# android.support.test.rule # android.support.test.rule | This package is part of the Android[support library](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library)which is no longer maintained. The support library has been superseded by[AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx)which is part of[Jetpack](https://developer.android.com/jetpack).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). ## Classes |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [ActivityTestRule](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/ActivityTestRule)\ | This rule provides functional testing of a single[Activity](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html). | | [DisableOnAndroidDebug](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/DisableOnAndroidDebug) | The`DisableOnAndroidDebug`Rule allows you to label certain rules to be disabled when debugging. | | [GrantPermissionRule](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/GrantPermissionRule) | The`GrantPermissionRule`Rule allows granting of runtime permissions on Android M (API 23) and above. | | [ServiceTestRule](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/ServiceTestRule) | A JUnit rule that provides a simplified mechanism to start and shutdown your service before and after the duration of your test. | | [UiThreadTestRule](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/UiThreadTestRule) | *This class is deprecated. use[UiThreadTest](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/annotation/UiThreadTest)directly without this rule.[UiThreadTest](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/annotation/UiThreadTest)is now supported as part of the core Android test runner to provide the ability to run methods annotated with`@Before`and`@After`on the UI thread regardless of what`@Test`is annotated with.* | - ## Classes - [ActivityTestRule](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/ActivityTestRule) - [DisableOnAndroidDebug](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/DisableOnAndroidDebug) - [GrantPermissionRule](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/GrantPermissionRule) - [ServiceTestRule](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/ServiceTestRule) - [UiThreadTestRule](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/test/rule/UiThreadTestRule)
