Will rockboxed players show up as drives if connected to android devices on usb?

(1/1)

Im not looking to run rockbox on android, or even run the installer on android- just wondering if my devices (sansa 200  and 5.5gen ipod) would appear as a drive (like they do in windows) if connected to an android tablet with a usb port?
Thanks! IE

saratoga:
Assuming your tablet can act as a USB host device, it should work.  You won't be able to run rockbox utility on Android though as it has never been ported to that OS.

cereal_killer:
I cant think of any reason, why the device would not show up as a drive. I never tried Android, but on Linux I can see my rockboxed players as a drive.

By the way there is Rockbox as an Application (RaaA) for Android. See here: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AndroidPort and for .apk files see here: http://rasher.dk/rockbox/android/

Greetings

Thats what I was thinking/hoping. (that if it can host it should work) I just havent got my hands on a tablet that can host yet to find out... just trying to see if anyone has actually done it...

evilnick:
I've tried this on an Asus TF700 (the Transformer Infinity) and the Gigabeat F40 appeared as a drive as expected.

So the answer is: yes, RB devices do show up as standard storage :)
