PressBack is flaky

[GoogleCodeExporter]

pressBack() is flaky for me... sometimes ( maybe 1% ) it just fails ( mostly on 
real devices, like the S3 ).


When it works I see this in the logs:

22076   22076   ViewInteraction     info    11-26 14:04:54.860  Performing 'send keyCode: 
4, metaState: 0 key event' action on view is a root view.

When it doesn't work I see this in the logs:

233 9233    ViewInteraction     info    11-26 14:46:51.329  Performing 'send keyCode: 4,
