I'm also having this issue. Any help from the Robotium team would be greatly appreciated. I am trialing this on behalf of my company but we will not be able to purchase a licence if we cannot get the recorder to start.

^ same with jlerigo, i was assigned to try out robotium by my company to see if it is a viable ui test tool, but if there is no help with this issue i guess i will have to find another alternative. i am still giving robotium recorder a chance but after a week even troubleshooting on my side, i haven't found a fix.
