The support library has been superseded by[AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx)which is part of[Jetpack](https://developer.android.com/jetpack). We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider[migrating](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate)existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library[class mappings](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate/class-mappings). ` public final class RemoteDescriptor ` ` extends `[Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object.html)` `` ` |---|-------------------------------------------------------| | [java.lang.Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object.html) || | ↳ | android.support.test.espresso.remote.RemoteDescriptor |
