Details

Description:
android-file-transfer doesn't come with any dependency to support MTP. It
won't be able to detect any MTP devices until android-udev (or at least just
libmtp is installed.) For some reason, package doesn't have these essential
dependencies listed.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
android-file-transfer 3.1-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install android-file-transfer (without installing android-udev)
2. Plug in an Android device over USB and set it to MTP mode
3. Run android-file-transfer
4. An error dialog about no MTP devices detected will show up
This task depends upon

aft-mtp-mount mounts my Android phone if libmtp is installed without android-udev. Without libmtp I get an error:

connect failed: no MTP device found

Extracting /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libmtp-1.1.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz without istalling the entire libmtp package enables aft-mtp-mount to mount the phone again. It appears the udev file is necessary for aft-mtp-mount & android-file-transfer to indentify MTP devices.

FWIW, the Wiki covers this [1]
