Answer 1

To implement Robotium in Android Maven project you need to:

1. Add dependency in pom.xml. Dependensy you can get here: http://code.google.com/p/robotium/wiki/Maven

2. Use android-with-test archetype. https://github.com/akquinet/android-archetypes/wiki/android-with-test-archetype

Answer 2

From the link :

Getting started

...

When you have created a new test project you need to add the Robotium jar to the build path. In Eclipse that is done by right clicking on the test project --> Properties --> Java Build Path --> Add (external) Jar.

Basically, to get the library running in your project, you simply need to add the jar to the classpath.
