A small Android library with NDK/JNI native code for opening and reading/writing serial ports (RS-232/tty devices) on Android, plus a demo application. It was originally hosted on Google Code and has not been updated since 2015.

Use cases

  • communicate with serial devices from an Android app
  • read data from RS-232 hardware on Android
  • open /dev/ttyS0 on Android
  • connect Arduino to Android via serial
  • access tty serial port in Android NDK

When to choose

  • you need raw serial port access on Android with a minimal, proven native implementation
  • you're targeting old Android versions and don't need recent maintenance

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained code or support for newer Android security restrictions
  • you want USB-serial adapters via the Android USB host API rather than native tty devices
