Current best way to create android core msgs

Hey,

I was wondering whats the best to build custom msgs for ros-android core package. It would be in rosjava but do I have to do it externally ? Like here : http://answers.ros.org/question/12540/how-to-create-a-custom-message-in-rosjava/

I came across this post from 2012, but I m sure a lot of things have changed since. My current rosjava_messages in indigo folder doesnt contain any source files, just git repository links. So I m not sure, if I should be creating something out there?

Another issue of mine is that my android project folder is different fror rosjava installation. So if I were to source android workspace in one terminal and create the msg folder as suggested here,

http://docs.rosjava.googlecode.com/hg/rosjava_core/html/getting_started.html#messages

I cant build rosjavamessages. Because a) I have sourced android project folder and roscd doesnt find rosjavamessages. b) Even if I were to source rosjava installation folder now, I can roscd into rosjavamessages but my orginal /msg folder is no longer reachable c)As I mentioned above, rosjavamessages has no actual source files ../gradlew install returns bash: ../gradlew: No such file or directory

Could someone point me to the current way to write custom msgs thats not dependent of rosjava installation folder
