If you’ll try to create a sketch using the Android ADK library on the latest version of Arduino (1.0 as of this writing), you will get several errors just like this:

This is because they renamed some header files and also changed the signature of some commonly used functions. Initially I thought it will take a while to figure this out but then in reality, you just need to modify some files which is not really a big deal.
First, let’s fix the Max3421e.h header file. For Mac, it is located in ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/USB_Host_Shield/. Just open it and replace the line
with
and save it. Next, compile the sketch again and observe the error message on the console.

Which means AndroidAccessory.h is also referencing the header file WProgram.h which does not exist anymore. AndroidAccessory.h is located in ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/AndroidAccessory/. Let’s go and change that and compile. You will see that we now have a different error message:

There are a couple of things here, first, Max_LCD.h is also referencing to the missing-in-action WProgram.h. Let’s change that. You can find it in ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/USB_Host_Shield/. Then there’s an error saying “conflicting return type specified for ‘virtual void Max_LCD::write(uint8_t)'” at the bottom part of the image above. Let’s open the Max_LCD.h header file and notice that it extends the Print.h header file:
Now let’s open Print.h. It is located in Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/. You will notice that the function write is now returning a size_t data type instead of void which is being expected by the extending class Max_LCD.h.
Now let’s go back to Max_LCD.h and change the return type of the function write(). You will also need to change the implementation in the Max_LCD.cpp to reflect the changes in its header file. Also, Max_LCD.cpp is referencing to WProgram.h and let’s change that as well. After this, you will now have a happy compiler and a working ADK Sketch for Arduino 1.0.
