Connecting android_tutorial_pubsub from Android device to PC

edit

I can't seem to connect to the PC from an Android device running android_tutorial_pubsub.

I changed it so that android_tutorial_pubsub is not running it's own ROS master as per: http://answers.ros.org/question/30726/does-android_tutorial_pubsub-connect-to-other-ros

I use ifconfig to get the IP on the Ubuntu VM (running on a Mac), but when I ping that address from adb shell, it says that it's unreachable.

Also, adb logcat tells me:

E/Registrar(21222): Exception caught while communicating with master.
I/DefaultPublisher(21222): Publisher registration failed: Publisher<publisherdefinition<publisheridentifier<nodeslaveidentifier< android_gingerbread="" ros_text_view,="" <a="" href="http://192.168.0.116:42837">http://192.168.0.116:42837>, TopicIdentifier</rosout>>, TopicDefinition<topicidentifier< rosout="">, MessageDefinition<rosgraph_msgs log,="" acffd30cd6b6de30f120938c17c593fb="">>>>

Am I missing a step somewhere or using the wrong URI?

Edit: I've seen posts about setting ROS_IP and I tried that too (set in .bashrc).

Edit: The problem was with VMWare Fusion. It was a networking setting. In VMWare, select the wrench icon for the VM, then choose "Network Adaptor" and then "Connect Directly to the Physical Network (Bridged)". Now I can ping and the publisher on the android device can send to the ros master on the VM. Yay!

Thanks!
