I have modified the android_tutorial_pubsub using the Lorenz's patch (http://ias.in.tum.de/~moesenle/android_tutorial_pubsub.patch). I connect the pc and phone to the same router and set the masterURI to the ip of the pc which is http://192.168.0.2:11311/. Then I start to see the familiar "Hello world! n". On pc, I can see the android node and the talker using $rosnode list, like: /android_gingerbread/ros_text_view /rosjava_tutorial_pubsub/talker /rosout. However, in the rxgraph mode, the 3 nodes are not connected to each other. Why? Then, I tried to publish a message using $rostopic pub /chatter std_msgs/String -r 1 "abc". But the Textview in the phone didn't show any message like "abc" but still "Hello world!n". The rxgraph show the 4 nodes separately (not connected to each other). I got really confused. Can anybody help me on this? I am new to the Rosjava, and any help will really be appreciated. Thank you.

when I tick on the ALL Topics option on the rxgraph. The 4 nodes are connected correctly. But the Text view is still not showing the "abc". This is really difficult to understand for me. Anyone can help me??

You probably just need to define ROS_IP in the environment you're running the publisher:

$> export ROS_IP=192.168.0.2

Without it set I saw a similar behavior, and things weren't connected.
