How to connect BT barcode reader correctly?

I have two type of BT reader on of them is a Symbol CS3070 and the other one is a Datalogic DBT6400.
For the DBT6400 device I found an Android SDK with which the connection is very simple. But for the first one there is no supported SDK.
So I decided to connect to these device directly without SDK. Everything works fine,until the device disconnected because of sleep mode or because of I switch from one to another device.
In this case I get a lot of exception inside the while loop, because of the socket is closed. I have a tip for this why it's happen, maybe because of the coroutine, if it is possible.
UPDATE: So I found the problem, a put the catch block this line of code: reader=0, and there is only 1 error, so it's seems good. But I still don't know, is it a good solution?
My CustomReader class
class CustomReader(

So, here it is my solution, I don't think it is the best, but it works.

override fun connect(address: String) {
try {
device = pairedDevices?.firstOrNull { x -> x.address == address }

Timber.d("CustomReader: $deviceName: Device not found")
return
}
deviceName = device?.name ?: "N/A"
initSocket()
launch {
withContext(singleExecutor){

}
}
} catch (e: Exception) {
Timber.e(e)
}
}
override fun disconnect() {
closeSocket()
localJob.cancel()

Message not received from Android MQTT publish to RabbitMQ

I have set up RabbitMQ, enabled web UI for management, enabled mqtt_plugin and the ports 1883, 8883, 5672, 15672 (Docker). I used Paho MqttClient for Android app I am developing to publish a message to the MQ broker. The connection is fine however, there is no message received as a check on the web UI and CLI.
Connection Page:

token.setActionCallback(new IMqttActionListener() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(IMqttToken asyncActionToken) {

options.setCleanSession(false);
options.setAutomaticReconnect(true);
options.setUserName(username);
options.setPassword(password.toCharArray());
return options;
}
// this is called on button click publish
public void publishLog() {
Log.d(TAG, "Publishing....");
counter++;
String payload = "Send to My MQ! - " + counter;
try {
MqttMessage message = new MqttMessage(payload.getBytes());
message.setQos(1);

client.publish(TOPIC, message);
Toast.makeText(this, "MESSAGE SENT! - " + counter, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (MqttException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I've been looking around for answers and tried reinstalling MQ but still got the same.

Here, is common extention for coonectMq and getting message from it. (MqConnectionExtention.kt)
fun Context.connectMq(publishTopicChannelName: String, onConnectionSuccess: (topic: String?, message: MqttMessage?) -> Unit) {

val connOpts = MqttConnectOptions()
connOpts.isCleanSession = true
connOpts.userName = username

}
From Java class I am calling it like below and getting message successfully:
private void subscribeMQForVideo() {

Unable to read data via bluetooth successfully

I'm trying to create an App which can receive data and send data to the microcontroller (ESP32). But for some reason, I'm unable to receive data from microcontroller successfully.
The app is written in Kotlin, and I already tried some examples mentioned on StackOverflow, but none of them actually works on my code.
I can successfully send data to the microcontroller via Bluetooth, but I can't receive data from Bluetooth. (The method I used in the microcontroller is just simply "ESP_BT.println("Check");"
In the code snippet, the function relates to my receiving data is called "receiveBluetooth"
class ControlActivity: AppCompatActivity() {
companion object {
val myUUID: UUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB")

//showCountTextView.text = receiveBluetooth()
receiveBluetooth(showCountTextView)
}

finish()
}

this.context = c
}

}

try {
if (myBluetoothSocket == null || !myIsConnected) {
myBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter()
val device: BluetoothDevice = myBluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(myAddress)
myBluetoothSocket = device.createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(myUUID)
BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().cancelDiscovery()
myBluetoothSocket!!.connect()
}
} catch (e: IOException) {
connectSuccess = false
e.printStackTrace()
}
//Needs be fixed
return null
}
override fun onPostExecute(result: String?) {
super.onPostExecute(result)
if (!connectSuccess) {
Log.i("data", "couldn't connect")
} else {
myIsConnected = true
}
myProgress.dismiss()
}
}
}
I expect the text will show exactly "Check", but instead, my text will only show the initial value that I assigned.

