[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. While using solo.waitForText("example") in some circumstances, such as 
waiting for text with this library 
http://www.androidviews.net/2012/11/changelog-library/

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Will find the text, but throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at 

elements = data[9].split("\\#\\$"); 

in WebElementCreator.createWebElementAndSetLocation

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Robotium 4.2.1-SNAPSHOT, Android 4.3 and Android 2.3.

Please provide any additional information below.
This problem started when I switched to the source code version 4.2.1, it was 
working fine with the prebuilt version 4.2.

My solution was to create the elemments varaible before the try - catch and put 
the elements = data[9].split("\\#\\$"); within the try - catch.

Example code: 

private WebElement createWebElementAndSetLocation(String information, WebView 
webView){
        String[] data = information.split(";,");
        int x = 0;
        int y = 0;
        int width = 0;
        int height = 0;
        Hashtable<String, String> attributes = new Hashtable<String, String>();
        String[] elements = {};
        try{
            x = Math.round(Float.valueOf(data[5]));
            y = Math.round(Float.valueOf(data[6]));
            width = Math.round(Float.valueOf(data[7]));
            height = Math.round(Float.valueOf(data[8]));    
            elements = data[9].split("\\#\\$");

        }catch(Exception ignored){}

        for (int index = 0; index < elements.length; index++){
            String[] element = elements[index].split("::");
            if (element.length > 1) {
                attributes.put(element[0], element[1]);
            } else {
                attributes.put(element[0], element[0]);
            }
        }

        WebElement webElement = null;

        try{
            webElement = new WebElement(data[0], data[1], data[2], data[3], data[4], attributes);
            setLocation(webElement, webView, x, y, width, height);
        }catch(Exception ignored) {}

        return webElement;
    }
