StartActivityForResult Service

I have this app that connects to any model of Bluetooth Thermal Printer and prints a file with data about a product for an invoice.
When the user clicks to register a request for a product that file is created and the app opens a screen with 2 buttons: pair and print. When pair is clicked, a new Activity with a list of devices is opened and the user chooses a printer, it returns to the main 2 buttons activity and the connection is established.
It works because all this process is part of the Activity itself, the Bluetooth connection for example.
But, as you can imagine, if I connect to the printer and open another Activity, that connection is lost. I cant close the activity because the connection is bonded to it.
I need the app to maintain that Bluetooth connection between Activities so i can set a connection in a printer settings screen and just print the file when the register is done.
So I tried to create a Service, I created a Java class and just copy/pasted all this code into it, however, the StartActivityForResult() and onActivityResult() doesn't work on it (I need it to pass the selected device to the connection).
I don't know what to do, please help, I need this whole connection to work on the background.
This it the two buttons screen code:

Print using Bluetooth printer in android not working

I am working on application which allows user to create PDF and also allows to print it using Bluetooth printer.
I created PDF but whenever i'm going to integrate print functionality using Bluetooth printer, it occurs error over there.
I couldn't get list of Bluetooth device.
If you have any sample code for it then please provide it to me.It is too important to me.
Thank You....
This is my code

In the code I'm using after this line, there is another line that yours is missing
mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
mBluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();
I hope this helps, I'm only starting with android studio but since no one has answered this question I hope mine helps...

Android Bluetooth Background Thread

I am using a bluetooth thermal printer. The printer is working fine but I want to connect the printer from one activity and print data from another activity.Right now every time I have to connect to print data. I want to connect the printer once and through out the app I want to maintain the connection.Now my problem is after connecting to printer If I moved to second activity the printer get disconnected.

this code work very well but before printing this will going to scan device pairing it and then print now i have printer device address now i directly want to print without scan or paring

Message and File Transfer using Bluetooth in android

I am developing an application in which first we have to search and connect available paired Bluetooth devices. I have done till connection. But after that I have put one screen which asks to choose between Text and file transfer. When I select text then one more screen will open in which there are edittext and button. Whatever user types in edittext and clicks on button that should be transferd to connected BT device like BT chat application. I have gone through BT chat app but it is complex to understand. I want a seperate function which does transferring task. Below is my connection code.
Main.java
public class Main extends Activity implements Runnable

Call to following method:
private void sendDataToPairedDevice(String message ,BluetoothDevice device){
byte[] toSend = message.getBytes();
try {
BluetoothSocket socket = device.createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(applicationUUID);
OutputStream mmOutStream = socket.getOutputStream();
mmOutStream.write(toSend);
// Your Data is sent to BT connected paired device ENJOY.
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Exception during write", e);
}
}
Now Put following in Your Oncreate of the Activity with EditText.
EditText editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
And Call above method like
sendDataToPairedDevice(editText1.getText() ,mBluetoothDevice);
in The Onclick of your desired button.
thats it.
just upvote if you use it, thanks, enjoy buddy.

public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mBluetoothAdapter1 = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
byte[] toSend=message1.getBytes();
try
{
final UUID applicationUUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB");
BluetoothDevice device=mBluetoothAdapter1.getRemoteDevice(MacAddress);
BluetoothSocket socket=device.createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(applicationUUID);
OutputStream mmout=socket.getOutputStream();
mmout.write(toSend);
mmout.flush();
mmout.close();
socket.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});

Finally got the Answer...
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = null;
BluetoothDevice m1BluetoothDevice;
public static BluetoothSocket socket;//Get this value from Main Activity
Button btn;
EditText et;
public static String MacAddressesss;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.message);
btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btn);
et=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.et);
btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try
{
String msg=et.getText().toString();
byte tosend= msg.getBytes();
OutputStream out= socket.getOutputStream();
out.write(tosend);
}
catch(IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
}
