Does it work on the 2.2 emulator?

Same behaviour on the emulator.
I attached a sample project and a sample test project.

This has been corrected in Robotium 2.4.

I'm using Robotium 2.4 and I'm having similar issues where pressSpinnerItem 
works on Android 1.5 (emulator & device), but not on Android 2.1 and up 
(emulator & device).  

On Android 2.1 and up, the spinner is selected, but is never opened in order to 
select the item at the specified index.  So the first item in the list is 
always selected.

I tried different alternatives:
-clicking on the spinner view followed by clicking on the text in question
-clicking on the location of the spinner on the screen followed by clicking on 
the text in question
Each of these alternatives work on Android 1.5, but not on Android 2.1 and up.  
The spinner is never opened in order to select the item in question.

For the sake of completion, I downloaded the sample project and test project 
attached to this issue to try running them in my environment and I realized 
that the tests themselves do not adequately validate the spinner item 
selection.  

In fact, the 
if (!solo.waitForText("startPlus1")) 

is always true regardless of the index passed in the pressSpinnerItem call 
because the spinner is opened but never closed.  The 
solo.waitForText("startPlus1") is performed while the spinner is open instead 
of validating the text that should displayed in the toast once the item is 
selected.

Therefore, there is still an issue with the pressSpinnerItem not working 
properly on Android 2.x

Please let me know whether or not I need to create a new issue for this.
Thanks!

I am using solo.pressSpinerItem (0, 2). When he performs, he does not open the 
items from the spinner, it goes to the next two compontes of screen that are a 
check box and a button and clicking the button. Anyone know what can be?
