The support library has been superseded by [AndroidX](/jetpack/androidx) which is part of [Jetpack](/jetpack).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\nfinal\n\nclass\nViewAssertions\n`\n\n\n`\n\nextends `[Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object.html)`\n\n\n`\n\n`\n\n\n`\n\n|---|--------------------------------------------------------|\n| [java.lang.Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object.html) ||\n| ↳ | android.support.test.espresso.assertion.ViewAssertions |\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n*** ** * ** ***\n\nCollection of common [ViewAssertions](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/ViewAssertion).\n\nSummary\n-------\n\n| ### Public methods ||\n|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| ` static `[ViewAssertion](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/ViewAssertion) | ` `[doesNotExist](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/assertion/ViewAssertions#doesNotExist())`() ` Returns an assert that ensures the view matcher does not find any matching view in the hierarchy. |\n| ` static `[ViewAssertion](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/ViewAssertion) | ` `[matches](/reference/android/support/test/espresso/assertion/ViewAssertions#matches(org.hamcrest.Matcher\u003c?
