Public methods

getAccessoryList

public UsbAccessory[] getAccessoryList ()

Returns a list of currently attached USB accessories. (in the current implementation there can be at most one)
Requires the PackageManager#FEATURE_USB_ACCESSORY feature which can be detected using PackageManager.hasSystemFeature(String).

Returns
`UsbAccessory[]`	list of USB accessories, or null if none are attached.

getDeviceList

public HashMap<String, UsbDevice> getDeviceList ()

Returns a HashMap containing all USB devices currently attached. USB device name is the key for the returned HashMap. The result will be empty if no devices are attached, or if USB host mode is inactive or unsupported.
Requires the PackageManager#FEATURE_USB_HOST feature which can be detected using PackageManager.hasSystemFeature(String).

Returns
`HashMap<String, UsbDevice>`	HashMap containing all connected USB devices.

hasPermission

public boolean hasPermission (UsbAccessory accessory)

Returns true if the caller has permission to access the accessory. Permission might have been granted temporarily via requestPermission(android.hardware.usb.UsbAccessory, android.app.PendingIntent) or by the user choosing the caller as the default application for the accessory.
Requires the PackageManager#FEATURE_USB_ACCESSORY feature which can be detected using PackageManager.hasSystemFeature(String).

Parameters
`accessory`	`UsbAccessory`: to check permissions for

Returns
`boolean`	true if caller has permission

hasPermission

public boolean hasPermission (UsbDevice device)

Returns true if the caller has permission to access the device. Permission might have been granted temporarily via requestPermission(android.hardware.usb.UsbDevice, android.app.PendingIntent) or by the user choosing the caller as the default application for the device. Permission for USB devices of class UsbConstants#USB_CLASS_VIDEO for clients that target SDK Build.VERSION_CODES.P and above can be granted only if they have additionally the Manifest.permission.CAMERA permission.
Requires the PackageManager#FEATURE_USB_HOST feature which can be detected using PackageManager.hasSystemFeature(String).

Parameters
`device`	`UsbDevice`: to check permissions for

Returns
`boolean`	true if caller has permission

openAccessory

public ParcelFileDescriptor openAccessory (UsbAccessory accessory)

Opens a file descriptor for reading and writing data to the USB accessory.

If data is read from the InputStream created from this file descriptor all data of a USB transfer should be read at once. If only a partial request is read the rest of the transfer is dropped.
Requires the PackageManager#FEATURE_USB_ACCESSORY feature which can be detected using PackageManager.hasSystemFeature(String).

Parameters
`accessory`	`UsbAccessory`: the USB accessory to open

Returns
`ParcelFileDescriptor`	file descriptor, or null if the accessory could not be opened.

                PendingIntent pi)

Requests temporary permission for the given package to access the device. This may result in a system dialog being displayed to the user if permission had not already been granted. Success or failure is returned via the PendingIntent pi. If successful, this grants the caller permission to access the device only until the device is disconnected. The following extras will be added to pi:
