Devise helper methods do not exist

I'm using devise for authenticating users in my app. The problem is that none of the devise helpers exist in my app. For example. In file app/controllers/admin/dashboard.php I have this snippet of code:

<% if user_signed_in ? %>
   do something
<% end %>

I get 

undefined method `user_signed_in?'

Here is the output of the rake routes command 

new_admin_session           GET    /admin/sign_in(.:format)         devise/sessions#new
admin_session               POST   /admin/sign_in(.:format)         devise/sessions#create
destroy_admin_session       DELETE /admin/sign_out(.:format)        devise/sessions#destroy
admin_password              POST   /admin/password(.:format)        devise/passwords#create
new_admin_password          GET    /admin/password/new(.:format)    devise/passwords#new
edit_admin_password         GET    /admin/password/edit(.:format)   devise/passwords#edit
                            PUT    /admin/password(.:format)        devise/passwords#update
cancel_admin_registration   GET    /admin/cancel(.:format)          devise/registrations#cancel
admin_registration          POST   /admin(.:format)                 devise/registrations#create
new_admin_registration      GET    /admin/sign_up(.:format)         devise/registrations#new
edit_admin_registration     GET    /admin/edit(.:format)            devise/registrations#edit
                            PUT    /admin(.:format)                 devise/registrations#update
                            DELETE /admin(.:format)                 devise/registrations#destroy
login                              /admin/login(.:format)           devise/sessions#new
login                              /admin(.:format)                 devise/sessions#new
admin_dashboard_index       GET    /admin/dashboard/index(.:format) admin/dashboard#index

Here is the content of routes.rb

devise_for :admin

  devise_scope :admin do
    match 'admin/login' => 'devise/sessions#new', :as => :login
    match 'admin' => 'devise/sessions#new', :as => :login
    get "admin/dashboard/index"
  end

  namespace :admin do
    resources :images
  end

And Admin model

class Admin < ActiveRecord::Base

  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me 

end

What is wrong here? I'm able to register or log-in, but I can't use helper methods.

Since your model is Admin you have to call

admin_signed_in?

and also

before_filter :authenticate_admin!

in your controller.

See https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/#configuring-multiple-models

try 

admin_logged_in?

devise will use whatever the model is called
