No it's for the mini project to be submitted at the end of the semester.

Then if you're really confused, go talk to your professor or TA.

The ROS tutorials are always a good starting point.

Essentially, you will have to write an android node that fills and periodically publishes a turtlesim/Velocity message on the correct topic.

You need to implement an android app that uses rosjava and publishes the same data as turtle_teleop_key. But please note that rosjava is still under heavy development and should be considered as unstable.
