Need method to switch to iframe context and access elements within it

1.What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have a webview which has an iframe content wrapped in a #document as below. Using Robotium, I'm unable to click or find elements within the iframe.

I'm using solo.clickOnWebElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='mydiv']")

1. What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I should be able to click on the elements within the iframe document. I get element not found if i refer any iframe document elements within my robotium code using xpath as above.
Similar to selenium, we need a method to switch to iframe document and perform actions and switch back to parent

3.What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Android 4.4 kitkat Robotium Solo 5.0.1

1. Please provide any additional information below. When i look at how the log, i see that Robotium internally uses document.evaluate which has the document context as the parameter. If i set the document context to iframe manually as below, within chrome console, i was able to access the iframe elements

document.evaluate("//div", document.getElementById("iframe_a").contentDocument, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue

Thanks for reporting this. Is the iframe_a id a general id for all iframes or could the name be something else?

Thanks for your reaponse. Iframe_a is just the id my application uses. Usually in selenium we have methods to switch to a iframe by passing the iframe id . Requesting something similar in robotium.
