solo.enterText(0,var) fails when I pass in a string variable and works when I pass in a sting value #155

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Define a string variable 
     public static final String BIN_ITEM_NUMBER = new String("260833881268");

2. In the test code do the following
            solo.clearEditText(0);
        solo.enterText(0, BIN_ITEM_NUMBER);
        solo.sendKey(Solo.ENTER);

3. You will notice an NPE exception
 java.lang.NullPointerException

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There should be no exception displayed. Rather the variable(BIN_ITEM_NUMBER) 
should be replaced with the defined String value during the runtime for 
solo.enterText();

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
robotium-solo-2.5
MAC OS

Please provide any additional information below.
Tests work when I replaced the variable with actual value 
solo.enterText(0,"123456")

If you look at the specification of String you will see that what you do is to 
create a string of certain bytes String(byte[] bytes) . What you want to do is 
to assign it a value like:

public static final String BIN_ITEM_NUMBER = "260833881268";
