Yes, but let me make this statement more explicit. It's why you can't use it via Bluetooth. It should work via USB. The problem is that Google made a very deliberate design decision, some years ago, that it's a security risk for an app that isn't part of the base system to be able to see a device's HID descriptor. It's probably time to recheck this to see if it's still true. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://mielke.cc/xmother.html (Letter from a Feminist ex-Mother) _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
