How do I click the first item in a spinner using Robotium?

Question

I am having problems scrolling up in a spinner to select the first item in a Robotium test case. Here is my code:

int pos = solo.getCurrentSpinners().get(0).getS         


        

Answer 1

The API to use here with Robotium is rather flaky, so I decided to go down the direct API route:

instrumentation.runOnMainSync(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        Spinner spinner = (Spinner) solo.getView(resourceId);
        spinner.setSelection(position, true);
    }
});

This won't show you the popup of the Spinner, but it will select the desired item.
