Ok, thanks for letting me know if that was off-topic, I just 
wanted
to make sure that it was on topic, but thank you.

No, it isn't off-topic at all.  It's completely on-topic.

I don't want anyone to be worried about posting something that's 
off-topic on
this list, anyway.  If it might be of interest to others then why 
not say it.

So, I'll connect my Apex to my tablet tonight.  But as far as the 
cable goes,
would I use USB client to Micro USB, or a usb host to micro USB.

I'm not sure which kind of USB connector the Apex has, and I also 
don't know if
your tablet has a USB C or USB B port.  Assuming that your tablet 
has a Micro
USB B port, what you need is an OTG (On-The-Go) cable so that 
your tablet can
act as the host.  The most general cable to get would be one with 
a Micro USB
OTG plug and a standard USB A port.
