[android-developers] Re: Android usb network
Thanks Nikolay, The point which is I will not able to convince is use of WiFI in there LAN, I agree that tablet can have pre installed keys and it is fully secure but client does not wants to open private network door with WiFi access. May be I''m over looking the problem, Does any one using devices in a private network? and how your network team manage security. Other solution I'm thinking is having a WiFi router not in private network, Device will have network with this router and then create a VPN access in device and with this VPN enter into private network. I mean the same method we use for work at home. I think VPN connection in device is feasible, The drawback of this would be low performance. But at least I will have something working. if someone highlight any link or guideline that would be really helpful or any other work around. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Android usb network
as per my understanding https or any other security method like certificates works on internet application, and in our case we do not have any application on internet it's in intranet. as such there is no need of having application on internet as it's more related to back office operation, and IT operation people never allow to give access over internet for a internal server. And about pre-installed keys, I think this may work but not easy to conveince IT infrastructure people, and personally if I'm at IT infrastructure side then I will also not allow as my entire network can be hacked with just one network key, with wired connection some have to connect phycially. And building security infrastructure for using tablet is out of scope. I see on some post that few device are comming with dock for wired connection and also there are some usb ethernet adapter available, I don't know if it's possible to connect using such adapter. I don't know much about networking but a normal usb dongle can do networking then how come it's not easy to do same with an device -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Android usb network
sounds better needs to find tablet with physical Ethernet connection. About wired tablet, The merit what we see is a user can work offline, tablet will be handy and environment we are trying to build is a single portable solution without having complexity of data synchronization process for user (offcource as application developer complexity remain with us) An user work in offline mode, collect data from market wherever, come to office connect his device to Lan and visualize his data with server application, and process his data. isn't simple ? instead of working with computer when he is in office and with tablet when outside. also it take just half an hour to learn mobile functionality and may take much time to learn computer (and users of our application will not need computer background) An WiFi do the job but it's not secure, (imagine if someone shared network key) I mean our client does not want a WiFi and that's reason we are looking alternative.

I think here is the answer what I'm looking but this solution is given for connecting to device's network and I'm looking reverse http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182134 Under USB Tethering with Windows XP I will try this and see if device can also use PC's network.

[android-developers] Re: Android usb network
Thanks Robert, - I'm developing a application on Android 4.0 ideally this will work on any android supported device, as of now we do not wants to put any hardware restriction but if require we can have hardware dependancy. I mean we thought of running application on any android device but if require we put restriction saying this can work on device with this configurations. The application is a very simple user registration application The requirement what we have is, our users do not wants a wifi network they wants a physicial connection to device for network (for security reason) we will put tablet at multiple location in my clients network with physical connection. If we really need then we can put multiple PC as well for connecting device to network, just need network in my Tablet without wifi and Tablet should be able to charge at same time. The device we are going to use will be latest one. where can i found EthernetStateTracker class ?

[android-developers] Android usb network
Hi All, I'm looking a good way to bring Android device in intranet using USB, what I want is to connect my Android tablet to a PC in network and then work on Tablet as a PC. In that way I can take print from a network printer also take adventage of better network connection within my network. Just to give a idea, I'm developing a application which runs in Intranet and few user will have Tablet as interface and few user will have deskstop as interface. Tablet user should be able to work just like a desktop user but with rich user interface so that user can just work with there fingers insted of keyboard/mouce. please point me to right direction,links. as long as possible I do not wants to create any dependancy to third party application for this purpose. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
