Android AVD - USB Port

I am new to Android programming.

I am trying to write an application that uses USB to communicate with a device (read / write). I am using Android SDK 2.3.3 (API 10). My project is configured to use the Google API. I created AVD using AVD Managerfrom eclipse for Google API.

Now when I use:

mUsbAccessory = mUsbManager.getAccessoryList();

mUsbAccessory- nullbecause no devices are connected to the AVD. Is it possible to make AVD to use one of the USB ports from my computer?

thank
