External Hardware Info

Question

is there is any possibility to check what are the external hardware where connected in computer

Getting the status of each hardware is online or offline

Answer 1

You may have to take help of linux kernel so I think just execute one simple command that can give you list of devices connected to your device

Here it is

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cat /proc/devices");
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));

or you can use udevinfo I dont know in details about it but google is there for you

Answer 2

If you have honeycomb or above use the USB Manager Service

    UsbManager manager = (UsbManager) getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
    HashMap<String, UsbDevice> devices = manager.getDeviceList();

Answer 3

To do this you need to run an external program using Runtime.exec().

There are plenty of examples of how to do this for Windows and Unix, but for Android I suspect another command is required.
