Hey man, I've been struggling with this for a while until I found micobridge

Theres no way to make an arduino act as a USB host so you need a USB host shield, about $20 or something . . . . all explained on the microbridge site !

Remember that the IOIO has been released which is like the officisl way of interfacing android with external hardware, look it up !  costs more than microbridge but supposedly easier

You can also use the Android open accessory SDK on your Arduino itself.

You still need a host USB shield.
