments: None Program Arguments: None Gradle Tasks: tasks

Rules

Pattern: clean: Cleans the output files of a task. Pattern: build: Assembles the artifacts of a configuration. Pattern: upload: Assembles and uploads the artifacts belonging to a configuration. To see all tasks and more detail, run gradle tasks --all To see more detail about a task, run gradle help --task BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s 1 actionable task: 1 executed

**1. What is the reason I cannot get all the task I got when I open a new project?
