Hi, I need to build a java application that will run on an android tablet pc. The app should do the following:
1. Be able to display HTMLpages 2. Display XML files (sent from a different unit) with a stylesheet My problem is how to receive these xml files to my application. The sending system is not always a PC so they dont have an ethernet port. What they do have is usually a com or a serial port (which they use to print on a lable printer). I was then thinking that I should connect my android tablet pc to the sending system via a usb cable, so I will listen to "calls" on my usb port and write the data to an xml file. As you all can read I have poor understanding on how these sort of communications work :). 1. Will this be possible on an android tablet pc. 2. What would the requirements be? USB host port etc. 3. Does the sending system need customized driver to be able to send things on ther com/serial port? 4. Which api:s would I be looking at (I've tried a lot of different usb apis, but they all seemdéd very old and I couldn't get it to work) I would very much appretiate all the information you could give me.
