Enable connection to Raspberry Pi over USB

Use Android Tablet as a screen/keyboard

Open the interfaces file:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Add this to the end to enable connection over USB by providing a static IP address:
allow-hotplug usb0
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.42.42
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.42.0
broadcast 192.168.42.255

192.168.42.xx is the address range on which the Pi will look for USB connections.

Restart raspberry pi:
sudo reboot

Check to see if the USB connection is available using:
ifconfig

You should see an entry for usb0.

Now you can connect over USB using IP address 192.168.42.42
