What is your filter criteria for an Android COM port?
List all the ports you find and show which one(s) you want to show.
That will make it possible to give some help forward.

And why not use a foreach-loop instead?

You cannot add a pic here.
You have to write a list manually.

I hope you know that connecting an android device to your PC does not automatically opens a COM port! For that you have to install the proper USB-to-COM diver for that device first...

Ports don't come tagged as, AndroidPort. You need to send some data to that port and see if that works and so on. Why don't you just use USB connection? Google does provide USB drivers.

IF you really want to list all COM port names and try to filter out which one(s) that are Android ports you can do something like this.

C#

foreach (string portName in SerialPort.GetPortNames())
{
    if (portName == someThing)
        metroComboBox1.Items.Add(portName);
}

You have to fill in the code for the someThing.

You can also use

C#

if (portName.StartsWith(someThing))
or
if (portName.EndsWith(someThing))
or
if (portName.Contains(someThing))

There are other ways to do it, but they are maybe a little bit too advanced.

In any case, you will have to know some key word or key data for your port to make this fool proof.

Do you really have that many COM ports on your computer?

I kind of figured out that you are a beginner. :-)
Decide what you want to do and then search for ways how to do it.
