[android-developers] Re: Communication over USB with Program on Computer
Read up on ADB port forwarding. You could also I suppose drive the adb shell to do things or talk to stdin/stdout of a program running under it, I think some of the tools may actually get their data that way, but the port forwards sound like a better concept in general.

[android-developers] Re: Communication over USB with Program on Computer
When you connect the USB cable make sure that you act on the intent ACTION_UMS_CONNECTED when you mount the USB storage. After receiving the event you could tell the desktop application to send/copy files from the desktop to the sdcard of the device. The other way is not supported which means you can not mount any external storage device to your device (as long as you are not changing the framework/platform) behavior (this communication is only half duplex!) To make it more flexible you would have to introduce IP connectivity over USB (platform/framework changes required). -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
