You have always been able to connect an Android device to your computer, but until now there was no way for Android applications to interact with other hardware via USB. In this talk we cover new support in Android 3.1 for USB input devices, as well as new APIs for applications to communicate with peripherals via USB. The APIs support both Android powered devices that act as a conventional USB host, and non-host Android devices that communicates with a new class of USB hosts known as "Android USB Accessories". Cool hardware is involved.

  • Talking about Androig it really is an interesting topic.

  • If we talk bout Arduino, we talk bout succes.

    "The Arduino ADK is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560 (datasheet). It has a USB host interface to connect with Android based phones. " from stores... Hhehe )))))))

  • If we talk bout Arduino, we talk bout succes. Hhehe

  • @daimyoyo Compatible boards are available from several places. I can't believe that there isn't a single Arduino board anywhere! All you need is to squirt the code into the board and you are up and running.

  • When will the Bluetooth transport for open accessory be available? BT would have been a much better place to start since most handsets have BT before USB.

  • Google should bundle all the boards you need to do this instead of having to buy them separately. Half the boards are sold out and I really want to try this out.

  • i am a google boy. but why is google adding non standard USB behaviour to offset the issue of not supporting complete USB host capability - 20:39? Please, if the Android can be Host let it be a legitimate Host and if it can be Device let it be a legitimate Device. Circumventing the USB spec/standard is a bad idea in my opinion.

  • Hey I am selling my ADK from Google I/O... never been used and I don't dev around hardware. Let me know if anyone is interested. Email me at thepeacedout at gmail dot com or shoot me a tweet at ThePeacedOut ... I only have one so it might go fast!
