Arduino is based on Atmel Micro-controllers and does not typically include an accelerometer. here you are buying into a hardware platform
Android is a complete operating system based on Linux and can run on many different hardware platforms, typically something like an Arm Cortex Microprocessor and is multitasking
the use and approach to programming for each is very different
What I learned the most from about Arduino was the book by Massimo Banzi (co founder of the microcontroller) getting started with Arduino, you can find the book at Radio Shack or Maker Shed.com.
I have learned arduino+android with direct hands on and support of arduino and processing forum, online tutorial and community....this is best way I think to learn android and Arduino...
Peter, I'musing the accelorometer from the android phone to control 2/1 motor/s and 4 servos(2 outputting the same value) and want to know a book regarding this programming.
As for a book recommendation, sorry can not help there
As to how to connect them, it seems using the OTG on the Android device ("On The Go" USB connection), you should be able to communicate with the Arduino device (Attached to the other end of the USB) in a similar way as you use the PC to talk to the Arduino
If you use the famous search engine called Google, a number of choices are found and I want ot narrow it down.
I also want it to be wireless.(bluethoot)
Many of you may find it difficult to find a specific book so any way to communicate wirelessly with a chip?microcontroller(wifi may require to update to the server/web connection) so I'm looking for bluethoot .