Maybe you should use a library. For me works fine RxAndroidBle library:
Gradle:
implementation "com.polidea.rxandroidble2:rxandroidble:1.8.1"
Implementation:
In my project with Android Java and ESP32 too, I read some characteristics or values with simple implementations, for example:
public void setupNotification() {
if (isConnected()) {
final Disposable disposable = connectionObservable
.flatMap(rxBleConnection -> rxBleConnection.setupNotification(charactSensorDataUuid))
.doOnNext(notificationObservable -> { notificationHasBeenSetUp(); })
.flatMap(notificationObservable -> notificationObservable)
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(this::onNotificationReceived, this::onNotificationSetupFailure);
compositeDisposable.add(disposable);
}
}
public void readSensorConfig(){
if (isConnected()) {
final Disposable disposable = connectionObservable
.firstOrError()
.flatMap(rxBleConnection -> rxBleConnection.readCharacteristic(charactConfigUuid))
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(this::onSensorConfigRead, this::onReadFailure);
compositeDisposable.add(disposable);
}
}
public void readSensorData(){
if (isConnected()) {
final Disposable disposable = connectionObservable
.firstOrError()
.flatMap(rxBleConnection -> rxBleConnection.readCharacteristic(charactSensorDataUuid))
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(this::onSensorDataRead, this::onReadFailure);
compositeDisposable.add(disposable);
}
}
The complete Java implementation is here:
https://github.com/kike-canaries/android-hpma115s0/blob/master/app/src/main/java/hpsaturn/pollutionreporter/common/BLEHandler.java
The migration to Kotlin should be simple, also on this library the main target is Bluetooth BLE, and they have many samples on Kotlin

