Hi,I cannot share the app as its not allowed. but I will explain my problem I 
am testing a website with robotium its working fine with 3 pages but when eh 
4th page load its read the element from that page also but there is next button 
on the page which is not visible on the screen for that i have used 
solo.scrollToSide(Solo.RIGHT);
solo.scrollDown(); even solo.scrollUP(); teh scrolling is working fine with 
left and right but its not showing the next button which is on the bottom of 
screen.

Unfortunately nothing can be done about this. Robotium tells the WebView 
directly to scroll by: WebView.pageDown. What you will have to do is to use a 
manual solo.drag() in order to drag the screen down.

That is unfortunately the only way around that I can think of.

You could try to enable Config.useJavaScriptToClickWebElements. Please see the 
Javadoc for more information.

I have solved that problem by writing the  
config.useJavaScriptToClickWebElements= true; in the main test method
