Enhancement with Patch: Provide ability to viewMatch Spinner for selected item's toString

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
onView(withId(R.id.my_spinner)).matches(withText(R.string.my_string))
onView(withId(R.id.my_spinner)).matches(withText("My String"))

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expecting to see exceptions thrown when selected value of the spinner does not 
match. Currently seeing the following exception thrown:

com.google.android.apps.common.testing.ui.espresso.base.DefaultFailureHandler$As
sertionFailedWithCauseError: 'with text: is "My String"' doesn't match the 
selected view.
Expected: with text: is "My String"
Got: "Spinner{id=2131099680, res-name=my_spinner, visibility=VISIBLE, 
width=261, height=73, has-focus=false, has-focusable=true, 
has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=true, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, 
is-focusable=true, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, 
root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=0.0, y=217.0, 
child-count=1}"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1 with Android Emulators

Please provide any additional information below.

Provided patch with following usage:
withSpinnerText(resource || String)

Patch adds appropriate methods to ViewMatchers.java and appropriate tests to 
ViewMatchersTest.java

I have applied the WithSpinnerTextPatch patch my espresso lib but when I try to 
compile the source I get the following error:

I get that it cant find the spinner class. do I need to add a dependency to the 
pom.xml file to get it to build with maven? Thanks in advance...

Sorry about that, embarrassingly that was apparently an early patch I made 
instead of the correct one. I've attached the correct patch here, though maybe 
someone can help me figure this part out. I've got the compile working, but 
every time I run verify, I run into problems at the Tests for espresso test 
framework part, due to the Hamcrest dependencies issue (noted in several other 
issues on this site). I've tried various solutions from changing to 
hamcrest-all to using excludes in different areas to try to resolve all it, all 
with either no luck or creating more errors.

Thanks for your contribution. Sorry, running tests in this build is a mess 
(which should be resolved in the upcoming 1.2 release).
