Caution: It is NOT recommend anymore enabling ANT+ with a stick or a dongle for CdaCrr app. See there for the reasons.
If your Android smartphone does not have ANT+ capabilities (check with the ANT+ tester app), you can add an external adapter:
If your Android smartphone does not have ANT+ capabilities (check with the ANT+ tester app), you can add an external adapter:
I) First, you need to check that your smartphone has USB On-The-Go capabilities. To do that, download an app, for instance USB OTG checker.
II) If the answer is positive, you will connect, as external adapter, thanks to a USB OTG cable (this one or this) an ANT USB stick (Garmin or Suunto). The Tacx dongle alone is also a solution (Update 2018/08/19: experienced a lot of data drops and disconnections during rides with the Tacx dongle, so prefer the Garmin one. I never tested the Suunto so can't say).
III) At least, you will need to install on your Android device the ANT Radio, ANT+ Plugins and ANT USB services.
IV) Then, your Android smartphone will be able to receive ANT+ messages from your ANT+ sensors.

I tested the Garmin and Tacx adapters on a Motorola G: it is OK, ANT+ sensors are detected.
