How do I connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to my Android phone?
I have:
- Samsung Galaxy S6
- Wireless Xbox 360 Controller
- USB Wireless Adapter for Xbox 360 Controller (Works for Windows/Linux)
- USB OTG Cable (Allows me to plug USB into Android)
I am able to plug the wireless adapter in, and the controller syncs to it, but the controller doesn't appear to function after that.
