How to SSH to an Edison in AP mode from an Android phone?

[aedwa2]

I have my Edison in AP mode (IP=192.168.42.1).

I can SSH to it from my desktop which is connected to the AP via WiFi by setting using PuTTY with the ip address to 192.168.42.1 and the port to 22 SSH setting .

I can connect my phone to the same AP using the phone's Settings and WiFi. It says connected.

I want to ssh to the Edison from the phone just like I can do from the desktop. I tried every SSH app in the Play store and can't get any to work. I must be missing something...

Has anyone done this?

Never mind. Seems to be my phone. My Nexus-4 works fine but the Nexus-5X on 7.1.1 cannot. I should have figured that from the start because it won't connect to my camera either.
