cannot connect to android node
Hi everybody,
I am trying to run ros on an Android device using rosjava. I have first tried downloading the android_sensors_driver app from the Market and everything works fine: I can start a roscore on my laptop and connect to it from the app and I can log all imu/gps data.
However if I try the same with the latest version of the app from the git repo https://github.com/ros-android/androi... it does not work.
I had no problems compiling. When I run the app, I set the master uri with the ip of my laptop and the app says it successfully connected to the master. However when I run rosnode list, I cannot see the app and neither I can see the topics it publishes.
I also tried with the other tutorial apps in https://github.com/rosjava/android_core but they all do the same: they seem to connect to the master, but no node/topic shows up.
I found other people having similar issues and I did these checks/tests: - both the smartphone and the laptop are connected to the same wifi network - both can ping each other - there should be no special firewall in the router and I also tried connecting both devices to a third android device working as a hot spot - I tried different phones
I am using ros indigo and Android kitkat.
Thank you very much for any help. Cheers.
Riccardo
