Well first you need to properly format all the code you pasted here…as per the Welcome Topic instructions, as well as the directions you needed to delete when posting your initial topic… or the code will be removed.
Meanwhile, Blynk can connect to the Mega ADK via the primary USB (programming port) and your PC, just like on an UNO, Leonardo, Mega 2650, etc…
As far as I know, The ADK aspect of it is for connecting to Android devices for other purposes, not for Blynk use. But you can Search this forum for keywords like Mega ADK if you wish
Blynk is meant for IoT… generally WiFi and ethernet. The fact that it works over USB serial or BT/BLE is added benefits (and probably more for development then actual use).
Beaside, like BT/BLE a USB OTG link would have limitations without the direct Device <–> Server link… the App is more just the GUI of the system with the Server being the brains and the reason Blynk can be controlled worldwide and with multiple phones and devices on same project… Hardly lame
Please repost your code if you so wish, but with proper formatting Thank you.
Here is possibly an easier example to start with for the Mega…
//#define BLYNK_DEBUG // Advanced diagnostic data... also drastically slows entire sketch
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial // This prints to Serial Monitor
#define BLYNK_USE_128_VPINS
#include <ESP8266_Lib.h> // ESP-01 Link
#include <BlynkSimpleShieldEsp8266.h> // ESP-01 Link
ESP8266 wifi(&Serial1); // Pins 18 & 19 on MEGA - For ESP-01 link
BlynkTimer timer;
#define HTB 13 // Set HeartBeat LED pin.
char auth[] = "xxxxxxxxxx";
char ssid[] = "xxxxxxxxxx";
char pass[] = "xxxxxxxxxx";
char server[] = "blynk-cloud.com";
int port = 8080;
void setup() {
pinMode(HTB, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(115200); // BLYNK_PRINT data - For Serial Monitor
Serial1.begin(115200); // Set baud rate - For ESP-01 link
wifi.setDHCP(1, 1, 1); //Enable dhcp in station mode and save in flash of esp8266
Blynk.config(wifi, auth, server, port);
if (Blynk.connectWiFi(ssid, pass)) {
Blynk.connect();
}
// Timed Lambda Function - UpTime counter
timer.setInterval(1000L, []() { // Run every second
Blynk.virtualWrite(V0, millis() / 1000); // Display the UpTime in Seconds to Widget on V0
}); // END Lambda Function
}
void loop() {
timer.run();
Blynk.run();
}

Try my example… and if you already did, reload it, as I made some changes just now since my simple reconnection routine wasn’t working the way I wanted it, so I removed it for now.
Well, I volunteer hear and am not part of the “we” so I have no idea what you are running into, but none of that will be relevant to the example I provided… unless your libraries are incorrectly installed or corrupted.
• Hardware model Arduino Mega ADK has a onboard USB Host Shield
how do i get the USB Host Shield to work with USB Wifi Dongle and Communicate with blynk?
Creating another topic will not change the initial topics basic answer (you probably can’t… at least the way you seem to be trying) I merged the two topics, please don’t do that again.
Basically, in regards to using a WiFi USB dongle, your issue is not one with Blynk… rather with whatever methods Arduino supplies.
Once you can get a WiFi communication channel going to the internet/network (if possible), you can use Blynk’s Blynk.config() command to try an initiate a server link over that channel…
But aside from the intellectual challenge of that… it is probably much easier to use a simple and proven ESP-01 as a WiFi transceiver and connect it to Serial1like I do.
Sorry, but this is not really something we can help with here… this is the Blynk forum, so once you figure out what you need (Arduino forum perhaps?), then we can assist with your learning/using Blynk over that link.
Or like most other regular users here will probably say… get an ESP8266 or ESP32 Dev board for a few bucks and start using Blynk right away
