I am a newbie in Android development, I want to establish a connection between an Android device and an FTDI chip (FT230X) so that the Android device can send data to a microcontroller via the FTDI chip. I already installed the D2xx library in Android Studio. Can anybody tell me how should I start with this FTDI stuff? How do I detect the FTDI chip from an Android app?

Late answer but hopefully future readers will find it useful.
Take a look at FTDI's Android examples.

FTDI provide a driver to talk to their chips using the inbuilt Android USB Host API. The driver is distributed as a .jar file that you would incorporate into your app. There's a sample on their website showing how to use the driver.
