Answer 1

You can do this easily using PowerMockito which can also mock final/static methods, private methods and anonymous classes easily. Here's the sample code for mocking http request. JSON_STRING_DATA is any string which you want to get from execute method.

PowerMockito.mockStatic(DefaultHttpClient.class);
    HttpClient defaultHttpClientMocked =  PowerMockito.mock(DefaultHttpClient.class);        
    PowerMockito.when(defaultHttpClientMocked.execute(Mockito.any(HttpPost.class))).thenReturn(createMockedHTTPResponse(JSON_STRING_DATA));
