[android-developers] Re: digital audio input to android phone or tablet

2012-04-06 Thread droid-stricken
Sorry. Just saw " USB host mode is supported in Android 3.1 and higher. " 
on the developers website. I would like to know the answer for my remaining 
part of the question.
Thanks all.

Unfortunately, it's a real time app i.e the feed has to be continuous and i 
have a piece of device that's outputting digital audio which i need to 
direct to the android device for recording and analysis.
I have Google Nexus phone from HTC running 2.3.3 and i don't see USB host 
mode option on it. Do you think a Motorola Xoom running 4.0.3 might have 
the USB Host Mode?

And @Chris you say - " You should, *with work,* be able " - i was wondering 
what's the scope of "work" is really - are we talking about some hardware 
changes or writing a patch in software for a driver and such here? Kindly 
point me to more resources in this regard. I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

You should, with work, be able to do input digital audio with one of the 
more recent devices that has the USB host mode option and an appropriate 
USB dongle.

You could also do so via the data network, especially if you can use wifi 
or do not need to transfer in real time.

If you do not strictly need a digital audio input, it should be possible to 
build an analog matching network to couple line audio into the microphone 
channel of the headset jack (most likely a resistor for attenuation and a 
capacitor to AC couple).  This may however be mono, and might require 
optimization for device model to get best performance.
