I'm trying to make a project using the arduino ADK board http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardADK and a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play running android 2.3.4. For starters all I want to do is blink a led from my android device, using the nice tutorial found here http://allaboutee.com/2011/12/31/arduino-adk-board-blink-an-led-with-your-phone-code-and-explanation/ .I managed to compile the android app but I'm having big difficulties on the arduino sketch, I can't resolve the imports and it won't compile on Windows7. I understand there are some arduino IDE version issues. I tried compiling both on 0022, 0023 and on 1.0. The furthest I could go with the code I was getting these compile errors after editing the AndroidAccessory.h:
D:\arduino-0023\libraries\AndroidAccessory/AndroidAccessory.h:37: error: 'EP_RECORD' does not name a type
D:\arduino-0023\libraries\AndroidAccessory/AndroidAccessory.h:50: error: 'EP_RECORD' has not been declared
D:\arduino-0023\libraries\AndroidAccessory/AndroidAccessory.h:50: error: 'EP_RECORD' has not been declared
D:\arduino-0023\libraries\AndroidAccessory/AndroidAccessory.h:64: error: 'USB_NAK_LIMIT' was not declared in this scope
I think I read the whole documentation and I can't find a solution to my problem. Setting this up is such a pain... I really need to make this work. Thank you in advance! :)

EDIT1: The solution which worked for me was to compile the sketch on Linux (Ubuntu)

EDIT2: Once again using the newest USB library from arduino website the code DOESN'T compile. I tried compiling on IDE v22 and v1.0.2 running both Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.10 with the following errrors:
E:\Development\arduino-1.0.2\libraries\UsbHost/AndroidAccessory.h: In function 'void setup()':
E:\Development\arduino-1.0.2\libraries\UsbHost/AndroidAccessory.h:68: error: 'void AndroidAccessory::powerOn()' is private
sketch_jan10a:16: error: within this context
E:\Development\arduino-1.0.2\libraries\UsbHost/AndroidAccessory.h: In function 'void loop()':
E:\Development\arduino-1.0.2\libraries\UsbHost/AndroidAccessory.h:66: error: 'int AndroidAccessory::read(void*, int, unsigned int)' is private
sketch_jan10a:23: error: within this context
I think if we really know what this EP_Record epRecord[8]; is all about that might help. EP_Record has not been declared in this file. Therefore, it does not have a type. When I gave USB_NAK_LIMIT a type of int that error went away. I have no idea what type to give to EP_Record? The only thing I can think of is that it might be an array epRecord[8]; looks like an array.
While the Android Developer's site is useful it does lack in many ways. One would be some online help for developers. This seems the be the only source for answers to questions and most of them do not really solve the problems.
