Connect to computer from App? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if it would be possible to develop the ability for my application to connect to my PC to be able to access the hard drive via USB? I tried searching around for ways to implement this but I can't find anything. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing or its just not possible, not sure. So if anyone knows if or how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.

I would suppose this process to be OS specific and potentially require/be easiest with an application on the computer as well as the phone or tablet for the information to communicate back and forth.

Debated about doing that. Being as this often does require root, I felt it may be fine here. If a mod wants to move it...feel free.

[Q] Do these apps work for the Kindle Fire?

I have a Kindle Fire (that I love!) and have tried almost everything posted on this website, but so far nothing has worked.
Does anyone have a REAL solution to this issue? Sorry, I don't mean to sound rude, it's just really frustrating that I cannot get anything I've read on these forums to work.
I just want to be able to download apps from Android Market which is obviously ran by Google. I am completely at a loss here and not to tech-savvy.....
Thanks for any info that anyone can provide...

Help Please?

Okay so I recently found out that an app that I downloaded generates the verification code within my phone and sends it to the apps server before the server sends it back via text. I found a tutorial about the app, but it was on an iphone and was showing the http backend server request and apparently it works on androids too.
My question is how would I intercept the request before it is sent and find out what the verification code is? The idea behind it is to spoof a number and verify it on your phone to work. I wanted to see if it would work. I can post the website I read the tutorial on if wanted.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
You could use a packet sniffer inside your android, like
this one: hxxp://droidhacks.com/tag/wireshark/
Or you could force the packets to be routed through your computer,
This could be made with
An ad-hoc connection between a PC and your Droid. A bridge or nat service in your PC to connect the device to internet.
Install a proxy in your PC, then make the phone connect through it.
Share your PC internet through Bluetooth, Use this to connect the phone.
Then sniff the connection, use wireshark for this...
Can anyone else please help or give advice as I was not able to find the solution
bump anyone?
good luck finding help here :/
No one is going to tell you how to do this.

[Q] Phone remote control

Hello,
Just wondering whether anyone had any ideas on this.
I use a PC at work all day but quite often want to use GTalk to chat to people. Unfortunately my company blocks it so I can't use a browser to chat but obviously I can through my phone.
I used to have an HTC Desire that was rooted so that allowed me to use droidvnc to connect to my phone from my PC via vncviewer using USB(There's no wifi here).
It then meant I could type on my keyboard which makes things a whole lot easier when you're in the middle of something.
Basically now I've gone to an HTC One X I'm just wondering whether there's any app or anything that would let me do the same thing but without rooting the device as I don't want to invalidate any warranties just yet.
So in summary I'm really after a bit of software to let me remote control my phone via USB for the purpose of using GTalk or any other ideas anyone might have to get round it
Thanks
