Data sent from Android to HC-05 Bluetooth Arduino not showing

I am creating an Android app that allows me to control a device connected to Arduino using Bluetooth, with Android 4.4.2, Arduino Uno and HC-05 Module.
Right now I'm finding serious difficulties to print data in the Arduino serial (in order to verify if it's really working). I tried everything I have found in this or other forums related to this topic.
For the moment, I have been able to detect the devices, pair with them and create the Socket and the OutputStream, but for some reason the data doesn't show up.
The code is 2 basic Activities and their layouts (Android) and the Arduino code:
Image of how it shows the available devices.
Image of how now that device is paired with our Android Device.
GetPaired.java:
Basically gets the available devices, show them in a custom ListView, allows you to pair/unpair with them and after you get the device paired, you go to the ConnectionControl activity.

The ConnectionControl Activity:
Receives an intent with a BluetoothDevice Object, as the device we are going to connect with. Creates the BluetoothSocket, the connection Thread the OutputStream.

}
public void onON(View view){

}
public void onOFF(View view){

}
}
And the Arduino code:
In the Arduino hardware I connected the 5V and already entered in AT mode to the Bluetooth to change its name before.
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX
void setup() {
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
}
// set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
mySerial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() { // run over and over
if (mySerial.available()) {
Serial.write(mySerial.read());
}
if (Serial.available()) {
mySerial.write(Serial.read());
}
}
What can I try next?

UPDATE:
If you have to use this code for a project feel free to use it.
I have managed to solve the issue, the Arduino code was the problem, this is the working code:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial BTserial(11, 10); // RX | TX
char c = ' ';
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Arduino is ready");
// HC-05 default serial speed for commincation mode is 9600
BTserial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
if (BTserial.available())
{
c = BTserial.read();
Serial.write(c);
}
// Keep reading from Arduino Serial Monitor and send to HC-05
if (Serial.available())
{
c = Serial.read();
BTserial.write(c);
}
}

Sending data from Arduino to Android

I have been trying to send data from arduino to an Android application via Bluetooth Module HC-05 and i couldn't get any readings from the arduino to be displayed in the application
The arduino code is :
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
char c;
if(Serial.available())
{
c = Serial.read();
Serial.print(c);
}
}

The first issue I see right now is in your Arduino code:
You're never sending the message over Bluetooth as you're using the same Serial for input and output. If you're using an Arduino Mega using Serial1 would fixe this (Using TX1 and RX1). If you're not using a Mega you should consider to use the SerialSoftware library which allows you to create a new custom Serial.
It would be nice to see your Arduino setup to see how you wired it up.
Hope that helps you, feel free to ask any question.

Unable to connect to the bluetooth Module

Suggestions as to why application cant pick up connected clients (Code Provided)

Hey guys ive been working on a project to create a type of wifi hot spot manager, so that it records the connected devices with mac address, ip address and other information. However i can't seem to work out as to why when i press get Clients from screen it doesn't gather any data of whos connected. I have compiled the file to an APK to test on my phone seeing as wifi functionality does not work on the emulator in android studio.
Credit for the code goes to:

back button not calling onPause

I have an activity that displays sensor values and sends them to a synchronous queue, from the onSensorChanged method. I have a timeout on the publish to queue so that the onSensorChanged method does not block, when the queue is blocking. I am then expecting that the onPause method will be called when the back button is pressed, however it is not and the screen just hangs without returning to the previous screen. Any idea why this is happening?
Btw, when the queue does not block (data is removed by the subscriber) then all works as expected, onPause is called when the back button is pressed.
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
TextView tvX = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewRemLinAccX);
TextView tvY = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewRemLinAccY);
TextView tvZ = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewRemLinAccZ);
String x = String.format(format, event.values[0]);
String y = String.format(format, event.values[1]);
String z = String.format(format, event.values[2]);
tvX.setText(x);
tvY.setText(y);
tvZ.setText(z);
try {
if (btConnection.isRunning()) {
Log.i(TAG, "+++ queue values");
queue.offer(constructData(x, y, z), 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "+++ err " + e.toString());
}
}

If you are blocking the UI with other operations (when you execute something on the main thread), then the back button will not work, you should do any operation that takes time on a background thread.

This appears to be resolved though I am not quite sure how I did it, so have included the code for others to use. I did a lot of restructuring to ensure that connection resources were cleaned up properly and now the onPause, and onDestroy, methods are called when the back button is pressed.
Fyi, this activity opens a bluetooth connection and sends sensor data to another computer to be used to control a LEGO NXT robot.
