What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
Basically I need to click long on screen to open the folders context menu to 
click on a folder inside the context menu. but i got the screen coordinates by 
the following:
int width = pageSolo.getCurrentActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay()
        .getWidth();
        int height = pageSolo.getCurrentActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay()
        .getHeight();

I used the width and height obtained to click long on screen after clicking on 
device HOME button but see exceptions. I tried width/2, height/2 yet the same 
issue.
