How to create a separate test-directory in AndroidStudio?

Question

I have the following project structure:

I want to create tests in the "tests"-folder in the bottom. When I copy-paste a test class inside, it is obviously not recognized, as seen in the image below. How should I make Android Studio recognize the "tests" directory, or something inside it, as a test folder?

Thank you!

What isn't recognized? What's the error? – OneCricketeer Apr 24 '17 at 05:10 — OneCricketeer, Apr 24 '17 at 05:10

Since AndroidStudio is IntelliJ based, I think that you should be able to mark your folder as a test folder in the same way you would mark a test folder in IntelliJ (i.e. File->Project Structure->Modules and choosing your given folder as a test folder). See this answer which described it for IntelliJ.

You'd actually use Gradle to establish that, not use the IDE – OneCricketeer Apr 24 '17 at 05:08

You should place your tests within the actual modules

This is how the Android + Java Gradle modules work by default.

android
  src 
    main
      java
    test
      java
    androidTest
      java
core
  src
    main
      java
    test 
      java

If you want "integration test", make a new module for that and compile() each module, then still follow that directory structure.
