Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have

The issue was with the Android Emulator. Changed the AVD settings to enable "Use Host GPU" and the issue will be resolved.

Could be API 23 is not installed.
Go to Tools > Android > SDK Manager and check if Marshmallow (API 23) is installed.
Hope this helps

BUILD FAILED
Total time: 33.809 secs

This problem was caused because i deleted the template generated cloud endpoints API, and i did not get a usage warning when deleting the files.
To solve this simply remove any references to the API deleted in the WEB.INF/web.xml folder.
That is if you have a web project included. After i updated Android Studio i get a usage warning when doing a safe delete.

Gradle connectedAndroidTest fails with "No tests found." but outputs test results

Recently we started to add tests to our Android app project. We started of using Robolectric but have recently had to pull that out and just use the plain tests instead due to an issue we encountered with Couchbase. Before adding Couchbase our tests worked perfectly well when running with Roblectric.
From a new branch that doesn't have Couchbase in it I am pulling out Robolectric and changing over to using the standard connected tests. I've pulled out Robolectric, and I have all our tests working again. The HTML test report generates correctly with all the results we would expect. If a test fails the console accurately reflects which test failed and why.
The issue we we are having is that even though all the tests are working again (and passing) the testing fails with the following message:
com.android.builder.testing.ConnectedDevice > hasTests[Nexus 4 - 4.4.4] FAILED
No tests found.

Running with the --stacktrace I can see it is definitely coming from that library.

Is there a way for me to not have conectedAndroidTest run on libraries which we don't maintain?

You can run gradlew :app:connectedAndroidTest (where app is the directory name of the app module), which will only run your app's tests.

In our case, the accepted answer didn't help.
Our tests were starting perfectly fine if we run them from Android Studio but Gradle failed to find them if we run any type of connectedCheck using both Android Gradle Plugin and a command in terminal.
We found the needed information int the official docs. Regardless of the fact, that usual Instrumented test run without problems, we needed to add an explicit dependency to test runner:
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
// Or this one for Android Gradle Plugin 3.+
// androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'

Deploy App Engine from Android Studio

Im using android studio to add a backend to an android app but when i try to deploy using this command in the terminal
gradlew appengineUpdate
fails with this error

I finally made it to work, I was missing the name of the app in my case "backend" the command was
gradlew :backend:appengineUpdate

Android Studio itself showed a red X over my backend project, I followed what BradR said and terminal prompted that gradlew did not exist as a command, so if that doesn't work for you, then try this:
./gradlew :backendName:appengineRun
