Interesting. What library are you using?
-- John.
John,
It's the felHR85 UsbSerial library. That the base library that is then wrapped
into a B4A library. It supports several different USB devices. Some with more
support than others.

Yeah that was what kept me away from attempting mComm on Android. It was
finding this library that gave me the nudge. There are some features I hope
will be added such as DSR sensing which will allow me to do more through
TELCOM/HTERM but it's been a stable library so far and I don't have to
Cool stuff thanks. When I first started looking at Android I saw serial
support so fragmented that I skipped straight to BT. But this library at
least makes good serial port across devices and kernels possible.

Willard,
Thanks for the update. I have not tried it with a Galaxy tab. I have used a
Nexus 7, Motorola Moto-X, Droid Mini and have received reports about a Nexus 5.
I'll look into the Galaxy. Maybe there is a setting for powering the OTG
devices. I know with my phone that the FTDI chip draws
Willard,
Did a little digging. Both the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 I705, and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
P3100 support OTG devices. The 7" tab 3 doesn't. From your description it
sounds like yours does support the OTG serial device but isn't passing power to
it which is strange. If you have a multi-meter handy,
It's possible that some android os's may not ship with the USB serial
driver (compiled as a module and not included).
Something to verify if you can get one of these connected to adb.

John,
The drivers are built into the library I am using. It supports an Android OS as
old as 3.1.

Yes I have OTG support, the Tab is just picky about how much power it's willing
to output. It'll power a sdcard reader or a flash drive, for instance, but
won't power a Dell USB keyboard or an Arduino Uno.
Sorry should have said, Samsung OEM Android 4.2.2 is the OS.
