I'm looking to build an android app to connect to arduino via usb, do some text communication via virtual serial port. I've researched a few options. They all need serial libraries developed by individual developers. One of them is no longer working and another developer seems to have lots of other projects going on so I'm concerned with how much the library gets maintained. Anyway, are there any official or community maintained libraries to do serial port stuff on android? I use pyserial on any non-android non-iOS systems with great success but don't know what the equivalent on android.
What IDE and programming do you recommend? I know enough C/C++, some java and python to do the rest if you can point me where to start. Thanks.
