An application in my pc [Which i don't have and searching for it] that can communicate with an app installed in my android powered device. My android device is connected to PC using USB cable, an example that i came around was Multi Port Terminal, tried it but doesn't seem to work.
Any help would be be deeply appreciated.

I want to connect my phone to Android studio running on my home PC over my phone cellular network 4G internet.
I've looked up the ADB documentation and saw that remote connection can be done if both the PC and the phone are on the same network so I'm guessing a solution would be to setup some kind of VPN. I'm wondering if there isn't anything simpler that can be done? Something as simple as an app or an Android Studio add-on that handles all the connections and security considerations would be nice.
I have my android tablet connected to windows pc machine through USB cable. I don't have internet connection.
I need a solution to establish a connection and transfer files from pc to android app. I think we can use Android open accessories in accessory mode. Is there a better solution to solve this problem or is android open accessories the right solution. What are the shortcomings of this solution ?
you should install the drivers for your tablet and to transfer the files using usb. Your android tablet tablet might not be recognized without drivers. Also you should store the files inside download folder to be easily visible by the pc.
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.
I've done a lot of research about rooting a device but I can not even come up to this point because my phone is not recognized by windows 8.1 at all.
My intention is to establish a usb-connection between an android-device(Samsung GT-I9506) and a pc in order to use it for phonegap. Some other devices properly work collaboratively with phonegap but this one seems to refuse all attempts.
Important points:
1. The device is charged up when connected to a pc.
2. Use-Debugging is enabled
3. All drivers are installed, furthermore it's a Samsung PC and Phone
A related topic is this one: USB connection issues
But unlike the problem in the topic above my phone does not appear in the adb-list when entering:
adb devices
I plugged my phone into another pc(Windows 8.1) as well where it was not recognized either.
Thanks in advance.
If your system installed Android ADB Interface Driver then only you can see your Device in IDE.
You can check that
Go to Control Panel
Go to Device Manager
And find Android Phone like
It turned out that the usb cable was the reason for broken communication between pc and phone.
Strange enough that this faulty cable was able to load the phone but unable to establish a communication channel to other devices.
And the moral of this story is a usb cable of a smarthphone might be faulty even if other electrial supplies are still intact.
I found the USB docs for Android and from there it seems as if one could write a communication program on an Android phone that works exactly like on a PC.
I have a normal USB-cable that normally connects between a PC and an external device. On one end it is a normal USB on the other end it has a special plug for the device.
If I get an USB female-female adapter I could connect my normal Android phone cable USB end to my device USB cable and so basically plug in my special USB cable into the Android phone.
Does anyone have experience doing USB communcation programming on Android - basically copying normal PC USB functionality? All I would have to do is sent and receive text strings over the USB port - just like on a PC.
Is this possible or is the USB port programming on Android limited in any way
and not really identical to USB programming on a PC? eg. power supply through USB or anything else?
ps on the PC I need to have a FTDI driver installed to work with the external device.
Many thanks
UPDATE:
it seems that starting with Android 3.1 it is possible to do this - however, if I understand htis correctly, Android 3.1 runs only on tablet Android devices - I might be wrong with this - compared to Apple this all this pretty confusing (however, with Apple iPhone it will never work! ;)
Yes, Android supports USB host on 3.1 and newer, so you can connect USB devices directly to an Android device using a converter cable. Android 4.0 brings this feature to handset devices.
