Connecting an Xbox 360 controller to a phone without a receiver is not possible since the controller relies on a proprietary wireless protocol. Instead, consider using a wired Xbox 360 controller with a USB OTG (On-The-Go) adapter. Plug the OTG adapter into your phone, then connect the controller via USB. For wireless connection, you would need a Bluetooth-enabled controller, like the Xbox One controller.
