For a summary of the API, see the +<a href="{@docRoot}sdk/android-2.3.3.html">Android 2.3.3 version notes</a>.</p> + + +<h2 id="openaccessory">Open Accessory Library</h3> + +<p><em>Open Accessory</em> is a new capability for integrating +connected peripherals with applications running on the platform. The capability +is based on a USB (Universal Serial Bus) stack built into the platform and an +API exposed to applications. Peripherals that attach to Android-powered devices +as accessories connect as USB hosts. </p> + +<p>Open Accessory is introduced in <a +href="{@docRoot}sdk/android-3.1.html#usb">Android 3.1</a> (API level 12), but is +made available to devices running Android 2.3.4 by means of an optional external +library, the Open Accessory Library. The library exposes a framework API that +lets applications discover, communicate with, and manage a variety of device +types connected over USB. It also provides the implementation of the API against +parts of the Android platform that are not directly exposed to applications in +Android 2.3.4.</p> + +<p>The Open Accessory Library is optional on any given device. Device +manufacturers may choose whether to include the Open Accessory Library in their +products or exclude it. The library is forward-compatible with Android 3.1, so +applications developed against Android 2.3.4 will run properly on devices +running Android 3.1, if those devices support USB accessories. </p> + +<p>The API provided by the Open Accessory Library is based on the Open Accessory +API provided in Android 3.1. In most areas, you can use the same techniques and +APIs. However, developing for the Open Accessory Library on Android 2.3.4 differs +from the standard USB API in these ways: + +<ul> +<li>Obtaining a {@link android.hardware.usb.UsbManager} object — To obtain +a {@link android.hardware.usb.UsbManager} object when using the add-on library, +use the helper method <code>getInstance()</code> rather than {@link +android.content.Context#getSystemService(java.lang.String) getSystemService()} +For example: + +<pre>UsbManager manager = UsbManager.getInstance(this);</pre></li> + +<li>Obtaining a {@link android.hardware.usb.UsbAccessory} from a filtered intent +— When you filter for a connected device or accessory with an intent +filter, the {@link android.hardware.usb.UsbAccessory} object is contained +inside the intent that is passed to your application. If you are using the +add-on library, you can get the {@link android.hardware.usb.UsbAccessory} object +in the following manner: + +<pre>UsbAccessory accessory = UsbManager.getAccessory(intent)</pre></li> + +<li>No USB host support — Android 2.3.4 and the Open Accessory Library do +not support USB host mode (for example, through {@link +android.hardware.usb.UsbDevice}), although USB host mode is supported in Android +3.1. An Android-powered device running Android 2.3.4 can not function as a USB +host. The library enables the Android-powered device to function as +a peripheral only, with the connected accessory functioning as USB host +(through {@link android.hardware.usb.UsbAccessory}).</li> +</ul> + +<p>To develop apps using the Open Accessory Library, you need:</p> + +<ul> +<li>The latest version of the Android SDK tools</li> +<li>The latest version of the Google APIs add-on, which includes the library +itself (for linking)</li> +<li>An actual hardware device running Android 2.3.4 (or Android 3.1) with USB +accessories support, for runtime testing against connected devices</li> +</ul> + +<p>For a full discussion of how to develop applications that interact with USB +accessories, please see the related <a +href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/usb/index.html">developer documentation</a>.</p> + +<p>Additionally, developers can request filtering on Android Market, such that +their applications are not available to users whose devices do not provide the +appropriate accessory support. To request filtering, add the element below +to the application manifest:</p> + +<pre><uses-feature + android:name="android.hardware.usb.accessory" + android:required="true"></pre> + + +<h2 id="api-level">API Level</h2> + +<p>The Android 2.3.4 platform does <em>not</em> increment the API level — +it uses the same API level as Android 2.3.3, API level 10. + +<p>To use APIs introduced in API level 10 in your application, +you need compile the application against the Android library that is provided in +the latest version of the Google APIs Add-On, which also includes the Open +Accessory Library.</p> + +<p>Depending on your needs, you might +also need to add an <code>android:minSdkVersion="{@sdkPlatformApiLevel}"</code> +attribute to the <code><uses-sdk></code> element in the application's +manifest. If your application is designed to run only on Android 2.3.3 and higher, +declaring the attribute prevents the application from being installed on earlier +versions of the platform.</p> + +<p>For more information about how to use API Level, see the <a +href="{@docRoot}guide/appendix/api-levels.html">API Levels</a> document. </p> + +<h2 id="apps">Built-in Applications</h2> + +<p>The system image included in the downloadable platform provides these +built-in applications:</p> + +<table style="border:0;padding-bottom:0;margin-bottom:0;"> +<tr> +<td style="border:0;padding-bottom:0;margin-bottom:0;"> +<ul> +<li>Browser</li> +<li>Calculator</li> +<li>Camera</li> +<li>Clock</li> +<li>Contacts</li> +<li>Cusom Locale</li> +<li>Dev Tools</li> +<li>Downloads</li> +<li>Email</li> +</ul> +</td> +<td style="border:0;padding-bottom:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-left:5em;"> +<ul> +<li>Gallery</li> +<li>IMEs for Japanese, Chinese, and Latin text input</li> +<li>Messaging</li> +<li>Music</li> +<li>Phone</li> +<li>Search</li> +<li>Settings</li> +<li>Spare Parts (developer app)</li> +<li>Speech Recorder</li> +</ul> +</td> +</tr> +</table> + + +<h2 id="locs" style="margin-top:.75em;">Locales</h2> + +<p>The system image included in the downloadable SDK platform provides a variety of +built-in locales.

