Android app talk to Processing - Best way?
Hi!
I am looking for opinions in the best way or a recommended way to make an Android phone talk to Processing in Win or Mac through the USB cord.
Using Processing and the Kentai library I want to make an Android app to read some sensor data and send that data to a Processing app in a Win or Mac machine. The goal is to use an Android phone as sort of a remote control.
Should I use OSC? or something else? Opinions please...
Also if you know/use any existing app to this, also let me know what you are using.
Thanks!

Maybe you can use the android mode, here: http://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/8764/unable-to-install-android-mode-for-processing-2-2-1#Item_3
Or you can use eclipse. Eclipse.org
Or you can use : https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html
Maybe i didn't explain myself.
I want to know which technology should I use to make an Android app communicate with a Processing app in a computer.
Oh sorry, maybe next time I'll keep my tips to myself. Anyways, try using a USB cable. By the way, apps are not technology, they are parts of it. They are in the computer. So, next time before you go complaining about people's advice,you can word your questions better. I don't know what you mean by best way to use a USB Cord, plugging it in to your device and computer should do the trick.
TechWiz777, I am sorry if you read my words as a complaint. I assure you that was not my intention.
Let's try again?
The same way as an arduino can "talk" to a Processing app with serial communication (https://www.processing.org/reference/libraries/serial/index.html), I am asking for opinions in what communication "technology" (here I am using the word technology in general way) should i use to make an app in a Android phone "talk" to a Processing App in a PC through a USB conection.
As initially asked, can I do this with OSC? (http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/oscp5/)
Does anybody know if OSC works with the USB cable or just over a network?
Should I use something else?
Thanks!
Okay, no problem I was playing around about the comments.
So do you want technology like what kind if cable, or software? Like a computer application?
