Do you get "Waiting for position" in your logs (check with grep)? If so, then AMCL or another localization system needs to be running - the robot is not getting its position.

Do you get "You must specify a definition_file" in any of your logs (check ~/.ros/logs/ with grep)? If so, then you have not properly specified a file for definitions of the map - the yaml file that links them all together.

  1. What is your transition_types parameter set to? If there is no transition_types then it will default to requesting a bunch of transition actions to be present. Add <param name="transition_types" value="" /> to your node launch if it is not there.

  1. Are all map_store services there? The system won't advertise set_map until map_store/list_maps, map_store/publish_map, and map_store/dynamic_map are connected up.

  1. Is the launch file that starts the multi_map_navigation node actually getting run? See if it is in the results of 'rosnode list'. If not, then roslaunch is for some reason not getting to that file.

Sorry for the late response. This most likely means that multi-map navigation can't start up for some reason. Here are a set of steps to troubleshoot, based on the source code.

2012-08-21 08:38:49 -0500 answered a question Building Android App Chooser with ROSJava

Build from source on Fuerte is to my knowledge untested, however the electric built apps are known to work with Fuerte systems. android_app_chooser uses the ROSJava implementation and uses a ROS script to set itself up automatically. If you want to build it or create your own android app, you should follow the tutorials at: http://www.ros.org/wiki/ApplicationsPlatform/Clients/Android. However, you should not need to do this if you want to use the applications without modification as you can simply download them from the android market.

Can you actually open the SDK manager? If not this sort of behavior is often caused by the lack of 32-bit compatibility libraries on a 64-bit system.

2012-08-21 08:28:39 -0500 commented question ROSJAVA Client Service md5sum not matching

How are you building the android client? Are you building both from the same package tree so you are sure there is no difference?

This sounds like a networking problem. Often times NAT or a firewall makes the connection one way between the robot and the android device. You can test this by pinging the device from the computer. Check the settings of the device to find the IP.

Can you plug in the android device, do "adb logcat -c", run the app and then do "adb logcat" and post the results here?

I think you are missing a rospy.init_node(...)

This is a bug that has been fixed. Please update rosjava_core and the android repository.
