I need to read a file from laptop using USB connection.

Is it possible to read from our application and use it?

I checked UsbManager class but does not have any sample code to do it.

Please help me on this.

  • Why don't you read it through wifi or bluetooth app ? Commented Apr 19, 2013 at 11:37

    Usually Android device connected to computer is recognized as "Media device" or MTP. User can "send" file from computer to Android device. It is like sending something through the post office: receiver will only get what you sent him, but will not know what else you have in your possession. Commented Apr 19, 2013 at 11:41
