Hello. Help with the Serial Library for APDE Processing. On the smartphone, I can not find anywhere and connect the zip file. Therefore, an error in the line -import processing.Serial. \*;

When binding to the Arduino and Smartphone serial interface (APDE Processing), there is no SERIAL library for the processing smartphone. In Processing for a computer, it is. (built-in), do not even connect, but for Android I can not find anywhere for a long time. Maybe someone knows, or how to get around it with other libraries, then what?

Because of the lack of this library, all communication examples written by Processing for a computer do not work in Processing for a smartphone.

Maybe someone knows, or tell me where to read?  
Thank you.

If I am something wrong, correct me, recently here! I asked here, no one answered. I thought that I wrote on the wrong topic, I also asked in the processing android topic.
