Missing clickOnImageButton(int id)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
clickOnImageButton() only takes an index, not and R.id.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Robotium 2.4, any OS

Please provide any additional information below.
It would be useful to have a method to click on an ImageButton based on its ID 
rather than just its index which might change over time when you restructure 
the UI.

At the moment, we use something like this:
int i = 0;
for (ImageButton imageButton : solo.getCurrentImageButtons()) {
    if (imageButton.getId() == imageButtonId) {
        solo.clickOnImageButton(i);
        break;
    }
    ++i;
}

You can do the following:

ImageButton imageButton = (Image) solo.getView(R.id.of.imagebutton);

solo.clickOnView(imageButton);

Sometimes the emulator is too slow, so when I call 
solo.getView(R.id.of.imagebutton) it will return null. I had to add a 
solo.sleep(1000) before it, which isn't always enough. It also seems silly to 
me, of putting solo.sleep() everywhere just to make the code more reliable.
With the - not so clean - method of using the loop I never encountered this 
issue, because solo.getCurrentImageButtons() always returned all of the 
ImageButtons.

Is there no cleaner _and_ more reliable method of using the loop? Because I 
will probably revert to using the loop if there is not.

I agree, using sleeps is not a good solution. Try this:

solo.waitForView(ImageButton.class);
ImageButton imageButton = (Image) solo.getView(R.id.of.imagebutton);

solo.clickOnView(imageButton);

If you want to be even more specific you can use:

solo.waitForView(final Class<T> viewClass, final int minimumNumberOfMatches, 
final int timeout)

Thank you. This worked out nicely.

I wrote that within my code to click on an image button ...

solo.waitForView(ImageButton.class);
ImageButton imageButton = (ImageButton) 
solo.getView("com.softxpert.sds.R.id.addFolderAction");
solo.clickOnView(imageButton);

BUT, It doesn't work and here's the error .. any help ?

Try to use this as the I'd string instead: addFolderA
