You mean you want to access your Pi from your android device in order to configure wifi?

If you use a wired ethernet connection for your Pi first you can use an SSH app for android (e.g. JuiceSSH) to log into your Pi...

How can your Android Device communicate with the RPi when there is no network between the two :?:

If I understand you correctly, no-one else knows either. You need a communications path from the Android to the dongle before you can configure the dongle. By definition, if you need to change the configuration to establish communications, you cannot establish communications to change the configuration. :twisted:
