UDOO Android ADK Hello World!

UDOO Android ADK Hello World!

In the video you can see Android that detects the Arduino DUE embedded on UDOO as an accessory device through the AOA protocol.

We made an app using the ADK that enables the communication between Android and the Arduino DUE embedded on UDOO through the USB OTG bus. On the Arduino side, there's a sketch that handles inputs from the iMX6 and switch the LED when the ON/OFF button on the Android's app is clicked.

Professional Android Open Accessory Programming with Arduino

Learn how to control your home or car from your Android smartphone - air conditioning, lights, entertainment systems, and more!

Android Open Accessory is a new, simple, and secure protocol for connecting any microcontroller-empowered device to an Android smartphone or tablet. This Wrox guide shows Android programmers how to use AOA with Arduino, the microcontroller platform, to control such systems as lighting, air conditioning, and entertainment systems from Android devices. Furthermore, it teaches the circuit-building skills needed to create games and practical products that also take advantage of Android technology.

• Explains how to code both Android and Arduino elements of an accessory
• Features four complete projects developers can build using various sensors and indicators/actuators, including source code
• Gives Android developers the tools to create powerful, sophisticated projects

Professional Android Open Accessory with Android ADK and Arduino opens exciting new opportunities for Android developers.

About Android Open Accessory

Android Open Accessory support allows external USB hardware (an Android USB accessory) to interact with an Android-powered device in a special accessory mode. When an Android-powered powered device is in accessory mode, the connected accessory acts as the USB host (powers the bus and enumerates devices) and the Android-powered device acts in the USB accessory role. Android USB accessories are specifically designed to attach to Android-powered devices and adhere to the Android Open Accessory Protocol, that allows them to detect Android-powered devices that support accessory mode. Accessories must also provide 500mA at 5V for charging power. Many previously released Android-powered devices are only capable of acting as a USB device and cannot initiate connections with external USB devices. Android Open Accessory support overcomes this limitation and allows you to build accessories that can interact with an assortment of Android-powered devices by allowing the accessory to initiate the connection.

Note: Accessory mode is ultimately dependent on the device's hardware and not all devices support accessory mode. Devices that support accessory mode can be filtered using a element in your corresponding application's Android manifest. For more information, see the USB Accessory developer guide.

Android Open Accessory support is included in Android 3.1 (API Level 12) and higher, and supported through an Add-On Library in Android 2.3.4 (API Level 10) and higher.
