Add more getXXX(int resID) & clickOnXXX(int resID) methods

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice if we have more of those getXXX() & clickOnXXX() methods by 
Resource ID as parameter so that it's easier for us to pin-point exactly which 
visual controls we are referencing to.  Especially when now considering 
Fragments and I may have multiple Fragments that contain multiple ListView and 
now clickInList() don't quite work for the 2nd ListView.  I have to developed 
something to work around that (searchText(), scrollUp or scrollDown to find the 
item and then click()).

Robotium is just a great addition on the Instrumentation.  Many thanks for all 
of your great effort.

What happens when you try to use clickInList() for the 2nd ListView?

This would indeed be a nice addition. Currently, we have wrappers like

    public void clickOnStringId(int stringId) {
        solo.clickOnText(Pattern.quote(solo.getString(stringId)));
    }

As clickOnText() accepts a regex we first need to quote the resource string to 
get a literal match. It would be nice to have this directly in Robotium.

getView works with all views. There is no need to know what kind of view it is. 

Just do something like View view = solo.getView(R.id.x)
solo.clickOnView(view);

Granted, for visual controls this feature request probably does not make much 
sense. But what about my comment regarding string resources?

I like the idea. This will be included in the next release.
