Robotium: searchText vs clickOnText

Question

Hi all, I have a strange situation: On a screen, I have the following string to click on: "1 Year Basic License ($15.00)"

But the following code give me some headache: assertTrue(solo.searchText("1 Year Basic License ($15.00)")); solo.clickOnText("1 Year Basic License ($15.00)");

The test fails on the clickOnText statements! saying (in the log): 1 Year Basic License ($15.00) not found. Have found: 1 Year Basic License ($15.00)

Can someone give me some hint to understand what's happening...

Regards, Alban.

Answer 1

I finally found was going on ;)

Everything here is around the interpretation of the string parameter as a regexp! So the solution here is to escape the dollar character!

Bye, Alban.