Using the APIs, developers can create applications that are able to +discover, communicate with, and manage a variety of device types connected over +USB. </p> + +<p>The stack and APIs distinguish two basic types of USB hardware, based on +whether the platform iself is acting as host or the external hardware is acting +as host: </p> + +<ul> +<li>A <em>USB device</em> is a piece of connected hardware that depends on the +Android-powered device to serve as host. For example, most input devices, mice, +and joysticks are USB devices, as are many cameras, hubs, and so on.</li> +<li>A <em>USB accessory</em> is a piece of connected hardware that has a USB +host controller, provides power, and is designed to communicate with +Android-powered devices over USB, A variety of peripherals can connect as +accessories, from robotics controllers to musical equipment, exercise bicycles, +and more.</li> +</ul> + +<p>For both types — USB devices and USB accessories — the +platform's USB APIs support discovery by intent broadcast when attached or +detached, as well as standard interfaces, endpoints, and transfer modes +(control, bulk, and interrupt).</p> + +<p>The USB APIs are available in the package {@link android.hardware.usb}. The +central class is {@link android.hardware.usb.UsbManager}, which provides +helper methods for identifying and communicating with +both USB devices and USB accessories. Applications can acquire an instance of +{@link android.hardware.usb.UsbManager} and then query for the list of attached +devices or accessories and then communicate with or manage them. +{@link android.hardware.usb.UsbManager} also declares intent actions that the +system broadcasts, to announce when a USB device or accessory is attached or +detached.</p> + +<p>Other classes include:</p> + +<ul> +<li>{@link android.hardware.usb.UsbDevice}, a class representing external +hardware connected as a USB device (with the Android-powered device acting as +host).</li> +<li>{@link android.hardware.usb.UsbAccessory}, representing external hardware +connected as the USB host (with the Android-powered device acting as a USB +device).</li> +<li>{@link android.hardware.usb.UsbInterface} and {@link +android.hardware.usb.UsbEndpoint}, which provide access to standard USB +interfaces and endpoints for a device.</li> +<li>{@link android.hardware.usb.UsbDeviceConnection} and {@link +android.hardware.usb.UsbRequest}, for sending and receiving data and control +messages to or from a USB device, sychronously and asynchronously. +<li>{@link android.hardware.usb.UsbConstants}, which provides constants for +declaring endpoint types, device classes, and so on.</li> +</ul> + +<p>Note that although the USB stack is built into the platform, actual support +for USB host and open accessory modes on specific devices is determined by +their manufacturers.

The new API makes it easy for an +application to receive notifications when devices are attached and removed, +manage files and storage on those devices, and transfer files and metadata to +and from them. The MTP API implements the PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) subset +of the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) specification.</p> + +<p>The MTP API is available in the {@link android.mtp} package and provides +these classes: </p> + +<ul> + <li>The {@link android.mtp.MtpDevice} encapsulates an MTP device that is +connected over the USB host bus. An application can instantiate an object of +this type and then use its methods to get information about the device and +objects stored on it, as well as opening the connection and transferring data. +Some of the methods include: + <ul> + <li>{@link android.mtp.MtpDevice#getObjectHandles(int, int, int) +getObjectHandles()} returns a list of handles for all objects on the device that +match a specified format and parent. To get information about an object, an +application can pass a handle to {@link android.mtp.MtpDevice#getObjectInfo(int) +getObjectInfo()}.</li> + <li>{@link android.mtp.MtpDevice#importFile(int, java.lang.String) +importFile()} lets an application copy data for an object to a file in external +storage. This call may block for an arbitrary amount of time depending on the +size of the data and speed of the devices, so should be made from a spearate +thread.</li> + <li>{@link +android.mtp.MtpDevice#open(android.hardware.usb.UsbDeviceConnection) open()} +lets an application open a connected MTP/PTP device. </li> + <li>{@link android.mtp.MtpDevice#getThumbnail(int) getThumbnail()} returns +the thumbnail of the object as a byte array. </li> + </ul> + </li> + <li>{@link android.mtp.MtpStorageInfo} holds information about about a storage +unit on an MTP device, corresponding to the StorageInfo Dataset described in +section 5.2.2 of the MTP specification. Methods in the class let an application +get a storage unit’s description string, free space, maximum storage capacity, +storage ID, and volume identifier.</li> + <li>{@link android.mtp.MtpDeviceInfo} holds information about an MTP device +corresponding to the DeviceInfo Dataset described in section 5.1.1 of the MTP +specification. Methods in the class let applications get a device’s +manufacturer, model, serial number, and version.</li> + <li>{@link android.mtp.MtpObjectInfo} holds information about an object stored +on an MTP device, corresponding to the ObjectInfo Dataset described in section +5.3.1 of the MTP specification. Methods in the class let applications get an +object’s size, data format, association type, creation date, and thumbnail +information.</li> + <li>{@link android.mtp.MtpConstants} provides constants for declaring MTP file +format codes, association type, and protection status.</li> +</ul> + +<h3 id="motionevents">Support for new input devices and motion events</h3> + +<p>Android 3.1 extends the input subsystem to support new input devices and new +types of motion events, across all views and windows. Developers can build on +these capabilities to let users interact with their applications using mice, +trackballs, joysticks, gamepads, and other devices, in addition to keyboards and +touchscreens. </p> + +<p>For handling mouse, scrollwheel, and trackball input, the platform supports +two new motion event actions:</p> +<ul> +<li>{@link android.view.MotionEvent#ACTION_SCROLL}, which describes the pointer +location at which a non-touch scroll motion, such as from a mouse scroll wheel, +took place. In the MotionEvent, the value of the {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_HSCROLL} and {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_VSCROLL} axes specify the relative scroll +movement. </li> +<li>{@link android.view.MotionEvent#ACTION_HOVER_MOVE}, reports the current +position of the mouse when no buttons are pressed, as well as any intermediate +points since the last <code>HOVER_MOVE</code> event. Hover enter and exit +notifications are not yet supported.</li> +</ul> + +<p>To support joysticks and gamepads, the {@link android.view.InputDevice} class +includes these new input device sources:</p> +<ul> +<li>{@link android.view.InputDevice#SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK} — the source +device has joystick axes.</li> +<li>{@link android.view.InputDevice#SOURCE_CLASS_BUTTON} — the source +device has buttons or keys.</li> +<li>{@link android.view.InputDevice#SOURCE_GAMEPAD} — the source device +has gamepad buttons such as {@link android.view.KeyEvent#KEYCODE_BUTTON_A} +or {@link android.view.KeyEvent#KEYCODE_BUTTON_B}. Implies +{@link android.view.InputDevice#SOURCE_CLASS_BUTTON}</li> +<li>{@link android.view.InputDevice#SOURCE_JOYSTICK} — the source device +has joystick axes. Implies SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK.</li> +</ul> + +<p>To describe motion events from these new sources, as well as those from mice +and trackballs, the platform now defines axis codes on {@link +android.view.MotionEvent}, similar to how it defines key codes on {@link +android.view.KeyEvent}. New axis codes for joysticks +and game controllers include +{@link android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_HAT_X}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_HAT_Y}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_RTRIGGER}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_ORIENTATION}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_THROTTLE}, and many others. +Existing {@link android.view.MotionEvent} axes are represented by {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_X}, {@link android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_Y}, +{@link android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_PRESSURE}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_SIZE}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_TOUCH_MAJOR}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_TOUCH_MINOR}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_TOOL_MAJOR}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_TOOL_MINOR}, and {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_ORIENTATION}.