I have a tablet, an OTG cable and a barcode reader. I know this works 
because when I start the Google app I can scan barcodes and see them on the 
screen.

I created a very simple application that starts the USB manager and checks 
how many devices are attached.

When I have a memory flash stick in the OTG cable the program shows 1. 
(correct) 

When I have a mouse in the OTG cable it shows 0. (why)

Interesting observation. When I connect the mouse to the OTG cable it works 
fine. I use it to click on the button to ask the usbManager how many 
devices are attached and the response is 0.

 When I attach a barcode reader to the OTG cable, the application goes 
through onDestroy() and then shows 0. (Why does this happen)

Basics of my program developed using Eclipse:

In onCreate() I have:

usbManager = (UsbManager)getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);

 

In onClick() I have              (there is a button on the screen):

Map<String, UsbDevice> usbDeviceList = 
sbManager.getDeviceList();Toast.makeText(this, String.format("Number of devices 
= %d", usbDeviceList.size()), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
