Have you tried this on the emulator?

Thank you for that hint.

I tried that in two seperate projects. While in one project the tags in the 
manifest files helped, in the other project it didn't. 

I am completely clueless why it does not work on both or neither.. Maybe you 
know something more? 

In my Project I have:

<supports-screens
android:anyDensity="true" />

<uses-sdk
android:targetSdkVersion="4"
android:minSdkVersion="3" />

In my Test Project I have:

<uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="4" />

In the method Clicker.public void clickOnScreen(View view, boolean longClick, 
int time)

the line 

view.getLocationOnScreen(xy);

returns different values for the y-coordinate.
This is why the EditText is clicked instead of the Button.

Robotium does not support version API version 4. It only works with Android 1.6 
and up.

Isn't Android 1.6 API version 4 ?

The min version 3 (1.5) might be the reason why you are getting the wrong 
coordinates back.

The only other reason why you would get the wrong coordinates back is because 
of the screen densitiy issue described in the QA wiki page. You need to add 
those tags to the application that you want to test (not the test project).

I have now in my project:

<supports-screens
android:anyDensity="true" />
<uses-sdk 
android:targetSdkVersion="8"
/>

And in my test project:
<uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="8"
/>

Same behaviour..

As I said in the previous message it has to do with wrong coordinates being 
given back to Robotium. This is not a Robotium defect. Unfortunetaly I can not 
give you any other solution then what is described in the QA page.

Hi,

I have just found the reason. 

Before I opened the DatePickerDialog, a software keyboard was shown!

The keyboard will be closed once the DatePickerDialog is shown.
However, one has to close the keyboard manually (e.g. by calling Solo.goBack), 
otherwise the following click will not be made correctly.

I attached a Sample Project and a Sample Test Project that makes this clear.
Note that the test projects writes the processing steps of the test to the 
LogCat. You can see there that a wrong coordinate for the y-axis will be used.

(Used Emulator 2.2)
