Talker issue on Android pubsub tutorial

Hello,

I have installed the pubsub android tutorial on an android device and have it connect to an external roscore in order to have a talker/listener system between the android device and the computer where roscore runs.

When a Talker on the computer publishes data on the "chatter" ros topic, this data is seen on the android device in the rosTextView node.

However, when a Talker on the android device publishes data on the "chatter" ros topic, this data is seen in the rosTextView node of the android device but it dos not appear using "rostopic echo /chatter" on the computer. However, the data published by the talker should be seen on the computer also.

Would you know how to fix this?

I thank you in advance.

Imré

P.S. Here is the main source code of the application if it can be of any help: https://code.google.com/p/rosjava/source/browse/android_tutorial_pubsub/src/org/ros/android/tutorial/pubsub/MainActivity.java?spec=svn.android.10e4ad9b5746bead9376295165247bec770bdbc2&repo=android&name=10e4ad9b57&r=10e4ad9b5746bead9376295165247bec770bdbc2

Line 76 of the example says:

NodeConfiguration nodeConfiguration = NodeConfiguration.newPrivate();

That node can only make use of the loopback interface. Try:

NodeConfiguration nodeConfiguration = NodeConfiguration.newPublic(InetAddressFactory.newNonLoopback().getHostAddress().toString(), masterUri);

With that I am able to see the "Hello world! #" but I am unable to see results for rostopic echo /chatter . May I ask why is that happening?

has anyone of you tried to change the thext in talker.java? What do i have to do to see that changes in the android app? e.g. changing "hello world" to "changed text"

Thank you very much for your answer; it solved the issue.

I changed "NodeConfiguration nodeConfiguration = NodeConfiguration.newPrivate();"

to "NodeConfiguration nodeConfiguration = NodeConfiguration.newPublic(InetAddressFactory.newNonLoopback().getHostAddress().toString());"

I had to keep setting the masterUri seperately otherwise the app would crash on startup.

Greetings Imré,

I have the same issue you had and I was wondering about how you did to set up the masterURI separately. Could you tell me how?

Thank you for your help

Thank you for the solution, it really helped. In my case, I changed "NodeConfiguration nodeConfiguration = NodeConfiguration.newPrivate();" to "NodeConfiguration nodeConfiguration = NodeConfiguration.newPublic(InetAddressFactory.newNonLoopback().getHostAddress().toString(), getMasterUri());"

and also add import org.ros.address.InetAddressFactory;
