Serial USB communication android arduino

[Maurizio_Pinna]

Hi, i'm trying to establish a USB otg (no bluetooth) commmunication between my arduino UNO and my android device. I'm trying to follow this example that i found on internet, this one

but in the block section of the mit app inventor enviroment the OpenSerial block it is not linkable to an object above, but only from the left. anyone can help me?

I'm just guessing but since it gives back true or false, use a variable to check if the open succeded or not and you can put the open to the right side if the setvariable.
