Answer 1

In your unit test class you need to mock defaultHttpClient:

@Mock
private HttpClient defaultHttpClient;

Then you tell mockito (for example in @Before method) to actually create your mocks by:

MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(YourTestClass);

Then in your test method you define what execute() method should return:

when(defaultHttpClient.execute(any()/* or wahtever you want here */)).thenReturn(stubbed JSON object);
