IMPORTANT!
==========
This code represents a simple Android application for communicating with Arduino Uno (with Atmega16U2 or Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter). It requires Arduino Uno Communicator by Mat Jeppsson in order to function and a suitable Uno/Mega.

Before attempting to use this code, you need to first install Arduino Uno Communicator on your Android tablet/phone. This is currently available for free on Google Play: 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.primavera.arduino.listener&hl=en

Alternatively, you can download the source and compile it yourself using Eclipse then install the compiled package. You can find the source here:

https://github.com/jeppsson/Arduino-Communicator/downloads

Next, with your Android computer powered down, attach your Arduino Uno/Mega via a standard USB cable (using an OTG cable if required). Do not attach your Arduino while your Droid is powered up or it is likely that the software will not find it.

Power up your Droid and after unlocking, the Communicator software will run automatically and will search for a suitable linked Arduino. It will identify success via toast messages. If it does not find your Uno/Mega then Android-Arduino_Blink will not work with your kit.

If all is well, place the Android_Blink folder in your MyPrograms folder in your Arduino installation then compile Android_Blink.ino and upload.

Compile Android-Arduino_Blink and install it on your Droid. If your Arduino is connected, it is likely that carrying out the installation will cause Arduino Uno Communicator to fall over. Either stop the app and restart it or power down and reboot.

In normal operation, power up, unlock, and the communicator software will find your Arduino. Start Android-Arduino_Blink and use the menu to start communications. You can then switch ON/OFF at your pleasure and this will flash the LED on pin 13.

DEVELOPING YOUR OWN APPS
========================
You are welcome to modify all code supplied - It is placed in the public domain. Be aware that B4A_Bridge often crashes the Communicator software during installation. Stopping this program then restarting will allow you to run your newly installed creation and use the debugger via B4A_Bridge as normal.

Good Luck!
