So I am testing my android app using Robotium and when I go to click on the item in my list it by solo.clickInList(0,1); using gives me

I am using the @UiThreadTest on top of my function.
As I found here it looks like a bug in robotium. https://stackoverflow.com/a/20200643/6150020. You can probably do the same thing by yourself without robotium.
public void onListViewItemClick(){
Activity activity = getActivity();
final ListView listView = (ListView)activity.findViewById(android.R.id.list);
getInstrumentation().runOnMainSync(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
listView.performItemClick(listView.getAdapter().getView(0, null, null), 0, listView.getItemIdAtPosition(0));
}
});
}