i am creating an app that scans for and pairs to Bluetooth devices. i am displaying the devices in a RecyclerView and indicating bond state by coloring the ViewHolder for that device. my problem is that the color of the ViewHolder is only changed after scanning for devices again and i want it to immediately update the color on pair or unpair. i am attempting to do this through use of a broadcast receiver but i am unable to get a reference to the correct ViewHolder. how can i achieve this? i am including my code below for my RecyclerView.Adapter and my BluetoothUtils file containing the broadcast receiver. thanks in advance. my adapter:
class DeviceAdapter(val mContext : Context) : RecyclerView.Adapter<DeviceAdapter.DeviceHolder>() {
companion object {
val TAG = "Device Adapter"
fun DeviceHolder.setColor(bonded: Boolean):Unit{
val background = if (bonded)Color.CYAN else Color.TRANSPARENT
this.itemView.setBackgroundColor(background)
}
}
val mDevices = ArrayList<BluetoothDevice>()
fun updateItems(list: ArrayList<BluetoothDevice>) {
mDevices.clear()
mDevices.addAll(list)
Log.d(TAG, "updating items : $mDevices")
notifyDataSetChanged()
}
fun ViewGroup.inflate(#LayoutRes res: Int, attachToRoot: Boolean = false): View {
return LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(res, this, attachToRoot)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: DeviceHolder, position: Int) {
Log.d(TAG, "onBindViewHolder called!")
holder.bindItems(mDevices.get(position))
if (mDevices.get(position).bondState==BluetoothDevice.BOND_BONDED) {
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(CYAN)
} else {
holder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT)
}
}
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup?, viewType: Int): DeviceAdapter.DeviceHolder {
Log.d(TAG, "onCreateViewHolder called!")
val v = parent!!.inflate(R.layout.device_item, false)
return DeviceHolder(v)
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return mDevices.size
}
inner class DeviceHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {
val nameView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.nameView) as TextView
val addrView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.addressView) as TextView
var dialog: AlertDialog? = null;
fun bindItems(btDevice: BluetoothDevice) {
Log.d(TAG, "holder created!")
nameView.text = btDevice.name ?: "Unknown"
addrView.text = btDevice.address
itemView.setOnClickListener {
dialog = AlertDialog.Builder(it.context)
.setTitle("Options")
.setView(R.layout.options_dialog_layout)
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", DialogInterface.OnClickListener { _, which -> })
.create()
dialog!!.show()
val ops = listOf(
dialog!!.findViewById(R.id.statOp),
dialog!!.findViewById(R.id.pairOp),
dialog!!.findViewById(R.id.connectOp),
dialog!!.findViewById(R.id.sendOp),
dialog!!.findViewById(R.id.unPairOp)
)
ops.forEach { it.setOnClickListener {
Toast.makeText(it.context, it.id.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
when(it.id){
R.id.statOp -> {}
R.id.connectOp -> {
Log.d(TAG, "connectOp reached")
BluetoothReflection.connectDevice(btDevice)
dialog!!.dismiss()
}// BluetoothUtils.connect(BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(), btDevice)
R.id.pairOp -> {
Log.d(TAG, "pairOp reached")
BluetoothUtils.startPair(BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(), btDevice)
if (btDevice.bondState==BluetoothDevice.BOND_BONDED){
this#DeviceHolder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(CYAN) //doesn't work
}
Log.d(TAG, "start pair complete")
dialog!!.dismiss()
}//
R.id.unPairOp -> {//no executable code found here
Log.d(TAG, "unPairOp reached")
BluetoothUtils.unPair(btDevice)
if (btDevice.bondState==BluetoothDevice.BOND_NONE){
this#DeviceHolder.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT) //doesn't work
}
Log.d(TAG, "unpair complete")
dialog!!.dismiss()
}
R.id.sendOp -> {}
}
} }
}
}
}
}
and my BluetoothUtils:
class BluetoothUtils {
companion object {
var listener: ListenThread? = null
val _UUID = UUID.fromString("a0e7e4c7-0e4e-43b7-9d18-659192512164")
val TAG = "BluetoothUtils"
val receiver = MainBTStatusReceiver()
fun initPairingServer(adapter: BluetoothAdapter){
var mmServerSocket: BluetoothServerSocket?
try {
var tmp = adapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(TAG, _UUID)
mmServerSocket = tmp
listener = ListenThread(mmServerSocket)
listener!!.start()
}catch (ioe: IOException){
Log.e(TAG, "Error initializing Bluetooth", ioe)
}
}
fun cancelListener() = listener!!.cancel()
fun connect(adapter: BluetoothAdapter, device: BluetoothDevice){
var btSocket: BluetoothSocket?
try {
adapter.cancelDiscovery()
btSocket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(_UUID)
PairingThread(btSocket).start()
}catch (ioe: IOException){
Log.e(TAG, "error connecting", ioe)
}
}
fun startPair(adapter: BluetoothAdapter, device: BluetoothDevice): Unit{
adapter.cancelDiscovery()
Log.d(TAG, device.bondState.toString())
device.createBond()
}
fun unPair(device: BluetoothDevice): Any = device::class.java.getMethod("removeBond").invoke(device)
}
}
class ListenThread(val btServSock: BluetoothServerSocket) : Thread(){
companion object {
val TAG = "ListenThread"
}
var btSocket: BluetoothSocket? = null
override fun run() {
super.run()
while (true){
try {
Log.d(TAG, "listening . . . ")
btSocket = btServSock.accept()
}catch (ioe: IOException){
Log.e(TAG, "Error", ioe) // SHOULD HANDLE FAILURE OF LISTENER INSTANTIATION
break
}
//manage connection here
//with either BluetoothUtils function
//or BluetoothSocket extension
}
}
fun cancel() = btServSock.close()
}
class PairingThread(val btSocket: BluetoothSocket) : Thread(){
companion object {
val TAG = "Pairing Thread"
}
override fun run() {
super.run()
try {
Log.d(TAG, "attempting to connect")
btSocket.connect()
}catch (ioe: IOException){
Log.e(TAG, "error connecting", ioe)
btSocket.close()
}
}
}
class MainBTStatusReceiver(): BroadcastReceiver(){
val TAG = "MainBTStatusReceiver"
var mAdapter: DeviceAdapter? = null
fun setAdapter(adapter: DeviceAdapter){
mAdapter = adapter
}
override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent) {
val action = intent.action
val devExtra = intent.getParcelableExtra<BluetoothDevice>(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE) as BluetoothDevice
when(action){
BluetoothDevice.ACTION_BOND_STATE_CHANGED -> {
val device = intent.getParcelableExtra<BluetoothDevice>(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE)
when(device.bondState){
BluetoothDevice.BOND_BONDED -> {
Log.d(TAG, "BONDED")
}
BluetoothDevice.BOND_BONDING -> {Log.d(TAG, "BONDING")}
BluetoothDevice.BOND_NONE -> {Log.d(TAG, "NONE")}
}
}
}
}

