I have one custom made device for measuring current. This device can be connected to PC and communication is done over USB. It is based on FTDI chip. I have application written in Java and that application is using rxtxSerial.dll library and gnu.io.rxtx_2.1.7.4.jar. Now I want to port this application on my android device and I'm litte bit confused what to do that? All I have is android tablet (os version 4.1.1), OTG cable and this measuring device.

Should my device be rooted? Is there any kind of library that I can simply add to my Java Android application and read data over USB? Where to start?

I have tried to port existing application for PC using same library, but rxtxSerial.dll is missing and I can't transfer it to my android device.

I can really recommend the USB-Serial-For-Android library, it supports multiple popular usb-to-serial chips (also FTDI) and there is no rooting required. Check out the GitHub project here.

There is a project dedicated to serial communication on Android. android-serialport-api. I think, it is a good resource to start with.

FTDI also provides Android related resources.

I think there's currently only one properly maintained library for serial USB communication and it's felHR85/UsbSerial. It supports several USB chips including FTDI (see Devices Supported).

Unfortunately mik3y/usb-serial-for-android seems to be dead.

And no, you don't need to root your device for connecting to and communicating with a USB device.

EDIT: We have a maintained fork of mik3y's library. See kai-morich/usb-serial-for-android

- FTDI FT232, FT2232, ..
- Prolific PL2303
- Silabs CP2102, CP2105, ..
- Qinheng CH340
and devices implementing the USB CDC protocol like
- Arduino using ATmega32U4
- Digispark using V-USB software USB
- BBC micro:bit using ARM mbed DAPLink firmware
To connect USB to serial converters, your android device must support USB OTG aka. USB host mode. Most devices support this today, but in case of issues check with one of the various USB test apps, if host mode is enabled in your android kernel.
