[android-developers] Re: How To Use MTP-connected Devices

Hi Doug,

I can imagine that this will be more an more a problem for
applications
like yours : You cannot know in which usb mode the target device is
currently,
as this is highly vendor/manufacturer specific. You would also run
into trouble
if the user will use pictbridge. And you also not able to trigger a
mode change
because the interface to this is also specific for the manufacturer.

Would be interessted to know whether XOOM only supports MTP, but --
how far I understood Dianne in the past -- it must be at least MTP
+ADB,
otherwise Android Market will not work ?

Good luck !

Frank
