I want connect android device to pc host in accessory mode ,and send some data from pc to android .
I read the developer's doc . It's very confused. which mode I should configure my android app? USB Device ? USB Host? USB Accessory ?
Initially, I thought I should configure my android app with Accessory mode . I add
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.accessory" /> to manifest and activity add
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_ACCESSORY_ATTACHED" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_ACCESSORY_ATTACHED"
android:resource="@xml/accessory_filter" />
but when I runing this code :
val usbManager = context.getSystemService(USB_SERVICE) as UsbManager
var usbA = usbManager.accessoryList
I get usbA =null
so I modify my code :
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED"
android:resource="@xml/device_filter" />
val usbManager = context.getSystemService(USB_SERVICE) as UsbManager
val deviceMap: HashMap<String, UsbDevice> = usbManager.deviceList
but the result is still empty
Does the prerequisite for this code to run normally is that I must have a windows application to call up the windows usb service? At this stage I just want to discover the device.
Any help is greatly appreciated
