I am trying to detect USB connection in my app, that is, whether or not USB is connected to device.
It's being tested on Marshmallow 6.0.1 (sdk23)
But I'm unable to receive the broadcast actions ACTION_USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED or ACTION_USB_DEVICE_DETACHED..
I tried using both the dynamic way and the AndroidManifest.xml way, neither worked..
Here's my code:
AndroidManifest.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.gokulnc.blah_blah"
android:installLocation="auto"
android:versionCode="15"
android:versionName="1.5.1">
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" />
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="14"
android:targetSdkVersion="23" />
<android:uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USB_PERMISSION" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:vmSafeMode="false">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/DrawerTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<receiver android:name="mUsbReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_DETACHED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
MainActivity.java :
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
BroadcastReceiver mUsbReceiver;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
.....
setBroadcastReceivers();
}
void setBroadcastReceivers() {
//Reference: http://www.codepool.biz/how-to-monitor-usb-events-on-android.html
mUsbReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Received Broadcast: "+action);
if (UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED.equals(action) || UsbManager.ACTION_USB_ACCESSORY_ATTACHED.equals(action)) {
updateUSBstatus();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "USB Connected..");
} else if (UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_DETACHED.equals(action) || UsbManager.ACTION_USB_ACCESSORY_DETACHED.equals(action)) {
UsbDevice device = (UsbDevice)intent.getParcelableExtra(UsbManager.EXTRA_DEVICE);
if (device != null) {
updateUSBstatus();
}
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "USB Disconnected..");
}
}
};
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED);
filter.addAction(UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_DETACHED);
//filter.addAction(UsbManager.ACTION_USB_ACCESSORY_ATTACHED);
//filter.addAction(UsbManager.ACTION_USB_ACCESSORY_DETACHED);
registerReceiver(mUsbReceiver , filter);
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "mUsbReceiver Registered");
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "App Resumed..");
//Refernce: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18015656/cant-receive-broadcast-intent-of-usbmanager-action-usb-device-attached-usbmanag
Intent intent = getIntent();
if (intent != null) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED)) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Attached", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if(intent.getAction().equals(UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_DETACHED)) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Detached", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
}
I also checked this answer: Can't receive broadcast Intent of UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED/UsbManager.ACTION_USB_DEVICE_DETACHED, but it didn't help..
Can someone please point out where I'm wrong??
Maybe the reason it doesn't work is that since Android 6.0, the default USB mode is Charging and, maybe ACTION_USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED
doesn't get fired up when connected in that mode..
Instead, now I have another solution:
String usbStateChangeAction = "android.hardware.usb.action.USB_STATE";
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Received Broadcast: "+action);
if(action.equalsIgnoreCase(usbStateChangeAction)) { //Check if change in USB state
if(intent.getExtras().getBoolean("connected")) {
// USB was connected
} else {
// USB was disconnected
}
}
}
That is, the broadcast android.hardware.usb.action.USB_STATE
is sent whenever there is a toggle in the USB state.
Unlike android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED
which is broadcasted only when something like a MTP mode is enable, android.hardware.usb.action.USB_STATE
is broadcasted whenever it detects an USB connection that's capable of connecting to a host (say computer), irrespective of its current USB Mode like Charging, MTP or whatever.. (it's called USB config to be more precise)
Here the perfect steps to check that external usb connection occur or not in android activity. Just Follow the steps one by one.
In Android Manifest file:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USB_PERMISSION" />
Inside your USB checking Activity Tag:
<activity android:name=".USBEnabled">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED"
android:resource="@xml/device_filter" />
</activity>
Inside your connectivity checking USBEnabled class :
public class USBEnabled extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final String TAG = "UsbHost";
TextView mDeviceText;
Button mConnectButton;
UsbManager mUsbManager;
UsbDevice mDevice;
PendingIntent mPermissionIntent;
private static final int REQUEST_TYPE = 0x80;
private static final int REQUEST = 0x06;
private static final int REQ_VALUE = 0x200;
private static final int REQ_INDEX = 0x00;
private static final int LENGTH = 64;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_usbenabled);
mDeviceText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_status);
mConnectButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_connect);
mUsbManager = (UsbManager) getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
}
@Override
protected void onRestart() {
super.onRestart();
recreate();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mPermissionIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(ACTION_USB_PERMISSION), 0);
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(ACTION_USB_PERMISSION);
registerReceiver(mUsbReceiver, filter);
updateDeviceList();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
unregisterReceiver(mUsbReceiver);
}
public void onConnectClick(View v) {
if (mDevice == null) {
return;
}
mUsbManager.requestPermission(mDevice, mPermissionIntent);
}
private static final String ACTION_USB_PERMISSION = "com.android.recipes.USB_PERMISSION";
private final BroadcastReceiver mUsbReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (ACTION_USB_PERMISSION.equals(action)) {
UsbDevice device = (UsbDevice) intent.getParcelableExtra(UsbManager.EXTRA_DEVICE);
if (intent.getBooleanExtra(UsbManager.EXTRA_PERMISSION_GRANTED, false)
&& device != null) {
getDeviceStatus(device);
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "permission denied for device " + device);
}
}
}
};
private void getDeviceStatus(UsbDevice device) {
UsbDeviceConnection connection = mUsbManager.openDevice(device);
byte[] buffer = new byte[LENGTH];
connection.controlTransfer(REQUEST_TYPE, REQUEST, REQ_VALUE, REQ_INDEX,
buffer, LENGTH, 2000);
connection.close();
}
private void updateDeviceList() {
HashMap<String, UsbDevice> connectedDevices = mUsbManager
.getDeviceList();
if (connectedDevices.isEmpty()) {
mDevice = null;
mDeviceText.setText("No Devices Currently Connected");
mConnectButton.setEnabled(false);
} else {
for (UsbDevice device : connectedDevices.values()) {
mDevice = device;
}
mDeviceText.setText("USB Device connected");
mConnectButton.setEnabled(true);
}
}}
Inside your class xml file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_connect"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="onConnectClick"
android:text="Connect" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text_status"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="22dp" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text_data"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="22dp" />
</LinearLayout>
Now create a new resource directory called xml and create new xml file called device_filter.xml with the following code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<usb-device />
</resources>
Debug and run the application, it will show external usb device connectivity status without any error. I hope you will get output for your scenario.
Enjoy!!
