I have a client on a PC and a server on a tablet. I know the MAC addresses for both which means I do not do discoveries.
1. On the client if I use
connectString = "btspp://" + MACaddress + ":4;authenticate=false;encrypt=false;master=false";
It connects fine.
If I change the CN number (4) to anything else, it does not work. How is this number determined?
2. Everything works fine if the tablet is a Samsung with Android 5.0.2 When I use a Qunyico tablet with Android 10, it does not work. I get an error: Failed to connect; [10051] A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network. What is the problem?

I know the MAC addresses for both which means I do not do discoveries.
Official Linux Bluetooth protocol stack BlueZ uses D-BUS API to establish bluetooth communication. If you check adapter-api, scanning will create device objects that you need to establish a communication which means discovering is not only done to retrieve MAC addresses only.
Your case might be the same, I would suggest doing discovery first.
Currently I am trying to deal with a strange Exception when opening a BluetoothSocket on my Nexus 7 (2012), with Android 4.3 (Build JWR66Y, I guess the second 4.3 update). I have seen some related postings (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13648373/bluetoothsocket-connect-throwing-exception-read-failed), but none seems to provide a workaround for this issue. Also, as suggested in these threads, re-pairing does not help, and constantly trying to connect (through a stupid loop) also has no effect.
I am dealing with an embedded device (a noname OBD-II car adapter, similar to http://images04.olx.com/ui/15/53/76/1316534072_254254776_2-OBD-II-BLUTOOTH-ADAPTERSCLEAR-CHECK-ENGINE-LIGHTS-WITH-YOUR-PHONE-Oceanside.jpg). My Android 2.3.7 phone does not have any issues connecting, and the Xperia of a colleague (Android 4.1.2) also works.

The code is failing at bluetoothSocket.connect(). I am getting a java.io.IOException: read failed, socket might closed, read ret: -1. This is the corresponding source at GitHub: https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/android-4.3_r2/core/java/android/bluetooth/BluetoothSocket.java#L504
Its called through readInt(), called from https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/android-4.3_r2/core/java/android/bluetooth/BluetoothSocket.java#L319
Some metadata dump of the used socket resulted in the following information. These are exactly the same on Nexus 7 and my 2.3.7 phone.
Bluetooth Device 'OBDII'

I have some other OBD-II adapters (more expansives) and they all work. Is there any chance, that I am missing something or might this be a bug in Android?
I have finally found a workaround. The magic is hidden under the hood of the BluetoothDevice class (see https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/android-4.3_r2/core/java/android/bluetooth/BluetoothDevice.java#L1037).
Now, when I receive that exception, I instantiate a fallback BluetoothSocket, similar to the source code below. As you can see, invoking the hidden method createRfcommSocket via reflections. I have no clue why this method is hidden. The source code defines it as public though...
Class<?> clazz = tmp.getRemoteDevice().getClass();
Class<?>[] paramTypes = new Class<?>[] {Integer.TYPE};
Method m = clazz.getMethod("createRfcommSocket", paramTypes);
Object[] params = new Object[] {Integer.valueOf(1)};
fallbackSocket = (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(tmp.getRemoteDevice(), params);
fallbackSocket.connect();
connect() then does not fail any longer. I have experienced a few issues still. Basically, this sometimes blocks and fails. Rebooting the SPP-Device (plug off / plug in) helps in such cases. Sometimes I also get another Pairing request after connect() even when the device is already bonded.

here is a complete class, containing some nested classes. for a real implementation these could be held as seperate classes.