</p> + +<p>Additionally, {@link android.view.MotionEvent} defines a number of generic +axis codes that are used when the framework does not know how to map a +particular axis. Specific devices can use the generic axis codes to pass custom +motion data to applications. For a full list of axes and their intended +interpretations, see the {@link android.view.MotionEvent} class documentation. +</p> + +<p>The platform provides motion events to applications in batches, so a single +event may contain a current position and multiple so-called historical movements. +Applications should use {@link android.view.MotionEvent#getHistorySize()} to get +the number of historical samples, then retrieve and process all historical +samples in order using {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#getHistoricalAxisValue(int, int, int) +getHistoricalAxisValue()}. After that, applications should process the current +sample using {@link android.view.MotionEvent#getAxisValue(int) getAxisValue()}. +</p> + +<p>Some axes can be retrieved using special accessor methods. For example, +instead of calling {@link android.view.MotionEvent#getAxisValue(int) +getAxisValue()}, applications can call {@link android.view.MotionEvent#getX(int) +getX()}. Axes that have built-in accessors include {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_X}, {@link android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_Y}, +{@link android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_PRESSURE}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_SIZE}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_TOUCH_MAJOR}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_TOUCH_MINOR}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_TOOL_MAJOR}, {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_TOOL_MINOR}, and {@link +android.view.MotionEvent#AXIS_ORIENTATION}.</p> + +<p>Each input device has a unique, system-assigned ID and may also provide +multiple sources. When a device provides multiple sources, more than one source +can provide axis data using the same axis. For example, a touch event coming +from the touch source uses the X axis for screen position data, while a joystick +event coming from the joystick source will use the X axis for the stick position +instead. For this reason, it's important for applications to interpret axis +values according to the source from which they originate. When handling a motion +event, applications should use methods on the {@link android.view.InputDevice} +class to determine the axes supported by a device or source. Specifically, +applications can use {@link android.view.InputDevice#getMotionRanges() +getMotionRanges()} to query for all axes of a device or all axes of a given +source of the device. In both cases, the range information for axes returned in +the {@link android.view.InputDevice.MotionRange} object specifies the source for +each axis value.</p> + +<p>Finally, since the motion events from joysticks, gamepads, mice, and +trackballs are not touch events, the platform adds a new callback method for +passing them to a {@link android.view.View} as "generic" motion events. +Specifically, it reports the non-touch motion events to +{@link android.view.View}s through a call to {@link +android.view.View#onGenericMotionEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) +onGenericMotionEvent()}, rather than to {@link +android.view.View#onTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) +onTouchEvent()}.</p> + +<p>The platform dispatches generic motion events differently, depending on the +event source class. {@link android.view.InputDevice#SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER} events +go to the {@link android.view.View} under the pointer, similar to how touch +events work. All others go to the currently focused {@link android.view.View}. +For example, this means a {@link android.view.View} must take focus in order to +receive joystick events. If needed, applications can handle these events at the +level of Activity or Dialog by implementing {@link +android.view.View#onGenericMotionEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) +onGenericMotionEvent()} there instead.</p> + +<p class="note">To look at a sample application that uses joystick motion +events, see <a +href="{@docRoot}resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/ +GameControllerInput.html">GameControllerInput</a> and <a +href="{@docRoot}resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/ +GameView.html">GameView</a>.</p> + +<h3>RTP API</h3> + +<p>Android 3.1 exposes an API to its built-in RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) +stack, which applications can use to manage on-demand or interactive data +streaming. In particular, apps that provide VOIP, push-to-talk, conferencing, +and audio streaming can use the API to initiate sessions and transmit or receive +data streams over any available network.</p> + +<p>The RTP API is available in the {@link android.net.rtp} package. Classes +include: </p> +<ul> +<li>{@link android.net.rtp.RtpStream}, the base class of streams that send and +receive network packets with media payloads over RTP.</li> +<li>{@link android.net.rtp.AudioStream}, a subclass of {@link +android.net.rtp.RtpStream} that carries audio payloads over RTP.</li> +<li>{@link android.net.rtp.AudioGroup}, a local audio hub for managing and +mixing the device speaker, microphone, and {@link android.net.rtp.AudioStream}.</li> +<li>{@link android.net.rtp.AudioCodec}, which holds a collection of codecs that +you define for an {@link android.net.rtp.AudioStream}.</li> +</ul> + +<p>To support audio conferencing and similar usages, an application instantiates +two classes as endpoints for the stream:</p> + +<ul> +<li>{@link android.net.rtp.AudioStream} specifies a remote endpoint and consists +of network mapping and a configured {@link android.net.rtp.AudioCodec}.</li> +<li>{@link android.net.rtp.AudioGroup} represents the local endpoint for one +or more {@link android.net.rtp.AudioStream}s.
