isSpinnerTextSelected wrong result

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose an item in a Spinner
2. call Solo.isSpinnerTextSelected(itemtext)
3. call Solo.searchText(itemtext)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected:
2. true
3. true
instead:
2. false
3. true

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.2

Please provide any additional information below.
In Checker.java the function
public boolean isSpinnerTextSelected(int spinnerIndex, String text)
the line: 
TextView textView = (TextView) spinner.getChildAt(0);
Why the zero value?
Why not like this:
TextView textView = (TextView) 
spinner.getChildAt(spinner.getSelectedItemPosition()); ?

spinner.getChildAt(0) was working fine for me in Robotium 2.2. I've just 
switched today and I'm getting a NullPointerException since the spinner object 
has always one child (the currently selected one). 
As far as I know, getChildAt() depends on the Views.. and not on the 
index/position of the total items (children != items).. right?

You get a NullPointerException exception everytime you try to use it?

Everytime the selectedItemPosition is != 0. So for example if in the spinner I 
have 3 items and I have this code, I would get the NullPointerException 
.. GROUP_SPINNER_INDEX = 0;
.. MOVE_DOWN_ONE_ITEM = 1;

solo.isSpinnerTextSelected(GROUP_SPINNER_INDEX, "Item position 0"); // No error
solo.pressSpinnerItem(GROUP_SPINNER_INDEX, MOVE_DOWN_ONE_ITEM);
solo.isSpinnerTextSelected(GROUP_SPINNER_INDEX, "Item postion 1"); // 
NullPointerException

Thanks for reporting this. It will be fixed in the next release. I would 
recommend you to use 2.2 instead. The differences between the two are minor.
