Arduino Mega ADK - Connection via OTG cable to Android

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello,

I just received my Arduino Mega ADK for my car installation project.

Sadly I can't get the Arduino talking to my Nexus 7. I tried several apps like "Arduino Uno Commander", "ArduinoDroid", "UsbTerminal" and many more. The thing is that the programs just detect the y-otg-adapter (my Nexus registers the otg cable as an separate device). The Arduino it self is getting recognized by my nexus when I check is via "dmesg" in terminal.

Is there maybe any thing I have to change on the arduino side? Another bootloader or something like that?

Does no one got an idea? Is it maybe a faulty device or something like that?

Are you using the correct lib version? Somewhat old post, but may provide some insight:

Good luck.

Thx for the links, but I think this is related for using the integerated usb-host shield.

I just want to connect the arduino as an normal slave device via an usb-otg cable. Just like this guy: Android Arduino Comms - USB Host | B4X Programming Forum.

My Nexus identifies it as:
