Android Question Will the access for USB as host be more difficult in future?

[rabiuls]

Hello,
Will the access for USB as host be more difficult in future? Specially for the Chinese devices? The example/sample application for a branded device like HTC or Samsung, may not work for a non branded Chinese device. Though both may run the same OS, like Android 4.

This will be good if a sample application work the same way on all devices. Like, application made for Windows XP would work on any WinXP running on device made by any hardware manufacturer. As long as the OS is same.

But the same is not happening for Android. One app running ok on one device may not work on another. I understand that this has nothing to do with the Basic4Android or other compiler. Rather it is hardware (device driver etc.) problem. Anyway, is there any hope to get Android devices like the WinXP mentioned before? Make one app working for any device with the same OS?

Best regards.

As long as there are obscure hardware providers this is a problem to remain. If each manufacturer keeps to the standards the problem would be obsolete. But I think that is a dream. Fortunately most of these obscure manufacturers do not go global.
