I’m developping an Adobe Flex application.
I need to detect gps devices when plugged.
Currently, it is a bad heuristic-based detection that is used (it tries to find specific files/directories). It uses the StorageVolumeInfo to discover plugged devices.
Thus, I’d like to know if there’s a way to get the USB id with Flex.
Thx in advance
Right now, no, you can’t do it natively in Air. You could however use a third party utility application to communicate with the device (java, c++, etc). Air USB device controls will be coming eventually after Adobe did a demo of using an xbox controller to play a game.
I tried looking for a release date, but to no avail.
