I am pretty new to Android, so bear with me. I've done a good deal of C#/C++ coding for Windows and some for iOS. But I've never done Android.
So I was wondering what do I need to connect an Android phone (we have Google Nexus 5X) directly to a Windows desktop via a cable and then send/receive text messages through it?
I'm assuming that I will need to code an interface app on the phone and then write a .NET module for Windows integration, for as long as the "connection" part is not proprietary.
PS. I know that there are online services that allow to send text messages for a small fee, but that's not what I'm interested in here. In my case I'm planning to integrate this capability with some additional software that we use here in the office.
