Travis fails randomly all the tests about android-sdk-installer

I have asked this question on StackOverflow:

so I'm closing it here.

I also had a similar issue earlier, where it would fail once every 5 or so builds, probably because of this. Does the adb shell input keyevent 82 command consistently solve the issue, or does it still happen now and then? Please let me know if you find a solution.

In a simple test project I created I didn't use 82 and it seems to behave the same way, so I also removed it from my current project. My current suspect is Robotium itself, but I haven't tried to find the root cause yet.

I'll update this thread if I find anything useful.

I have found the reason of failures and a workaround. In case someone needs it, check out my stackoverflow question and answer.

Thanks - that's useful to know. Looks like that should be an essential addition to any UI test.
