I've been watching our devs struggling with the android build environment

for a while and decided to take a look at it for a couple of days recently.

The result of which was some work to help make it easier. In short (more

detail below) you can build in about the same manner as you would a typical

catkin workspace - one shot builds and dependency tracking across repos.

If you would like to get a handle on what's done, I've written up some

instructions on how to build the current turtlebot android apps (make sure

to use the '*legacy*' sources)

here<http://ros.org/wiki/turtlebot_android/Tutorials/hydro/Installation>

These are just tentative though. I'd like to get together with whoever's

interested to talk about how we can push this further (and re-integrate

with damon and chad's code) so we can have a convenient development

environment for android with hydro. Up until now it's felt terribly hackish.

Probably a good place to start some discussion would be at a BoF at RosCon.

We can then continue with a sig thereafter. Of course, if you're not going

to RosCon, let us know what you think and we can float any issues there.

Being a relative newbie with java/gradle/maven/android I have some starters:

- Should we setup a maven repo for rosjava jars or integrate with bloom?

- If maven, what is the best approach and how to do for android packages?

- Is it possible to speed up the android build process (what's making it

slow)?

- How best to organise android code?

Cheers,

Daniel

PS : A more detailed summary of the changes so far:

- catkinization

- Can use the usual tools (e.g. catkin_make)

- Parallel builds

- Chained workspaces (much lighter workspaces -> faster builds)

- catkin_rosjava_setup()

- Calls out to gradle in the compile step.

- catkin_android_setup()

- Adds library deps (from package.xml) to project.properties in the

cmake step

- Retargets the project (via ANDROID_TARGET cmake variable)

- Updates the project in the cmake step

- Calls out to gradle in the compile step

- catkin_create_android_library_pkg and catkin_create_android_pkg

- includes kazuto's minor patches into android_gingerbread

- moves kazuto's app manager patches into android_apps

- split gingerbread and honeycomb into separate stacks so it easy to

target a workspace for one or the other.

The Personal Robotics Lab in the School of Mechanical, Industrial and

Manufacturing Engineering at Oregon State University is proud to announce

our repository, orst-ros-pkg. Our current released stacks and packages are:

- http://ros.org/wiki/head_tracking - ROS Wrapper around Fanelli et al.'s

Real Time Head Pose Estimation from Consumer Depth Cameras [1]. Provides

6-dof head pose estimation using data from a Kinect or other similar device.

- http://ros.org/wiki/3d_interaction - Contains packages for projecting

interfaces into the world, and interacting with those interfaces, as well

as utilities for camera-projector calibration, and intersecting rays with

various types of world models.

- http://ros.org/wiki/projected_interface_builder - A utility for

graphically building projected interfaces to be used with the above stack.

- http://ros.org/wiki/ir_comm - A simple ROS interface to the phidgets_ir

board enabling learning IR codes, and using ROS messages to transmit codes.

The above packages were developed as part of the Robots for Humanity

Project [2].

- http://ros.org/wiki/rostop_gui - RQT plugin for monitoring ROS

processes, similar to Ubuntu's System Monitor.
