We all know that Google announced in May 2011 a brand new Android Open Accessory standard. With the arduino-friendly ADK board and some Android APIs you can add any accessory or external hardware to your Android phone or tablets (Android 2.3.4 or above).
Please visit Google's official site for more details on how to add accessories to your Android devices: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/adk.html
That's a lot of text! Before diving into the boring code, many people would like to have a quick demo or test with their own phones. You just need to buy an ADK board and download this standard ADK DemoKit Application from Android market.The application is 100% compatible with the standard Google ADK DemoKit and is recompiled by the DIY Phone Gadgets community for easy tests:
Download ADK DemoKit From Android Market
Is this compatible only with 2.3.4 coz i cant download it with my 2.3.5 galaxy s ii...
ReplyDeletePlease recommend good Android devices for running the demokit app. Thanks
ReplyDeleteit cannot work in my Samsung Galaxy Note, it said: "Your device isn't compatible with this item"!! My Android version is 2.3.6!?
ReplyDeleteDespite of the claim that the support for host mode USB is back ported to version 2.3.3 and later, this demokit app is runnable on devices that support Google APIs (published by Google Inc., not Android Open Source Project).
ReplyDeleteYou will want to get a 'Google phone'. Samsung and HTC have some models. I have been able to make demokit working on an HTC. It is straightforward once you have the right device.
I am not sure if this is a software or hardware limitation.
OK so I have this intalled on my HTC Desire.
ReplyDeleteI hope to connect Andruino Uno using Host USB
What program do Iput on Arduino to operate the simulate functon?
