Robotium is an interesting tool to automate the Android application. It is an android test automation framework that can record both native and hybrid android application. It is easy to write a powerful and robust automated UI test for Android application using Robotium.

Step 1 : Open Eclipse IDE Editor. Note that we should have installed Java JDK and Android SDK in our machine. We should have ADT(Android Development Tools) plug in installed on our Eclipse IDE.
