How to get access to methods onView, withId or Matches on Android?

Question

I’m following this tutorial !

In it, displays this example:

package com.example.android.testing.espresso.BasicSample;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import android.support.test.rule.ActivityTestRule;
import android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnit4;
...

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
@LargeTest
public class ChangeTextBehaviorTest {

    private String mStringToBetyped;

    @Rule
    public ActivityTestRule<MainActivity> mActivityRule = new ActivityTestRule<>(
            MainActivity.class);

    @Before
    public void initValidString() {
        // Specify a valid string.
        mStringToBetyped = "Espresso";
    }

    @Test
    public void changeText_sameActivity() {
        // Type text and then press the button.
        onView(withId(R.id.editTextUserInput))
                .perform(typeText(mStringToBetyped), closeSoftKeyboard());
        onView(withId(R.id.changeTextBt)).perform(click());

        // Check that the text was changed.
        onView(withId(R.id.textToBeChanged))
                .check(matches(withText(mStringToBetyped)));
    }
}

I did all the steps, but in my class there are no such methods: onView withId or matches

How do I get access to these methods?

Answer 1

I was able to add the following import s:

import static android.support.test.espresso.Espresso.*;
import static android.support.test.espresso.matcher.ViewMatchers.*;
import static android.support.test.espresso.action.ViewActions.*;

Being these import s static, the methods become accessible to the class