Add boolean or int to BluetoothDevice model for managing view.
For example,
BluetoothDevice: added isOn state. (Sorry, it's Java)
class BluetoothDevice {
boolean isOn;
public boolean isOn() {
return isOn;
}
public void setOn(boolean isOn) {
this.isOn = isOn;
}
}
DeviceHolder: changed color of view
fun bindItems(btDevice: BluetoothDevice) {
stateView.textColor = btDevice.isOn() ? Color.RED : Color.GREEN
}
DeviceAdapter: added getItems
fun getItems() {
return mDevices
}
If you want to change isOn state, change model and notify it.
adapter.getItems().get(i).setOn(true);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

I like the above answer as well but the way that i got this done was to pass the BroadcastReceiver into the DeviceAdapter :
class DeviceAdapter(val mContext:Context, val mReceiver:MainBTStatusReceiver) : RecyclerView.Adapter<DeviceAdapter.DeviceHolder>()
and then made a ViewHolder a member of the BroadcastReceiver and a setter function for the ViewHolder named setFocus. before calling any functions from the BluetoothUtils class i called the setFocus function and then the broadcast receiver modifies the color of the view that focus is currently set too. I do have some concern that this might not be reliable as the most accurate method to modify the correct ViewHolder every time. if you see any problem with this please comment to let me know.
my updated BroadcastReceiver:
class MainBTStatusReceiver(): BroadcastReceiver() {
val TAG = "MainBTStatusReceiver"
var holder: DeviceAdapter.DeviceHolder? = null
fun setFocus(holder: DeviceAdapter.DeviceHolder) {
this.holder = holder
}
override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent) {
val action = intent.action
when (action) {
BluetoothDevice.ACTION_BOND_STATE_CHANGED -> {
val device = intent.getParcelableExtra<BluetoothDevice>(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE)
when (device.bondState) {
BluetoothDevice.BOND_BONDED -> {
holder!!.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN)
Log.d(TAG, "BONDED")
}
BluetoothDevice.BOND_BONDING -> {
Log.d(TAG, "BONDING")
}
BluetoothDevice.BOND_NONE -> {
holder!!.itemView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT)
Log.d(TAG, "NONE")
}
}
}
}
}
}
and the two statements in my when expression that call setFocus():
R.id.pairOp -> {
Log.d(TAG, "pairOp reached")
mReceiver.setFocus(this#DeviceHolder)
BluetoothUtils.startPair(BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(), btDevice)
Log.d(TAG, "start pair complete")
dialog!!.dismiss()
}
R.id.unPairOp -> {
Log.d(TAG, "unPairOp reached")
mReceiver.setFocus(this#DeviceHolder)
BluetoothUtils.unPair(btDevice)
Log.d(TAG, "unpair complete")
dialog!!.dismiss()
}
