Which version of Android does robotium support? My Android Version is 5.1.1! I get started with Robotium and then enter the Start command, but the screen goes to the Google screen and freezes there. I think I am going to need to wipe the tablet, but if there's another trick, please advise! I need clear instructions how to proceed because the solutions posted on YouTube are just confusing!

I am not sure, but if you are doing automation testing I think you need to build and deploy the app from your IDE. Therefore I don't think that only having the APK would suffice.
