robotium don't support NestedScrollView,our project use NestedScrollView instead of ScrollView，some methods do not work

[lbx2015]

I am using ScrollView for a drawer fragment, and there are more than ten spinners in the left drawer fragment, and on landscape model, the test will fail with can't find spinners 10, and I using the solo.scrollDown(); solo.scrollToBottom(); , and I found it can't scroll the screen down. nothing happens from my eye. and I can scroll down using my hands.
