Hey droiders, Im building an app that communicates with an external sensor, preferably by USB. Now, as many of you already must know, Android smartphones and USB host mode are not natural to one another... But im sure that one solution must be available. At this point i see two possible alternatives:
- Grant USB Host capabilities in the android device (dont know how or if is even possible, but im certain it involves hardware configuration somehow) and then port jUSB or JSR-80 or some other java based USB communication solution to android. In this case the switch host/slave must be dynamic in order to assure that the device can still connect to a host itself (computer) - Implement USB OTG (On-The-Go - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go) on Android. This seems the most robust option but also kind of difficult... Anyone tried this? By the way, my Android device is HTC magic. Any thoughts or ideas? They are more than welcome.
