Android Question usb-device trouble

[EduardoElias]

Hi great people!

I am in trouble to make USB Device configuration. My app is using a USB pinpad for payments just fine.

Howeve EACH TIME that I turn on/off the device it ask for permission to use again. Giving the permission even clicking the checkbox does not change this behavior.

I tried adding the manifest code but now I am getting the following error:

)

device_filter.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<usb-device vendor-id="1753" product-id="c902"/>
</resources>

what is wrong ?

device_filter.xml

Have you added a file named device_filter.xml? Don't. The CreateResource command will create it for you.

I have not, I let it create it automatically... but even with that I still getting

"res\values\device_filter.xml:3: error: Found tag usb-device where item is expected"

only when I remove these manifest (creating the usb-device and resource) it is back working.

I need that the app does not keep asking for permission to use the USB everytime.

It should be

CreateResource(xml, device_filter.xml,
<resources>
<usb-device vendor-id="1753" product-id="c902"/>
</resources>
)

instead of

CreateResource(values, device_filter.xml,
<resources>
<usb-device vendor-id="1753" product-id="c902"/>
</resources>
)

 

[Erel]

You are correct. Apparently, I've posted several wrong snippets in the past...

 

[EduardoElias]

It should be

CreateResource(xml, device_filter.xml,
<resources>
<usb-device vendor-id="1753" product-id="c902"/>
</resources>
)

instead of

CreateResource(values, device_filter.xml,
<resources>
<usb-device vendor-id="1753" product-id="c902"/>
</resources>
)

that was fixed ! many thanks !

Possibly a copy of values.xml has been left in the 'values' folder, perhaps from previous compilations.

Try cleaning the project and/or uninstalling the current compilation from your device. Unless it is being generated somewhere else, it should disappear.
