GSM/GPRS Module native integration on Raspberry 3 with Android Things

Question

I would like to know if there is any way to make a GPRS / GSM module (SIM800L) as a "default" connection in android things that allows browsing the internet and making requests using the Android libraries.

If you can connect that GSM module to an Android Things device, I guess that it will take that connection if nothing else is configured, you may need to write a driver, but it seems doable. — shalafi, May 12 '17 at 09:55

Seems no, because as in this answer of Blundell described: the source code is not available for Developer Preview. But You can use UART and AT commands.

This is possible. I have been able to integrate SIM800L TO RPI3 running Android Things via UART and AT commands. I am however using it for sending SMS and not for Internet connectivity. I do not see an issue in achieving that as well.

Hope this answers your question.

So this would not work with an NXP Pico running Android Things? – Louis CAD Dec 17 '18 at 08:26
