Can't click on ImageButton by It's ID

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using a recording tool for making automation tests and I don't have access 
to source code ..
and here's the recorded steps by the tool .. 
              assertTrue("Wait for image button (index: 2) failed.",
            solo.waitForImageButton(2, 20000));
            solo.clickOnImageButton(2); 
                        }
But, It fails on different devices as same button may have different indices

I found a function "waitForImageButtonById" but no functions for click on 
ImageButton by Id 

Used version : Robotium 5.0.1

You can use solo.clickOnView(solo.getView("id of your view");

I tried it already and it failed .. here's the failure trace:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: View with id:

also I tried to find the view by id as the following:
ImageButton imageButton = (ImageButton) 
solo.findViewById("com.softxpert.sds.R.id.addFolderAction");  
    solo.clickOnImageButton(imageButton);
But, It caused a class cast exception 
"com.android.internal.view.menu.ActionMenuItemView cannot be cast to 
android.widget.ImageButton"
