Old habits die hard. Particularly when it comes to testing--once you get used to working in a project blanketed with lots of fast-running unit tests, it's hard to go back.
So when some of us at Google learned that we weren't able to use our favorite mocking libraries when writing for our favorite mobile platform (Android, naturally), we decided to do something about it.

With a bit of setup, this can be done in Android, too. We've put together a tutorial describing our approach. It's the first installment in what we hope will be a series of articles on android app development and testing, from the perspective of Googlers who are not actually on the Android team. We'd love to hear whether you find it useful.
