As stated in the google documentation: https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Resolving-conflicts-between-main-and-test-APK

The way to resolve is to explicitly set the support library in androidTestCompile to the version you are using in the project.

if for example you are using support library version 25.0.1 just add

androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:25.0.1'

in your build.gradle configuration
