We have covered Android - ROS applications provided from the ROS repository. So how can we create our own application using it? Let's take a look.
First, we have to create a separate workspace for our application. Here, it is named myandroid:
$ mkdir -p ~/myandroid/srcSwitch to the workspace's src folder:
$ cd ~/myandroid/srcCreate a package called android_foo that depends on android_core, rosjava_core, and std_msg:
$ catkin_create_android_pkg android_foo android_core rosjava_core std_msgsSwitch into android_foo and add sample libraries to check whether the project is building properly:
$ cd android_foo$ catkin_create_android_project -t 10 -p com.github.ros_java.android_foo.bar bar$ catkin_create_android_library_project -t 13 -p com.github.ros_java.android_foo.barlib barlib$ cd ../..
And finally, you can build the empty project using catkin_make:
$ catkin_makeIf it is building properly, you can add a custom project, such as a bar project...
