Revision history [back]

org.ros.android comes from the rosjava.android packages (http://code.google.com/p/rosjava/source/checkout?repo=android). The other missing jars are most likely built when you build the rosjava package. The manifest.xml file of a package specifies dependencies and when you run "rosmake" on the package it will generate the jar files for each of those dependencies.

I recommend installing rosjava, and rosjava.android from source. Here's (hopefully) a helpful guide:

1) Install ROS electric, unstable, or later

    a.  ‘sudo apt-get install ros-electric-desktop-full’ (for electric)

2) Clone the latest rosjava source from googlecode into a directory in your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

    Install Mercurial (hg) : ‘sudo apt-get install hg’

    Go to http://code.google.com/p/rosjava/source/checkout and Follow “Command-line access” instructions

3) Run ‘rospack profile’ to update your environment

4) Build rosjava

    ‘rosmake rosjava’

Continue for Andorid setup

1) Install eclipse

    ‘sudo apt-get install eclipse’

2) Install the Andorid SDK

    Follow the instructions at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

3) Clone the latest rosjava.android source from googlecode into a directory in your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

    Go to http://code.google.com/p/rosjava/source/checkout?repo=android and Follow “Command-line access” instructions

4) Run ‘rospack profile’ to update your environment

5) Build rosjava.android

    ‘rosmake rosjava.android’

From here you should have a working environment. To run the tutorials, run "rosmake" on the one you want, then import it into eclipse. You may need to import android_gingerbread or android_honeycomb_mr2 into eclipse also, and add them as project references.

android_gingerbread and android_honeycomb_mr2 are the packages (eclipse projects) that provide org.ros.rosjava.android.

To create a new rosjava package you can follow the instructions here : http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosjava/Build

The only difference for android is that the build.xml file should be :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
  <property file="ros.properties"/>
  <include file="${ros.pkg.rosjava_bootstrap.dir}/android.xml"/>
</project>

You'll also need to set up the right exports. Add this to your manifest.xml file:

<export>
  <rosjava-android-lib target="android-9" />
  <rosjava-src location="src" />
  <rosjava-src location="gen" />
  <rosjava-src location="res" />
</export>

After running rosmake you should be able to import your the package into eclipse and begin development.

WARNING

These are the instructions I created from trial and error, they may not work perfectly for you (this is also a first draft). I have run into runtime errors in my Andorid apps, which I don't know how to fix yet. There is a chance that these instructions will work perfect, the tutorials will run, but your own projects will get runtime errors.
