Oculus Rift support for Android apps

This libary is currently a side project and supports reading sensor data from the Oculus Rift

Setup

Add this to your manifest:

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" />

You also need to modify your activity in AndroidManifest.xml and add the following intent filter:

<intent-filter>
	<action android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED"
	android:resource="@xml/device_filter" />
	

I also recommend setting android:launchMode="singleTask"

Then put a file device_filter.xml in res/xml/ with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
	<usb-device vendor-id="10291" product-id="0001" />
</resources>

As the libary currently sets android:minSdkVersion="12" so should your application.

Usage

TBD

Screenshots

Compatible Devices

• Nexus 10
• Nexus 7 (obviously no HDMI output)
• Asus Transformer Prime
• ... theoretically every device with USB host and HDMI out should work with the Rift (let me know what you are using)

Debugging

Most devices will only have a single USB port so you can't debug over USB and use the Rift at the same time. Luckily you can switch to TCP/IP with the following commands while using USB connection(replace IP with your device IP):

adb tcpip 5555
adb connect 192.168.1.2:5555

You can now connect the Rift instead and still use Eclipse to push new APKs and debug the app.

Switch back to USB with adb usb
