I am an extreme newbie to Android. I have a little bit of programming experience in Java and C++ that is years old now rusty, so please bear with me with this question.
I have been a Palm user for years, the main reason being because of the IR port, which is necessary for my work. 1.) Is it possible to find an IR transmitter/receiver like the one in a Palm Treo with a USB adapter? (I am not sure the different frequencies of IR, but I do know the one in the Palm's work) 2.) With the above IR/USB adapter plugged into an Android phone (I am scheduled to get a MOTODROID when they come out) is it possible to write and app that will receive and send information through the USB/ IR port at this point with Android? In other words with an existing off the shelf USB/IR port does one just program as if using the USB port, or is there anything special because it is also an IR device? The reason I ask, is in looking at the discussions here in the android groups I saw a thread about using IR with Android, and the fact that Android does not support IR as of yet, but I assume that this is straight IR, not an IR plugged into an android device via USB Thank you very much in advance to any light you can shed on this. I apologize for this being what is probably a simply question. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
