we support batman-adv in the linux kernel. As far as I know you can "simply"
compile the batman-adv module for the Android kernel and it should work. I
remember of somebody which did it.

However we do not directly work on that.

But why do you want to use batman-adv on the Android devices themselves? th=
is
kind of applications are not really energy-friendly and a normal user would=
 not
probably like to drain his battery for no reason (imagine an Android phone
working as router for traffic going to other nodes..).

What I usually do is to use whatever smartphone as a normal non-mesh client,
meaning that I simply connect the phone to a node acting as AP.
This is the common scenario which is also explained in the wiki.

Cheers,
