Mocking a static method chain

I am trying to mock a static method 

StaticClass.staticMethod(id).setContentType("text/plain").build();

I was able to mock static method and its return type using PowerMockito as below : 

PowerMockito.when(StaticClass.staticMethod(id)).thenReturn(returnValue);

But How do I send that value to the chained method setContentType()?

You need multiple whens. You'll need to mock a couple more objects staticMethod and contentType.

PowerMockito.when(StaticClass.staticMethod(id)).thenReturn(staticMethod);
PowerMockito.when(staticMethod.setContentType("text/plain")).thenReturn(contentType);
PowerMockito.when(contentType.build()).thenReturn(returnValue);
