I am trying to write a service/daemon that will start when the USB is connected and do something, then stop when the USB is disconnected.
Normally I would expect to use udev or something similar, but as far as I am aware Android does not have udev. This means that all devices are created statically, so we cannot tell if a USB device is connected by watching the /dev folder. I cannot see therefore how the "on device- added-" functionality could be used here as the device is always there. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong in this. My question is, how can I see when the USB is connected/disconnected? I thought of mountd and vold but I'm not sure whether they can be used in this case, as I think they normally for mounting partitions. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
