Connecting two android devices together via USB

Question

Is it possible to communicate between two android devices connected together via USB. This is assuming they are both devices with USB OTG and have kernels that support it.

I've tried searching for this but cannot find a good starting point. I'd assume that one of the devices needs to act as a host and one as a client which is exactly what I need (only really require one way communication actually).

Answer 1

I tried connecting two phones (one running ICS and the other JB) using a male-A-to-male-microB cable coupled with a female-A-to-male-microB adapter, and one of the phones detected the other one as a USB device.

Whether I'd actually be able to communicate between them somehow is a different matter. Perhaps the Android developers documentation on this subject could be of some help.
