Hi I'm trying to learn the following pubsub tutorial code fragment but apparently, is still not connecting to roscore running on pc yet. The program installs successfully but there is no sign of a successful roscore connection.

You might want to check this other question - rosjava(android) pubsub tutorial. In particular, it looks like you need to run ADB.

Running a roscore provides your system with a /rosout. After running your roscore, type 'rosnode list' to verify this. Your sample node should automatically to the roscore. To verify this, run your node, then run 'rxgraph'. See the line connecting your node and rosout? That means it's connected to the roscore.

Also, in roscpp, when you start a node you might get one of two messages: 1. "core service [/rosout] found" -- meaning the node found the roscore 2. "starting new master (master configured for auto start)" -- meaning a new roscore was started

In fact, I am trying to communicate between the android phone and the host pc. Running the roscore on the pc is not a problem; i'm trying to get android to come and communicate with the roscore on the pc. The concept is quite clear-- to make the android connect to the roscore on the pc, but couldn't implement it with the codes details

I have exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution in the end?
