How can I use SIGRTMIN + X Signals in Andorid NDK for Usb ISOCHRONOUS Transfers

[sunder kandasamy]

I am attempting to Submit ISOCHRONOUS URB in Android NDK in C.

usbdevfs_urb&   urbRequest      = *(usbdevfs_urb*)malloc( 384 );
urbRequest.type                 = USBDEVFS_URB_TYPE_ISO;
urbRequest.endpoint             = mpEndpoint->GetEndpointAddress();//mpEndpoint->GetEndpointIndex();
urbRequest.status               = 0;
urbRequest.flags                = USBDEVFS_URB_ISO_ASAP;
urbRequest.buffer               = pData;
urbRequest.buffer_length        = 0;
urbRequest.actual_length        = 0;
urbRequest.start_frame          = 0;
urbRequest.number_of_packets    = 1;
urbRequest.error_count          = 0;
urbRequest.signr                = SIGRTMIN;
urbRequest.usercontext          = pData;

usbdevfs_iso_packet_desc* pIsoPacketDesc    = &urbRequest.iso_frame_desc[0];
pIsoPacketDesc->length          = 384;
pIsoPacketDesc->actual_length   = 0;
pIsoPacketDesc->status          = 0;


ioctl( fd, USBDEVFS_SUBMITURB, &usbRequest);

In the above code, I want to set SIGRTMIN signal for urbRequest.signr. So that i can get the SIGRTMIN signal on URB completion and i can call REAP URB after

But in Android i am not getting the SIGRTMIN signal at all. Instead my app gets killed without any exception

is there any way i can use SIGRTMIN signal for submitting URB in Android?

Note: I tried using SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 signals but ART is catching those signals

is there anyway to do isochronous, interrupt, bulk transfer (using non blocking asynchronous IO) in Android?
