The support library has been superseded by [AndroidX](/jetpack/androidx) which is part of [Jetpack](/jetpack). We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider [migrating](/jetpack/androidx/migrate) existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library [class\n| mappings](/jetpack/androidx/migrate/class-mappings).\n\n\n`\npublic\n\n\ninterface\nViewFinder\n`\n\n\n`\n\n\n`\n\n|------------------------------------------|\n| android.support.test.espresso.ViewFinder |\n\n|---|---|\n| Known Indirect Subclasses [ViewFinderImpl](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/base/ViewFinderImpl) |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [ViewFinderImpl](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/base/ViewFinderImpl) | Implementation of [ViewFinder](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/ViewFinder). | ||\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n*** ** * ** ***\n\nUses matchers to locate particular views within the view hierarchy.\n\nSummary\n-------\n\n| ### Public methods ||\n|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| ` abstract `[View](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html) | ` `[getView](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/ViewFinder#getView())`() ` Immediately locates a single view within the provided view hierarchy. |\n\nPublic methods\n--------------\n\n### getView\n\n```\nView getView ()\n```\n\nImmediately locates a single view within the provided view hierarchy.\n\nIf multiple views match, or if no views match the appropriate exception is thrown.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n| Returns ||\n|------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| [View](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html) | A singular view which matches the matcher we were constructed with. \u003cbr /\u003e |\n\n| Throws ||\n|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------|\n| [AmbiguousViewMatcherException](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/AmbiguousViewMatcherException) | when multiple views match |\n| [NoMatchingViewException](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/NoMatchingViewException) | when no views match. |\n\n-\n\n Interfaces\n ----------\n\n -
