I would like to connect telosb sensor with my tablet and read the data from sensor. I am using Lenovo tablet (Android 3.1) but I am not able to find the correct driver for this. I tried to run the FTDI beta driver, but still the tablet doesn't recognize the device. FTDI website says that default permissions of USB device has to be modified and we need root access for it. I couldn't also root the tablet yet.
Has anyone worked on similar stuff?
Thanks,
Ashish.
Have you tried using Arduino boards to interface real world with your Android device?
Have a look at this project. I think it can be related to what you want to do. This other link is more related to the TelosB device. Hope this can be useful to you.
Did you see this link, Google has their own libraries to communicate with external devices.

i know it might be the same as this question. i am from the philippines as well but the phone mentioned in that link is a samsung which is an internationally well-known brand and i know that adb supports that brand. what i am planning and really want to buy is this locally known phone. it got a really nice specs but i am worrying that i might not be able to use it on app development. i found adb drivers on the net and installed it but i don't know how to use them with android studio. the reason why i want to use a phone for development is because my laptop slows down with i run android studio and the emulator at the same time. if some co-pinoy already know a phone that they already used for app development within the same price range of flare x, please let me know. please guys i really need help on this matter.
Any phone that allows you to enable USB-Debugging will be suitable for android development. Most developers try to stick to a phone that has a clean Android base like a Nexus or Moto X, as it rules out any interference with vendor specific changes to Android (like Samsungs TouchWiz).
See this page for further information on using a hardware device for development. Google does not recommend any specific device.
Also see this list for device vendors providing ADB drivers. If you want to play it safe, stick to these vendors.
This download page suggests that the Google provided driver is suitable for the Cherry Mobile Flare X too.
I want to know is there any way to use the input of an external camera connected with android tablet using USB into my application that is running on that tablet.
I would suggest you to try this one

I've succeeded to get this project to work with my webcame connected to my Android tablet: https://github.com/saki4510t/UVCCamera.
However, the issue is that it relies on native libraries and comes with many samples undocumented. I am myself still looking for better ways.
i am a final year student.. planning to do an android application for my final year project. I plan to do an attendance management system app for lecturers, where i plan to connect a usb fingerprint scanner to the (Lecturers) android phone/ tablet with android version 2.3 and above..using a mini USB OTG to USB 2.0 connector. The fingerprint scanner that i would be using are most probably either the Digital Persona U ARE U 4500 USB fingerprint reader or the Upek Eikon fingerprint scanner.
Im really lost and i dont know how to approach and where to start, beginning from choosing a suitable SDK and im in a doubt if the SDK might work/compatible with my android phone and also the android app which im going to create.
Please.. help me out sir,.... as the resources/info/ tips i received from lecturers and online sources were really not helpful.I really hope you will help this desperate soul out.Thank you

I think the best bet for you is neurotechnology embedded SDK for android. The SDK can actually achieve what you want to do. Goto Their Site Here
Your best bet may be to obtain a Motorola Atrix (the first version, which includes a fingerprint reader and an SDK to use it) or some other phone with the reader built-in (there may be some available now but I'm not certain).
If your only options are to use a USB-attached reader you will need to find hardware that has enough power to drive it as well as an SDK that can communicate with the sensor on Android via USB.
I would start here if you don't know much about making apps for android.

And the SDK is here, I use the plugins for eclipse which sets up everything into a nice android project for you.

According to Android Honeycomb it supports USB peripherals. I am interested in connecting a credit card reader with usb and another device. My questions are the following:
Will the Android device support a USB Hub?
How can I program to the credit card device? What would i need to ask for the development of lets say a Magtek Credit Card Reader?
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
MagTek provides an Android development kit for SCRA card readers on their support site. It includes guidance, sample code and their custom library. You should use this as a starting point. You will need a usb capable Android device to test the sample code. However, to begin with, you may want to use the Android emulator for running the software until you get your build working. If you try to use the sample code with the emulator, you will have to remove calls to the library or you will see application errors. If you need help using the emulator, I have a post on my blog which explains it here: http://www.veriserver.net/cgi/tech/?p=39
The following is what the MagTek demo program will look like on the Android 4.0 emulator if you get that far:
Once you get this far, you will be ready to load the sample program on an Android device and try it with a MagTek card reader.
Android 3.0 + supports Android USB Host and Accessory APIs.
Question is too generic to answer in this post.
Please refer to the documentation here
I am writing an Android 2.1 application that needs to get data from a USB device. The USB device is an embedded system i created. The embedded system has no OS. Also, the android device does not send any data to the embedded system.
How should i go about this, I'm guessing i will need to make a high-level driver to communicate from USB to the application. But, i have never made a Linux driver before.
If creating a high-level driver is the best way to do this, can someone give me some references so i have somewhere to start.
If there are other ways to accomplish this i would also like to hear about it
-Thanks
The Android Open Accessory Development Kit is where you should start looking. Like many of other Google's documents, the tutorial is reasonably complete and should provide you with a good starting point
Good Luck!
I think you will need to recompile Android kernel to add usb device support.
It can be an option if you are working on some dedicated project and only one Android phone should be supported. If you want to support all kinds of Android phones, I can suggest to implement USB host in your embedded system( if it is possible), thus your Android phone can be connected using ADB protocol.
