publish range data from android app

edit

Hi,

I am trying to publish range data (Fake) from Android application to the PC.

• I have successfully written a rosjava package rosjava_range which is nothing but a publisher and subscriber of the message type "sensor_msgs.Range._TYPE".

• As per instruction I created my new application by copying android_tutorial_pubsub.

• I tried to modify the build.gradle file to add my own package (class)

dependencies {

compile 'ros.rosjava_core:rosjava_tutorial_pubsub:0.0.0-SNAPSHOT' compile 'ros.rosjava_core:rosjava_range:0.0.0-SNAPSHOT'

}

• And then made changes in the MainActivity.java file to import the following class.

import org.ros.rosjava_tutorial_pubsub.Talker;

import org.ros.rosjava_range.Range_Talker;

I was not able to build successfully. I get the following error:

-post-package:

-do-debug: [echo] Library project: do not create apk... [propertyfile] Updating property file: /home/suraj/my_workspace/android_core/android_gingerbread_mr1/bin/build.prop [propertyfile] Updating property file: /home/suraj/my_workspace/android_core/android_gingerbread_mr1/bin/build.prop [propertyfile] Updating property file: /home/suraj/my_workspace/android_core/android_gingerbread_mr1/bin/build.prop [propertyfile] Updating property file: /home/suraj/my_workspace/android_core/android_gingerbread_mr1/bin/build.prop

-post-build:

debug:

• What went wrong: Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':android_tutorial_range:compile'.

  Could not find group:org.ros.rosjava_range, module:rosjava_range, version:0.0.0-SNAPSHOT. Required by: ros.android_core:android_tutorial_range:0.0.0-SNAPSHOT

• Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

What am I missing here? Do I have to add the path to my rosjava_range package?

Thanks for the help.
