[android-developers] Re: Getting internet from PC via USB
Hi, Mark! Yes, I know that it is no support for this in the Android SDK. But, devices exist and some application could use go to the internet via PC. I think that it means that firmware providers supports this functionality somehow. The question is: may be someone knows how it was done?

There is no support for this in the Android SDK, sorry. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in Oslo:http://bit.ly/fjBo24 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Getting internet from PC via USB
Thank you for your answer again. I will post same question to the source group. But, the question is about Android SDK. May be someone has expirience or information which part of stardart SDK supports on these devices. I am not going to write device-specific code, but if I could solve the problem by using another standard function it will be very good. Unfortunately I have not such device and could not make tests by myself. Tina -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Unfortunately I have not such device and could not make tests by myself. There're apps to offer such feature, like PDANet for example. May be much cheaper to simply buy it instead of developing own solution with no experience in that field. -- Regards, Marcin Orlowski Tray Agenda - http://bit.ly/trayagenda -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I am not going to write device-specific code, but if I could solve the problem by using another standard function it will be very good. It should *probably* be reflected in some way in ConnectivityManager - just consider what happens if the user disables 3G and WiFi on such a device and connects it to a computer (getting a network connection like you described). Applications can check ConnectivityManager to see if there is a connection, and unless they (the developers of such devices) somehow make the computer connection visible here, such applications would not work, not seeing a network connection. That's just a guess though. Unfortunately I have not such device and could not make tests by myself. That would be a good first step - if this requirement comes from The Mgmt, ask them to provide you with such device for testing. If they do, you can run your own tests. But they might also change their mind about this requirement :) -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
