Few of these threads have been made, but not sure if anyone has shown OTG USB host cable work with USB dongle supporting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I followed this scheme to connect the 4th pin ID to the 5th pin ground. The rest was very simple.

Let me know if you have any questions
I think there was a thread related to this matter already : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070573&highlight=otg
That thread doesn't use a bluetooth dongle. Instead, it uses the built in bluetooth feature of the phone to connect to a bluetooth keyboard and mouse without using the OTG host usb. That's why I wanted to try it this way and see if it worked.
OTG cable
If i use OTG cable for my NOVO 7 paladin(tablet with Android Version 4.0.1) or Xperia ARC(Android version 2.3.4), can it support to my external USB device(like printer)?

Why don't you want to use the built in BT? Surely then you can output to a big screen or charge the phone.
mouse and keyboard also not detected by XPERIA ARC.

I don't have OTG cable?
Is OTG cable is required?
observation: Using USB HOST Controller Software(Available in Android market)
1) For NOVO 7 Paladin : USB HOST MODE is ACTIVE
:Keyboard, mouse not detected
2) For XPERIA ARC : USB HOST MODE not available or not Active
:Keyboard, mouse not detected
Hi,
Aside from using the keyboard, mouse, flash drives, game controllers, what else can I connect with my USB OTG?
Sorry, I'm new at this.
Hi all,
I've done a search regarding this and cannot find any relevant posts. My Ouya micro usb port has physically broken and i'm trying to recover my ouya again. I can boot it to recovery screen via usb keyboard but have no way of physically connecting to it since my micro usb port is broken. Would there be any way of connecting a Nexus 7 via OTG cable to the other standard usb port? Or can anyone suggest another method of connecting?
Wireless is out, cannot flash from usb pen drive have I any options left?
Could you somehow do adb over a wired network?

Trying out my OTG cable, and I happen to see that OTG isn't inherently supported, but all of the workarounds seem to be mass storage.
Anyway to get my USB DAC to work on the Nexus 7?
I've recently purchased a Nexus 7 2013 device and have just ordered a USB OTG cable so I can play movies off a large USB key.
I was just wondering, is it possible to get a full desktop USB keyboard working with the Nexus 7 and that same cable? Do I need any special apps or anything else to get this to work?
I don't need mouse support, just a USB keyboard. TIA
