Searching for a text using searchText fails. As Robotium tries to create a 
regex for it.

Can we have a searchText() overload which will not try to create a regex for it.


Text which I searched was
Light of Eidon (Legends of the Guardian-King, Book 1)

If you use "\\" before the text then special characters will not be taken into 
account. So basically you could use searchText("\\" + text). Many people like 
to use regex when doing searches so that is a feature that we can not remove. 
However I do agree that sometimes regex support can be annoying.
