Quality Tools for Android now proposes both a maven and gradle setup example for android-test-kit/espresso.

To launch the espresso tests you can use either :

mvn -P espresso
gradle :android-sample-espresso-tests:connectedCheck

You'll need the Java 7 compiler (even though the code compiles with -source & -target set to 1.5). (JDK6 and JDK1.5 may have problems).

Then you'll need to setup maven-android-sdk-deployer. Instructions are here:

https://github.com/mosabua/maven-android-sdk-deployer

After that it should just be a mvn install.

Eventually the artifacts will be available as an SDK extra. This is a developer preview right now :)

Where did you hear that JDK 7 is needed ? And up to now the espresso artifacts are not available. I can't say whether they will ever be available via the SDK manager or via maven central (and then installable via sdk deployer). – Snicolas Oct 20 '13 at 18:55

Also take a look at Jake Wharton's Gradle-port of Espresso. That may be a better intermediary step until the original library is updated with Gradle support.

https://github.com/JakeWharton/double-espresso

Add the dependency to your build.gradle to get it working:

androidTestCompile 'com.jakewharton.espresso:espresso:1.1-r3'

Check http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.jakewharton.espresso/espresso for the latest version.
