[Gmecm] ALDL for Android?

[Jay Vessels]

Hi there!

I've seen OBD-II apps but nothing for older.

The interesting challenge will be the interface.  The OBD-II apps use a 
Bluetooth dongle for interfacing with the PCM.  I'm not sure what to use 
for an older PCM or ECM.

For OBD-II, the app that shows up in my searches is Torque, and 
apparently likes the scantool.net Bluetooth adapter.

I suppose one could write an Android app. for older GMECMs, using the 
USN port and a serial adapter (probably homebrew, I doubt a simple 
serial port USB adapter would work unless the Android device has a USB 
host port) but I have never developed an Android app so I don't know 
what's involved or what kind of hardware access is available to the apps.
