Android Studio (Gradle) cannot find Mockito

I try to use Mockito from within Android Studio 1.2.2 but I get the following error:

Answer 1

I was stuck into a similar problem, and adding the mockito jar file manually did the thing for me.

To do that, first create a directory called "libs" in your app directory. Take note that this directory should be in the same level as that of the src/main and build directories. Next, download the mockito jar file and paste it into the libs directory.

Include that into your dependencies in the app level build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile files('libs/add-your-jar-file-name-here')
}

Sync the gradle and that should do the job.
