Description by Independent Agent (from Google Play)
Plug the HackRF into the USB port and use this app to capture and replay signals from frequencies within the range of 1 Mhz to 6 Ghz. The original source code came from Dennis Mantz at https://github.com/demantz/hackrf_android. This version includes GUI buttons and preselected frequency options, as well as , targets the Android SDK 25 and greater. In order to transmit, uncheck amplifier, check antenna power, turn the LNA slider all the way down and turn the VGA all the way up.

Recent changes:
Permissions broke on Android 13, because Android 13 does not accept permissions for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.
Adding Android 13 permissions for READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_AUDIO and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO". Adding check with big if/else for Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU rather than invasively changing the code structure.

Comments on HackRF Test for Android

★★★★★ Daniel Hassanian Moghaddam · Dec 29, 2023
Thanks. It works now. I had to enable the file permissions manually from the app info menu. It would be awesome if you could merge this with RF analyzer. So we can also get a waterfall of what's going on the spectrum
★★★★☆ Timo Ramsbrock · Dec 20, 2022
Frome version 5 it no longer works but with a downgrade to version 4 it works again.
★★★★☆ Matthew Tratz · May 14, 2023
Works for running s23 ultra. I wanted to see if I could transit my own IQ file. I could but had to use a PC to get access to the apps folder
★★★★★ Sal Martinez · Nov 1, 2020
Able to record gate opener FOB and replay the signal using this app to open the gate without the FOB
★☆☆☆☆ Brian Turney · Jan 11, 2023
I hate to rate things low but for me this app won't work at all. Sure it starts up but even with my new hack RF device and USB plugged carefully into my phone (and I've rep lugged it in several times to ensure it's a good connection) it will not do any tests or allow me to select anything. Even opening the log says "unable to open the log". I have a brand new ASUS ROG 6 Android phone. App needs work. Currently, not working on Android. RF Analyzer works fine with my Hack RF, so it's clearly this app.
