UsbManager: Enhancements for managing USB devices and accessories
When a USB device or accessory is connected, the UsbService now asks the
user which application to associate with the device or accessory.
Applications interested in devices or accessories must specify the
devices they work with via meta-data attached to their manifest.
Permission to communicate with the device is assigned when the user chooses
the activity to use for the device.
The user has the option of clicking the "always use this application" checkbox
to make the assignment automatic in the future.
The user may later clear this preference and revoke permission for an application
to have permission to communicate with the device by clicking the "Clear defaults"
button for the activity in the Manage Applications panel in Settings.
Added class UsbResolveActivity (a subclass or ResolveActivity for choosing
an activity for a USB device or accessory)
Added UsbDeviceManager, which manages the mapping between USB devices/accessories
and applications, including default applications for devices and accessories,
and manages application permissions.
Add interface to allow Settings to clear device and accessory
preferences and permissions for an application.
Remove obsolete ACCESS_USB permission.
Add new signatureOrSystem MANAGE_USB permission to allow administrating
preferences and permissions.
Moved UsbService.java to a "usb" subdirectory, along with new classes
UsbResolveActivity and UsbDeviceManager.
