You need to convert your octomap::OcTree to fcl::OcTree (is the same class name that why you have the confusion). by convert your octomap::OcTree to std::shared_pointer<const octomap::octree="">. After you have fcl::OcTree instance. you can do toBoxes. You can look at official FCL documentation.

2016-05-08 15:46:29 -0500 marked best answer compile android_sensors_driver

I want to compile android_sensors_driver.
i am using this guide:
https://github.com/chadrockey/android...

i have ubuntu 14.0.4.
ros indigo installed.
rosjava installed
android_core installed.


i am adding android_sensors_driver at android_core folder:
git clone https://github.com/chadrockey/android...
edit the settings.gradle in android_core
and add this line at the end of the file:
include "android_sensors_driver"
then:
cd android_sensors_driver
../gradlew clean debug


then i get error msg:
http://en.textsave.org/UCtb

the build.gradle file: http://en.textsave.org/YCtb

can you help me compile?

thanks, Tal.



I am master student, working on ros and rosjava project.
I was using android_sensors_driver from android store, and it was great.
I want to modified android_sensors_driver, and re-compile it.
I compiled all the other libraries: rosjava, and android core, with catkin_make (catkin build system).


I change build.gradle at android_sensor_driver, and now it find all the dependencies:
http://en.textsave.org/bEtb


but still, it not fully compile.
and if you can look the errors that i get after modified the build.gradle:
http://en.textsave.org/aEtb


can you help me please?
I feel i am so close, but need the final touch.


Thanks for your time,
Tal Regev.

2015-03-13 17:21:21 -0500 asked a question Create anonymous node in rosjava

Here a link to simple ros node: listener

there is a way to create anonymous node:

# In ROS, nodes are uniquely named. If two nodes with the same
# node are launched, the previous one is kicked off. The
# anonymous=True flag means that rospy will choose a unique
# name for our 'listener' node so that multiple listeners can
# run simultaneously.
rospy.init_node('listener', anonymous=True)

How i can do the same functionality in rosjava?

Thanks, Tal.

2014-11-18 19:32:05 -0500 edited answer compile rosjava

just delete all the rosjava folder and just do it again from begin, and it work. maybe the git was updated? maybe i install more sdk? then it work?

I am not really sure. but now it working.


It happen me again when i just delete some file from devel folder.
Make sure you close all app in the computer. this compilation is hard job, and if it stop at the middle, you probable
get this errors messages.
then just delete build and devel folder in ~/rosjava folder, then catkin_make.

good luck!

2014-11-16 05:45:56 -0500 answered a question compile android_sensors_driver

I talk with Chad Rockey,
he say that the android sensors driver was outdated.
So I modified the project, and now it compile!!

The project now on my github project:
https://github.com/talregev/android_s...
also update on github of Chad.
