Usage of MessageDeserializer to create message from byte array

edit

Hello! I am working on rebuilding ros_serial for android and have run into a problem creating the actual Message object from the byte array.

In the last supported version, it was as simple as

TopicInfo tI = new TopicInfo();
tI.deserialize(byteBuffer);

Ros now uses the MessageDeserializer and MessageSerializer, and for the life of me, I cant seem to get the ChannelBuffer to cooperate. The obvious usage would be,

 ChannelBuffer channelBuffer = ChannelBuffers.copiedBuffer(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN, buffer);
 MessageDeserializer<Message> serializer = node.getMessageSerializationFactory().newMessageDeserializer(type);
 serializer.deserialize(channelBuffer);

but this crashes with the following error.

E//node ( 2549): Unable to read input stream E//node ( 2549): java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Invalid combined index of 458881, maximum is 72 E//node ( 2549): at org.jboss.netty.buffer.SlicedChannelBuffer.<init>(SlicedChannelBuffer.java:46) E//node ( 2549): at org.jboss.netty.buffer.HeapChannelBuffer.slice(HeapChannelBuffer.java:200) E//node ( 2549): at org.jboss.netty.buffer.AbstractChannelBuffer.readSlice(AbstractChannelBuffer.java:323) E//node ( 2549): at org.ros.internal.message.field.PrimitiveFieldType$14.deserialize(PrimitiveFieldType.java:584) E//node ( 2549): at org.ros.internal.message.field.PrimitiveFieldType$14.deserialize(PrimitiveFieldType.java:555) E//node ( 2549): at org.ros.internal.message.field.ValueField.deserialize(ValueField.java:68) E//node ( 2549): at org.ros.internal.message.DefaultMessageDeserializer.deserialize(DefaultMessageDeserializer.java:45) E//node ( 2549): at com.cloudspace.rosserial.Protocol.parsePacket(Protocol.java:285) E//node ( 2549): at com.cloudspace.rosserial.ROSSerial.handleByte(ROSSerial.java:344) E//node ( 2549): at com.cloudspace.rosserial.ROSSerial.run(ROSSerial.java:227) E//node ( 2549): at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818)

How do you deserialize a message passed from ros_serial?
