Help Does any Android phone recognise a USB-connected camera?

[peterh337]

Via an OTG cable, most seem to recognise flash sticks.

But nothing recognises my Pentax K1 or any other Pentax.

Yet the camera should be just a standard USB block device...

No, unless you can find an Android phone that has specific drivers for Picture Transfer Protocol or Media Transfer Protocol so it could work with the camera directly as a host. Modern cameras also use other protocols rather than just being a simple mass storage device.

It's weird because Android itself has MTP but it only works when connected to a host computer, it doesn't work as a MTP host yet.
