Communication between android and serial device via usb

I read a lot and looked for where to start, I saw some people do it.

  • Can I do it? can i connect a cable from my android tablet and to the serial port of hardware devices (with a USB to serial converter)?

  • Can I do this without rooting the device?

  • If I can do this, what are the steps I should follow?

Does androids api have serial port access on its usb?

I did it on my rooted Nexus 7 and using this API: http://code.google.com/p/android-serialport-api/ It took me a little time to create my own app with api. but it also comes with an already working application (including source code).
