I am creating an app (running in USB accessory mode) that will recognise when a specially made device (that I am also working on) is plugged in and connect to it. I have written code in the app for this recognition to happen but now need to test it and the specially made device is not made yet.
So, I was wanting to test my app by somehow setting my PC up to be recognised as a usb host device that my phone can connect to, I spent a long time googling and looking for a way to do this or a different way to test this but came up empty.
How do I set my PC up in this way to test my app or what would be a good way to test this automatic usb connecting?
Thank you kindly,
EDIT: Even the name of a cheap device that runs in android usb host mode would be sufficient as I could still just plug that into my device to check if it is working.
I think your question is how to emulate USB Host mode with the Emulator and setting up a bridge with an emulated device on the PC. This is not possible (yet).
See Emulator documentation. In the "What's not supported section" it is said that virtual hardware is not supported for USB.
