How to click the Search button on a soft keyboard using the Robotium test?

I want to test the following thing with Robotium: enter text in the search field, I did this, and click the "search" button on the soft keyboard (android: imeOptions = actionSearch), which I can not do. I tried with solo.sendKey (Solo.Enter) but did not succeed. I'm not sure if this is important, but the soft keyboard is not shown at all - I also tried to achieve this, but without success.

At last! Robotium 5.1 proudly presents to you pressSoftKeyboardSearchButton().

For older versions, you can use this code (not clean enough, but it works):

solo.enterText(0, "ItemToSearchFor");
solo.sleep(1000);
solo.clickInList(0);

solo.sendKey(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME);

You cannot use keycode, what you can do is to know the position of the key and click on it. Because the soft keyboard is a bitmap, not a representation.
