QSerialPortInfo fails to find FTDI serial port on Android

When using an FTDI USB to RS485 device on an Android tablet, QSerialPortInfo::availablePorts() returns nothing, when a device is connected.

We're using an add-on module for Android in /system/lib/modules/ftdi_sio.ko, which recognizes the FTDI device and populates /dev/ttyUSB0, however this device isn't shown by QSerialPortInfo::availablePort().

We've hard-coded the port to be /dev/ttyUSB0, but it would be nice if the availablePorts() returned the port connected to the FTDI device. Here is the code I'm using. If I remove the #ifndef statement, nothing is output to the terminal for an Android build.

<code>
port = new QSerialPort(portName);

#ifndef Q_OS_ANDROID
qDebug() << "*********Populating Serial Port(s)************";
foreach(const QSerialPortInfo &info, QSerialPortInfo::availablePorts())

{ qDebug() << "Name : " << info.portName(); qDebug() << "Description : " << info.description(); qDebug() << "Product ID : " << info.productIdentifier(); qDebug() << "Manufacturer: " << info.manufacturer(); if( info.manufacturer() == "FTDI") port->setPort(info); }

#endif
