Jun 14, 2012I have an Ainol Novo 7 Paladin tablet running android ICS 4.0.3 (rooted) that I want to use in one of my projects. And I need it to communicate with an arduino - one with FTDI or prolific PL2303 serial interface. Now I know that the Paladin should work as an USB host but I need something more. I need an high level Java library that can use this serial interface. I've worked with rxtx on a desktop machine before and that is the most complicated that I would like to get. The main reason is that I simply don't have enough knowledge to write myself an serial driver. I just need a simple character based two way communication.

Android :: Bluetooth / Serial Port Profile
Apr 21, 2009I realize that the Blue tooth API is subject to change over time and that the only available profiles are A2DP and AVCRP, but I am really interested about the options I have to develop an application using the Serial Port Profile. I don't really care if the API will later change, this application is meant to be used only by me (I am trying to communicate to a mirocontroller using Blue tooth and the only supported profiles are SPP and GAP). I am going through the /core/java/android/blue tooth/ classes at the moment but I don't see anything that refers to the SPP or otherwise. I am willing to invest time to learn and write a SPP implementation, provided I have someone to guide me. This is valuable to me because I am doing this project as a final year project so I'm not exactly waiting for someone else to do my work. In conclusion, does anyone have any suggestions on where I could start looking and studying to be able to use the SPP in an application?

Mar 8, 2010I'm working on an undergraduate level senior design project with the HTC Sprint Hero. We want to connect a device that constantly sends a serial string of data. Does anyone have any hints, tricks, or shortcuts to be able to read a serial string from the USB port and save it on the phone? I know there is not a really simple way but I'm no where near an expert in programming and wanted to see if anyone has come across anything that might help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Bluetooth Serial Port Programming.
Sep 24, 2010I may be doing some Blue tooth Serial Port programming work for a client and I'm just looking for some tips in determining complexity/ workload. The work is similar to reading from a blue tooth GPS (not making the phone a blue tooth GPS), but it is some custom hardware, so not exact. Here's what (I think) I know so far: I will need to pair devices with a Serial Port Profile. I need to connect using a Bloodsucker which works on Android 2x -I don't know yet if the Android I will be a server or a client in this scenario. I will open an InputStream (no output stream needed) and have a thread continually blocking for input I believe "BluetoothChat" is the best example to start with. What I would want to know. - Are there devices/manufacturers who block the blue tooth serial port, trying to block tethering or something like that? (-I've seen posts here that imply that, but I don't see a bunch of comments like "Doesn't work on my @#$$" in Blue tooth GPS Providers in the market). -Are there going to be hardware specific oddities, or can I develop with my Nexus One and just hope it works on everything else? -Is pairing something that will require a lot of education for the users, and would a good app try to initiate this inside their app, or just assume it is already done. -Is Blue tooth programming going to be my worst nightmare, like it sometimes was on Windows Mobile, or smoother than I could ever hope?

Sep 2, 2009I am trying to figure out if there is any way by which I can access any USB device which is connected to my Android phone's USB port and read data off it? For ex. Can I connect a camera to my phone and pull pictures out of it? I know that we need a HOST-DEVICE configuration to be able to do that... have tried doing this on other devices before picking up my android phone.. thought there would be an easier way to get this done. now, when I connect my phone to a digital picture frame, I can see on the phone that it identifies the USB device it is connected to and goes into a USB mass storage mode. What I want to know is if after this, I can read data from the frame or send data to it. I want to write an app that pulls data over USB and stores it into the phone memory.

Oct 21, 20101) What Android-compatible hardware platforms (boards, like "beagle board") can you recommend for hobby robotics? Where can I see a list of Android-friendly boards with support of serial (or parallel) connections?
We are going to move our Java ME robotics project (http:// www.RoboHobby.com) to Android platform, but what hardware to choose?
2) What can you say about support of serial connection on Android- based phones? Does it work in reality? As I remember, in the Java ME world not all cell phones manufacturers supported serial connections on their J2ME implementations. For example serial connections were supported on some models of Siemens and Sony-Ericson, but they were not supported on Nokia and Sumsung, etc.
What is going on with serial connection support in the Android World? Is this supported in reality? On which cell phones?
3) Is it possible to use on Android devices (boards) not BlueTooth/USB conection, but wired connection, like RS232 "COM" port on PC?
I see funny wordplay - Android as a Google project and Android as a human-like robot. :-)

Apr 29, 2010A buddy at work got an Incredible and he entered email address and PW and everything was set up for him automatically, full email/contacts/calendar sync, PIN lock/wipe set up.I was looking through some of the screen shots of the Incredible Exchange support, and frankly, Exchange support on the Incredible kicks the Droid's a** in this area.Image Gallery: Verizon HTC DROID Incredible; Functions and Applications | ZDNet Photo Gallery I'm impressed. HTC must have done a ton of work in this area, assuming that the basic exchange functionality in 2.1 on the Incredible is the same that comes w/2.1 on the Droid.If that support could be ported to the Droid (either as an entire ROM, or just the exchange support sliced off) that would be amazing.

Aug 16, 2010I've had an inquiry about whether my Android app can interface with a serial device via USB cable. Before I invest too much time in this path, I'd like to know: Is this even possible? Some previous threads indicate Android won't do host USB. Would it require root access and/or the NDK? Would it be better to advise the potential client to look for a serial blue tooth adapter? I can see that there is a Blue tooth Sock class which may do the job.

Android :: Generating Device Specific Serial Number
Aug 12, 2010I would like to be able to generate unique serial numbers for each Android device for use in unlocking an application. How could I do this? EDIT: The reason is I want to revamp a paid application and provide users who have paid for the old version, which will have a different package name, a way to obtain the full version by downloading an unlikable free version of the application. I would push an update to the old version that would generate and display the code that they could enter to turn the Free version into a fully functional version.

Dec 17, 2012I am new to android programming and I am trying to set a connection with the android as a host. I have included the following imports:

My problem is when I use this code :m_usbManager = (UsbManager) getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);The eclipse editor shows a message saying that getSystemService(String) is undefined for the type CPrinterCommands(The class that I am using). Quick fix gives as a solution to create a method called getSystemService, however I can't find why I would need to create a method, all the examples I found, none of them had a method getSystemService.
Android :: Communication With PC Client?
Dec 10, 2009I wrote a TCP socket client, an android application. On my emulator, it can successfully connect to a TCP sever running in my PC. But, when I deployed the the apk into my real phone, HTC g4, it dosen't work. An exception was raised said "java.net.SocketException: Network unreachable". The situation is, my handset was connected to my PC via USB, and no other connections were available. How can my android application connect to a PC server in the case. I don't know if we can use socket over usb connection. If yes, then why my application doesn't work. If no, then how?

Mar 30, 2010I have a design problem with my Android components.
My activity is starting a service which is doing the work in the background. What I want is that the service informs the activity about state changes. How can I do this?
Normally I would add an observer but the activity has no reference to the service. Then I was thinking to take AIDL but this is more for inter-process communication.
How is it possible that the service informs the activity about state changes? Both are running in the same process. What can you recommend?

Mar 19, 2009Just say I have two applications, each with one activity running on separate processes and I want to send a simple string between them. For the purposes of this example, let us say I have a button that sends whatever is typed into an EditText view to the other application where it is then displayed. Do I have to expose a remote interface via a service that co-resides between the two applications? Or can I do something simpler (is there a way to pass data between processes without defining your interface using AIDL)? Thanks for clearing this up for me, as I seem to be struggling with performing IPC at the moment. I'm pretty sure I have to use the Android IPC path and generate a remote interface using AIDL. I'm just not sure about the binding to service part.
