Android and USB footswitch

[Klaus major-k]

Hi friends,

FYI: I solved the problem!

1. For testing I ordered the cheapest USB footswitch fom Mr. Pesos -> 15.99 Euro
2. Also ordered an USB-A to Micro-USB adapter
3. Downloaded the software for setting up the footswitch, there is even a Mac version!
4. Configured the footswitch to act as a mouseclick
5. Tested with a quick LC app on my Android tablet and...
... IT WORKS, hooray! :-)

The P.S. in my initial posting is still waiting for an answer. :-)

P.S.
Since PDFs are not accessible via "mobilepickmedia" are there ANY other ways to add 
some PDFs later without having to download them from some URL?

Best
