I don´t see the taken photo on my android device, what can i do?

Most likely this problem is caused because of your picture settings. The review photo is generated from the JPEG, so you have to add JPEG to your settings if you´re shooting in RAW only.

Will there be a version with direct connection between an Android device and the camera?

For communicating with the camera we use a software library provided by the camera manufacturer. Unfortunately they do not provide the actual protocol specification for communicating directly with the camera. If it is possible to get a hold of the actual protocol spec we may start to implement this specific feature.
