It appears you would meet the Maine statuatory residency requirements. In the ME state interview you will select "Change Residency" and select "Full-year resident."
If RI is your domicile state, as defined here, then you are considered a dual resident and will file two resident returns. Be advised you will pay taxes to both states on all income from all sources.
To avoid this double taxation you might consider taking steps to establish your domicile in the state where you spend more than 183 days. Get a driver's license there and register to vote there for example.
That way you will have only one resident state for tax purposes. This will allow you to file a non-resident return and then claim a credit for taxes paid to another state on your resident return.
