Is it possible to mine using an android device? Like using and micro usb to regular usb adapter and using a powered hub

Depends on the device, but in general, yes. You need a linux in a chroot environment. Commands are the same as for Raspberry Pi or Sheevaplug, its just a bit slower (for me I/O are very slow, because of my slow minisd card). Some devices may have problems serving as USB host. Devices like this might help http://dx.com/p/ug802-android-4-0-dual-core-network-multi-media-player-w-wi-fi-hdmi-tf-black-1gb-ram-4gb-153223
