Hi all,

Yes, thanks to Mike! He started it implementation, but does not complete it. ;)

For example, some people (e.g. on our russians forums) ask me about "non-rooted" Android support. In this case I always forward/point these people to Mike's patches (to looks and to try those patches). But this people faced with many errors in this implementation where it does not worked on their side, and then refuses from the serial ports in favor to WiFi/Bluetooth sockets. So, need to complete and to test this implementation.

I would be glad if someone could continue and complete it. But I am not able to do it himself since I am not an expert in Android. Thus this task still is "in air".

BR,
Denis

I don’t know if it is on a patch somewhere, but I did upload it. I did have a working version that used the usb-serial-for-android library. In fact I used that version on a project. There was talk of changing that to a library that I would write, but I was pulled off onto other projects at work and was unable to work on it further.

Hello,

Mike Gonza worked on a wrapper of usb-serial-for-android and provided patches a while ago but they were not accepted because usb-serial-for-android is LGPLv2.1 only:

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/83480/

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/84338/

https://github.com/mik3y/usb-serial-for-android

As a consequence, Qt has no support for non-rooted serial port on Android. AFAIK there is no alternative to usb-serial-for-android (other than reinventing it from scratch with a more acceptable license). Or is there?

Is there any chance Mike's patches are at least merged as an optional feature which is not compiled by default?

Thank you
