Thanks for posting this! Such a handy tool for the ROS community.

Nice, I need to try this. Any option to download this from f-droid?

@Humpelstilzchen that would be a great addition. I would propose to open an issue on the app repo and ask if they are ok with it. Also you need to find an alternative to the rosjava_bootstrap buildscript.gradle. I found some of them on https://jitpack.io but ran out of time.

@Humpelstilzchen I dont think so, but we’ll discuss this!

@jspricke yep. Generally it is really hard to work with the rosjava implementation. Tried a few times to somehow get around it (also the current problem with ROS2).
