In my application am using USB host mode which gives the information about connected USB mass storage device say Usb Flash Drive in my use case.Now I need to create a file on the connected flash drive and save some data in the file. So far I have found is connecting to the device as below,
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
private Button mCheckForDevice;
private TextView mDeviceInfo;
private static final String ACTION_USB_PERMISSION = "com.android.example.USB_PERMISSION";

@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
@Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mCheckForDevice = (Button) findViewById(R.id.check);
mDeviceInfo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.deviceInfo);
count=0;
mUsbManager = (UsbManager) getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
mPermissionIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(ACTION_USB_PERMISSION), 0);
final HashMap<String, UsbDevice> deviceList = mUsbManager.getDeviceList();
Iterator<UsbDevice> deviceIterator = deviceList.values().iterator();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(ACTION_USB_PERMISSION);
registerReceiver(mUsbReceiver, filter);
while (deviceIterator.hasNext()) {
final UsbDevice device = deviceIterator.next();
mDeviceFound = device;
i += "\n" +
"DeviceID: " + device.getDeviceId() + "\n" +
"DeviceName: " + device.getDeviceName() + "\n" +
"VendorID: " + device.getVendorId() + "\n" +
"ProductID: " + device.getProductId() + "\n" +
"Serial Number: " + device.getSerialNumber() + "\n";
}
mCheckForDevice.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(deviceList.size() > 0){
checkInfo(mDeviceFound);
}else{

}
}
});
}

private int count ;
private void checkInfo(UsbDevice device) {

if(count == 1) {
mUsbManager.requestPermission(device, mPermissionIntent);

} else

// Toast.makeText(context, "onReceive", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); writeToFile("onReceive");

if (intent.getBooleanExtra(UsbManager.EXTRA_PERMISSION_GRANTED, false)) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Permission Granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
connectUsb(device);
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "permission denied for device " + device);
Toast.makeText(context, "permission denied for device" + device, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
}
};
private void connectUsb(UsbDevice device) {
if(device != null){

}
mConnection = mUsbManager.openDevice(device);

byte[] byteArray = msg.getBytes();

In the above example I have tried to send the String value to the connected device and the int value returned is number of characters sent. But Where do this information is stored on the connected device I mean location?
Is there a way to create a file on connected device once the connection to the device is established? Links to related blog posts are helpful.
I have found this on stack but the solution not helped in any way.
Any help is appreciated.Thanks.
But Where do this information is stored on the connected device I mean location?. Well you could have a look on the device by other mean.s. Then you would soon discover what changed. – greenappsmOutputEndpoint = tOut;Of both variables you dont show the type. Why did you declare them somewhere else? – greenapps
