If your goal is to test Android code outside of Android, that will be impossible. Android is an operating system, not merely a JAR. Actually, "impossible" is probably too strong. Given several staff-years, you could probably create a JAR that mocks what it has to and uses real stuff for the rest. I would imagine it will be more expedient to isolate the "Android" from the "code segment" and test the code as pure Java. For example, you might mock whatever Android bits you are relying upon, with some sort of pluggable interface to allow you to swap between the mock (for outside-of-Android testing) and the real implementation.
