Hello,
I will like to know if it's possible to control an ARDUINO with you android device using the following method.
My Arduino UNO is hook to my computer via USB port, am using it to trigger relays and to control a micro servo. now I want to be able to control the arduino with my android device, like a remote which send signal to my rooter then to my computer and finally to my serial ports which communicate with my arduino UNO
You would need to have a program on your PC that can receive the data from the Android device and send appropriate commands to the Uno. This isn't an Arduino programming issue.
If you don't need the PC in the loop it may be easier to control the Arduino from an Android device using Bluetooth. See, for example, this RemoteXY Thread.
You may also be interested in my EzScrn demo which illustrates controlling an Arduino using a browser.

OK, Thanks for the info and what if I wanna control the Arduino using a normal Bluetooth dongle is that possible?

I'm not sure what you mean?
Do you mean a USB Bluetooth device connected to your PC (which is what I think of as a dongle) ?
OR
Do you mean a Bluetooth module such as a HC05 or HC06 connected to your Arduino.
If you mean a dongle connected to your PC, you will also need a module connected to your Arduino.

Ya I mean a dongle connected to my PC, but I prefer controlling over wifi if possible, I don't really know software on Android and windows 7 which I can use to remote control. Any suggestion?
An Arduino Yun has WiFi (and a small Linux PC) included. If you do want to use WiFi I suggest you consider it. The EzScrn demo that I linked to earlier can also work on a Yun.
