This is an extension to the first version of the Ros Android Sensors Driver. It extends the driver to camera readings and updates the previous version to the post-gradle shift of the rosjava libs. Two compression methods are currently supported, PNG and JPEG (with selectable compression quality). The topic names are:

/android/imu /android/fix (GPS) /camera/camera_info /camera/image/compressed

Compiling:

To compile it on you machine, please follow the detailed instructions at:

Rosjava: http://wiki.ros.org/rosjava/Tutorials/indigo/Installation

Also need to compile android_core from here: https://github.com/rosjava/android_core/tree/indigo

Once your environment is set, do the following steps:

1. git clone the repo in the android_core folder (the same folder where rosjava are ~/rosjava).
2. Edit the settings.gradle file in the android_core folder, adding 'android_sensors_driver' at the end of the include list.
3. cd ~/rosjava; catkin_make

For the whole process of building, packing, installing into the phone and running the app in debug mode, use the buildAll.sh script.
