What to do in resource XML file and in manifest if I want to get broadcast for all USB cables.
Currently the resource XML file is like this:

<resources>
<usb-accessory manufacturer="Acme, Inc" model="Whiz Banger" version="7.0" />
</resources>

Answer 1

Add this to your manifest

<receiver android:name=".YourReceiverClassName">
   <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.UMS_CONNECTED" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.UMS_DISCONNECTED" />
   </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Modify you onReceive inside yourReceiverClassName to this

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase( "android.intent.action.UMS_CONNECTED"))
{
    Log.d(TAG,"USB connected..");
}

if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase( "android.intent.action.UMS_DISCONNECTED"))
{
     Log.d(TAG,"USB connected..");
}

}
