USB for debug and for device communication #542

Closed mpiffari closed 11 months ago

mpiffari commented 11 months ago

Hello folks and @kai-morich , A simple question: do you know a way to use USB connection both for debug and for connection with an external USB device?

Jai-GAY commented 11 months ago

Connect to a device over Wi-Fi, check this out.

Use mobile hotspot if you are using window.

Hi @Jai-GAY, is this the only solution available? I've tried this in the past weeks, and it seems so slow (with a Xamarin forms app).

Someone has implemented an hw solution (maybe with particular cable connection)?

Don't think so. Power + video + data, yes . Power + data (host) + data (slave), I haven't seen one yet.

Then it could be your IDE issue not Wifi debugging. you should feedback to the IDE developer. Reasonable for Android Studio.

With external USB device the port is switched to host mode with OTG adapter. When debugging it is in slave mode with regular USB cable. I really doubt that this can be mixed.

@kai-morich thanks for your hints. So, how did you approach the problem? Did you use wi-fi debugging?

kai-morich commented 11 months ago

Yes. Use Wi-Fi debugging
