Not able to click on menu item

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi All,

Please have a loot code below

solo.waitForActivity("xxxxx.RegistrationActivity",200);
solo.searchText("India");
solo.clickOnText("Next");
solo.waitForActivity("xxx.VerifyCodeActivity",200);
solo.clickOnText("Send Text"); //This will invoke the phone SMS App.

Now we need to send the SMS. we are using following code; however it doesn't 
work. 

solo.clickOnMenuItem("Send");

What should be done? essentially test started with one app and now it has moved 
to another app (sms). 

Thanks
Sneha

Do you mean that Send menu item is placed in other app ?
If so you can't use solo there.
Robotium works only in context of your application.

Good news:
You can use monkeyrunner tool
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/monkeyrunner_concepts.html

You should make python script as described and run it when you want to do this
solo.clickOnMenuItem("Send");

Bad news:
You can only click on coordinates. And send key events.

Hope it helps
