Tips

Generate QR code to tell ROS_MASTER_URI to the android apps

Inputting ROS_MASTER_URI whenever you launch the app may painful. You can generate QR code for your ROS_MASTER_URI as follows:

sudo apt-get install qrencode imagemagick ros-$ROS_DISTRO-jsk-tools
source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
rossetip
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://$ROS_IP:11311
qrencode -o /tmp/master-$$.png -s 8 $ROS_MASTER_URI
convert /tmp/master-$$.png -background white -extent 264x274 -pointsize 18 -fill black -gravity center -draw "text 0,122 '$ROS_MASTER_URI'"  ros_master_uri.png

Use ROS_IP

When android app connect to the node running on your computer, the android device must resolve the hostname of your machine. If it is not the case, you need to set ROS_IP using IP address.

rossetip command in jsk_tools package may help to set appropriate ROS_IP.
