TextUtils.isEmpty creates problems when unit testing with Mockito

[kbhardwaj123]

Summary:

While i was creating unit tests for some files which i changed. It used TextUtils.isEmpty which when tested using mockito always return false because of unitTests.returnDefaultValues = false mentioned in the gradle files

right now there are two work arounds:

• use PowerMockito and write mock logic for TextUtils.isEmpty
• use Robolectric which 10x time to run a test

I have a solution which is to create a default mock for all boolean returning text utils,if we use that then the developers who write unit tests won't have to manually create a mock using PowerMockito or use Robolectric which is much slower
