TextField in Dialogs gives view not found on API 15/16 physical devices

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  create a dialog with a text field that gets focus as soon as the dialog 
shows
2. Try to type into the text box using a viewAction

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- Should work on all devices and APIs.
- Works everywhere except API 15 and 16 PHYSICAL devices. 
- on API 15 and 16 PHYSICAL devices, you need a sleep before performing the 
action... 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

espresso 1.1 ( double espresso )

Not sure if it is related but we are showing the soft keyboard when the dialog 
pops up.

dialog.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {
            @Override public void onShow(final DialogInterface dialog) {
             view.requestFocus();
             inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,



If I use "typeTextIntoFocusedView" that seems to solve the problem, so maybe it 
is an issue with the field being already focused.
