The LC team takes custom requests, and you wouldn't have to tell them how
to link the code into LiveCode. :) Write to supp...@livecode.com and see
what they say.

Thanks for the reply, Jacqueline. I was hoping for a reply from you as one
of the Android experts on this list.
Your response is as expected. Yes, I am aware of Bluetooth usage on
Android.. and, ideally, THAT would be perfect... since I have a fully
developed and working iOS version of my app using Bluetooth via Monte's
excellent "mergBLE" kit. I don't WANT to use the USB if I don't have to
but without adding yet another piece of hardware to the project (my
hardware guy would kill me!), WIFI sockets are not an option either. Serial
connectivity is "native" to all Arduino platforms and the Bluetooth is
built into our project for the iOS connectivity.
If anyone could suggest a contractible resource who could "link" an open
source Java "library" to LC, that would be fantastic. Hitting the
"yellow-pages" for such a resource seems to be an exercise in frustration
in terms of responsiveness of the variety of 10 - 12 supposed Android
development companies which tout development expertise.
The Java source resource (in case anyone is interested and able) is from
Adafruit and can be found here:
https://github.com/adafruit/Bluefruit_LE_Connect_Android
Regarding "... a custom Android external ...", if I can find a competent
Android developer (and, as I said, I REALY need some advice in that
regard), how would I instruct them to "link" their code to LC's? I'm quite
ignorant about that aspect of LC development.. but willing to learn.

can lend a hand.
You can use Bluetooth with Android as well, but we don't have an
external for that yet. USB connectivity has always been missing on all
platforms, and I don't know of any plans to add it.
It sounds like what you need is a custom Android external for BlueTooth.
