ROS Java Problem with sensor_msgs
Hi,
currently i write a android app which calculates the roll, pitch and azimuth values using the device internal sensors (Samsung Galaxy Nexus). With a little bit of sensor fusion this task works perfectly! I want to publish the calculated values with a publisher running on the smartphone to my laptop where the roscore is running. When i try to define the msg type which should be published i get an error. This is the codeline which will not be accepted by the compiler.
org.ros.message.sensor_msgs.JointState jointState = new org.ros.message.sensor_msgs.JointState();
And this is the error message:
Error:(343, 28) error: cannot find symbol class sensor_msgs
Error:(343, 85) error: package org.ros.message.sensor_msgs does not exist
I have imported the following:
import sensor_msgs.*;
import org.ros.*;
But no import resolves the sensor_msgs build error. I have googled a lot of stuff and every example i have found uses this msg Types without any special imports. But for me this will not work. I'm very new to rosjava and android studio. I hope someone can help me.

I'm not sure, but I think you're missing a dependency declaration on sensor_msgs
. You need to add it in both your manifest (package.xml
) as well as the gradle build.gradle
file. See the Depending On section on the rosjava/Messages wiki page.
Edit: PS: I might not understand your description completely, but does the android_sensors_driver (store link) not do this?

I have a similar problem. I am trying to use geometry_msgs.Twist and I have dependency declaration in package.xml as well as build.gradle. But I get compilation error ' Could not find method compile() for arguments [org.ros.rosjava_core:rosjava:[0.1,)] '. Any help is greatly appreciated
