# Android USB MIDI Driver

Android USB MIDI Driver is a library that enables Android applications to communicate with USB MIDI devices without requiring root privileges. It leverages the Android USB Host API (available on Android 3.1+) to connect to standard USB MIDI devices like synthesizers, keyboards, sequencers, and instruments. The library also supports non-standard USB MIDI devices from manufacturers like YAMAHA, Roland, and MOTU through custom device filters.

The driver provides multiple integration patterns including Activity-based, Service-based, Fragment-based, and standalone driver implementations. It supports both single and multiple device connections simultaneously, offers `javax.sound.midi` compatible classes for Java developers familiar with desktop MIDI programming, and handles all the low-level USB protocol details including virtual MIDI cables (0-15) that extend MIDI channel capabilities.

## Installation and Dependencies

Add the library to your Android project using JitPack.

```gradle
// In your root build.gradle
allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

// In your app's build.gradle
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.kshoji:USB-MIDI-Driver:0.1.14'
}
```

## AndroidManifest Configuration

Configure the manifest to enable USB host mode and set the proper activity launch mode.

```xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!-- Required for USB MIDI device access -->
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" />

    <application>
        <activity
            android:name=".MyMidiActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:launchMode="singleTask">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>
```

## AbstractSingleMidiActivity

Base Activity class for applications that connect to a single USB MIDI device. Automatically handles device attachment/detachment and provides callback methods for all MIDI events.

```java
public class MySingleMidiActivity extends AbstractSingleMidiActivity {

    // Handler for UI updates from MIDI callback threads
    private final Handler midiEventHandler = new Handler(new Handler.Callback() {
        @Override
        public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
            TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.midiEventText);
            textView.setText((String) msg.obj);
            return true;
        }
    });

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

## MidiOutputDevice - Sending MIDI Messages

The MidiOutputDevice class provides methods for sending all types of MIDI messages to connected devices. All parameters use standard MIDI ranges: cable (0-15), channel (0-15), note/velocity/values (0-127).

```java
public class MidiSender {
    private MidiOutputDevice midiOutputDevice;

    public void setOutputDevice(MidiOutputDevice device) {
        this.midiOutputDevice = device;
    }

    // Send Note On message
    public void sendNoteOn(int channel, int note, int velocity) {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            int cable = 0; // Virtual cable ID (0-15)
            midiOutputDevice.sendMidiNoteOn(cable, channel, note, velocity);
        }
    }

    // Send Note Off message
    public void sendNoteOff(int channel, int note, int velocity) {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            midiOutputDevice.sendMidiNoteOff(0, channel, note, velocity);
        }
    }

        }
    }

    // Send Program Change (instrument select)
    public void sendProgramChange(int channel, int program) {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            midiOutputDevice.sendMidiProgramChange(0, channel, program);
        }
    }

    // Send Pitch Bend
    public void sendPitchBend(int channel, int amount) {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            // amount: 0 (lowest) - 8192 (center) - 16383 (highest)
            midiOutputDevice.sendMidiPitchWheel(0, channel, amount);
        }
    }

    // Send Polyphonic Aftertouch (per-note pressure)
    public void sendPolyAftertouch(int channel, int note, int pressure) {

    // Send System Exclusive message
    public void sendSysEx(byte[] sysexData) {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            // SysEx must start with 0xF0 and end with 0xF7
            midiOutputDevice.sendMidiSystemExclusive(0, sysexData);
        }
    }

    // Send RPN (Registered Parameter Number) message
    public void sendRPN(int channel, int parameterNumber, int value) {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            // Common RPNs: 0=Pitch Bend Sensitivity, 1=Fine Tuning, 2=Coarse Tuning
            midiOutputDevice.sendRPNMessage(0, channel, parameterNumber, value);
        }
    }

    // Send NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number) message
    public void sendNRPN(int channel, int parameterNumber, int value) {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {

        }
    }

    // Transport control messages
    public void sendStart() {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            midiOutputDevice.sendMidiStart(0);
        }
    }

    public void sendStop() {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            midiOutputDevice.sendMidiStop(0);
        }
    }

    public void sendContinue() {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            midiOutputDevice.sendMidiContinue(0);
        }
    }

    public void sendTimingClock() {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            midiOutputDevice.sendMidiTimingClock(0);
        }
    }

    // Send Song Position Pointer
    public void sendSongPosition(int position) {
        if (midiOutputDevice != null) {
            // position: 0-16383 (in MIDI beats, 6 per quarter note)

    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        // Resume MIDI when app comes to foreground
        resumeMidiDevices();
    }

    // For AbstractSingleMidiActivity, use the same methods:
    // suspendMidiDevices() and resumeMidiDevices()

    // For UsbMidiDriver:

## Summary

Android USB MIDI Driver is ideal for building music applications such as synthesizers, MIDI controllers, sequencers, DAW controllers, MIDI monitors/loggers, and instruments that need to communicate with external USB MIDI hardware. The library supports multiple integration patterns: Activity-based for simple single-screen apps, Service-based for background MIDI processing, and standalone UsbMidiDriver for custom architectures. Key use cases include receiving MIDI input from keyboards and controllers to trigger sounds or control parameters, sending MIDI output to synthesizers and sound modules, building MIDI thru/routing applications, and creating `javax.sound.midi` compatible applications for cross-platform code sharing.

Integration typically involves extending one of the abstract Activity classes (AbstractSingleMidiActivity or AbstractMultipleMidiActivity), implementing the required callback methods for device attachment/detachment and MIDI events, and using MidiOutputDevice methods to send MIDI data. The library handles USB permission requests, device enumeration, and low-level USB MIDI protocol details automatically. For applications requiring background operation, MultipleMidiService provides a bound service pattern, while UsbMidiDriver offers maximum flexibility for custom implementations. The `javax.sound.midi` compatibility layer through UsbMidiSystem enables developers to use familiar Java SE MIDI APIs on Android.
