My poker II works great on android. I'm using it now to type this post.

PNlayer is set to Dvorak and I'm on it now.

What were you needing again?A USBOTGcable or something?

I have the OTG cable.

This might sound confusing, but I'm not sure how else to explain it...

I want to program the PN layer and I don't know how.  On windows, I can press windows, then type notepad, then press enter, and assign that to a key.  On android, when I search, I can't just press enter and go to the program.  If I press enter, it just does a search..

The problem is not how the keyboard works, but rather how the operating system handles launching apps.

I think you need to install a text-based launcher like Doorways or Terminal launcher.

Terminal launcher will allow you launch a program using a "." before the name, so you can program a macro on the PN layer for ".badpiggies" to launch "Bad Piggies" I think.
