how to use fest for android

Question

I am trying to use FEST with an android app testing

I want to check if some views in the activity got created and initialized correctly

@Test
    public void testSplashScreenActivity() throws Exception{
        SplashScreenActivity activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(SplashScreenActivity.class).create().start().resume().get();

//here i want to write fest assertions 
    }

however, when i assertThat(activity.welcomeText)..... nothing is allowed after this line?

i wrote import static org.fest.assertions.api.ANDROID.assertThat; in my imports, yet the api doesnt seem to be available

what to do to make my test project give me the api i need ?
