AndroidAccessoryTool

Processing Tool to twiddle XML build files for Android OpenAccessory (ADK) support.

This tool will modify a sketch's AndroidManifest.xml file and create a accessory_filter.xml file to add Accessory support to the sketch. Note that this does not take care to communication with an accessory. It only registers the sketch with the android device as able to work with a specific Model, Manufacturer, and Version of an accessory.

For the actual OpenAccessory protocol communication part, check out pioio or AndroidAccessory library for Processing (COMING SOON)

Heavily borrows from TellArt's Arduino_ADK Tool.

• Processing 2.0

Check out the Processing Android mode and the official Android OpenAccessory documentation.

Install

1. Download the latest master zip.
2. Rename downloaded zip file to AndroidAccessoryTool.zip, and unzip it.
3. Copy folder to your sketchbook's tool folder (similar to how a library is hand installed, see How to Install a Contributed Library).

How to use

1. Run your sketch at least once in Android mode (to create an initial AndroidManifest.xml).
2. From the Processing menu, open Tools -> Android Accessory Tool.
3. Fill in the Model, Manufacturer, and Version fields (fields can be left blank as needed) OR select a preset from the drop-down menu.
4. Click "Write XML files" to write out the AndroidManifest.xml and accessory_filter.xml files.

Accessory support can be removed from your sketch by clicking the "Remove Accessory Support" button.