well, i had the same problem with my code, and it's because since android 4.2 bluetooth stack has changed. so my code was running fine on devices with android < 4.2 , on the other devices i was getting the famous exception "read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1"
The problem is with the socket.mPort parameter. When you create your socket using socket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(SERIAL_UUID); , the mPort gets integer value "-1", and this value seems doesn't work for android >=4.2 , so you need to set it to "1". The bad news is that createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord only accepts UUID as parameter and not mPort so we have to use other aproach. The answer posted by #matthes also worked for me, but i simplified it: socket =(BluetoothSocket) device.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket", new Class[] {int.class}).invoke(device,1);. We need to use both socket attribs , the second one as a fallback.
So the code is (for connecting to a SPP on an ELM327 device):
BluetoothAdapter btAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (btAdapter.isEnabled()) {
SharedPreferences prefs_btdev = getSharedPreferences("btdev", 0);
String btdevaddr=prefs_btdev.getString("btdevaddr","?");
if (btdevaddr != "?")
{
BluetoothDevice device = btAdapter.getRemoteDevice(btdevaddr);
UUID SERIAL_UUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb"); // bluetooth serial port service
//UUID SERIAL_UUID = device.getUuids()[0].getUuid(); //if you don't know the UUID of the bluetooth device service, you can get it like this from android cache
BluetoothSocket socket = null;
try {
socket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(SERIAL_UUID);
} catch (Exception e) {Log.e("","Error creating socket");}
try {
socket.connect();
Log.e("","Connected");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("",e.getMessage());
try {
Log.e("","trying fallback...");
socket =(BluetoothSocket) device.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket", new Class[] {int.class}).invoke(device,1);
socket.connect();
Log.e("","Connected");
}
catch (Exception e2) {
Log.e("", "Couldn't establish Bluetooth connection!");
}
}
}
else
{
Log.e("","BT device not selected");
}
}
First, if you need to talk to a bluetooth 2.x device, this documentation states that :
Hint: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth serial board then try using
the well-known SPP UUID 00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB. However
if you are connecting to an Android peer then please generate your own
unique UUID.
I didn't think that it would work, but only by replacing the UUID with 00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB it works. However, this code seems to handle the problem of SDK version, and you can just replace the function device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(mMyUuid); with tmp = createBluetoothSocket(mmDevice); after defining the following method :
private BluetoothSocket createBluetoothSocket(BluetoothDevice device)
throws IOException {
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 10){
try {
final Method m = device.getClass().getMethod("createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord", new Class[] { UUID.class });
return (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(device, mMyUuid);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not create Insecure RFComm Connection",e);
}
}
return device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(mMyUuid);
}
The source code isn't mine, but comes from this website.
I had the same symptoms as described here. I could connect once to a bluetooth printer but subsequent connects failed with "socket closed" no matter what I did.
I found it a bit strange that the workarounds described here would be necessary. After going through my code I found that I had forgot to close the socket's InputStream and OutputSteram and not terminated the ConnectedThreads properly.
The ConnectedThread I use is the same as in the example here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth.html
Note that ConnectThread and ConnectedThread are two different classes.
Whatever class that starts the ConnectedThread must call interrupt() and cancel() on the thread.
I added mmInStream.close() and mmOutStream.close() in the ConnectedTread.cancel() method.
After closing the threads/streams/sockets properly I could create new sockets without any problem.
On newer versions of Android, I was receiving this error because the adapter was still discovering when I attempted to connect to the socket. Even though I called the cancelDiscovery method on the Bluetooth adapter, I had to wait until the callback to the BroadcastReceiver's onReceive() method was called with the action BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.
Once I waited for the adapter to stop discovery, then the connect call on the socket succeeded.
Well, I have actually found the problem.
The most people who try to make a connection using socket.Connect(); get an exception called Java.IO.IOException: read failed, socket might closed, read ret: -1.
In some cases it also depends on your Bluetooth device, because there are two different types of Bluetooth, namely BLE (low energy) and Classic.
If you want to check the type of your Bluetooth device is, here's the code:
String checkType;
var listDevices = BluetoothAdapter.BondedDevices;
if (listDevices.Count > 0)
{
foreach (var btDevice in listDevices)
{
if(btDevice.Name == "MOCUTE-032_B52-CA7E")
{
checkType = btDevice.Type.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(checkType);
}
}
}
I've been trying for days to solve the problem, but since today I have found the problem. The solution from #matthes has unfortunately still a few issues as he said already, but here's my solution.
At the moment I work in Xamarin Android, but this should also work for other platforms.
SOLUTION
If there is more than one paired device, then you should remove the other paired devices. So keep only the one that you want to connect (see the right image).
In the left image you see that I have two paired devices, namely "MOCUTE-032_B52-CA7E" and "Blue Easy". That's the issue, but I have no idea why that problem occurs. Maybe the Bluetooth protocol is trying to get some information from another Bluetooth device.
However, the socket.Connect(); works great right now, without any problems. So I just wanted to share this, because that error is really annoying.
Good luck!
In case somebody is having issues with Kotlin, I had to follow the accepted answer with some variations:
fun print(view: View, text: String) {
var adapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
var pairedDevices = adapter.getBondedDevices()
var uuid = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB")
if (pairedDevices.size > 0) {
for (device in pairedDevices) {
var s = device.name
if (device.getName().equals(printerName, ignoreCase = true)) {
Thread {
var socket = device.createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(uuid)
var clazz = socket.remoteDevice.javaClass
var paramTypes = arrayOf<Class<*>>(Integer.TYPE)
var m = clazz.getMethod("createRfcommSocket", *paramTypes)
var fallbackSocket = m.invoke(socket.remoteDevice, Integer.valueOf(1)) as BluetoothSocket
try {
fallbackSocket.connect()
var stream = fallbackSocket.outputStream
stream.write(text.toByteArray(Charset.forName("UTF-8")))
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
Snackbar.make(view, "An error occurred", Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}.start()
}
}
}
}
Hope it helps
You put
registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter("android.bleutooth.device.action.UUID"));
with "bluetooth" spelled "bleutooth".
Bluetooth devices can operate in both classic and LE mode at the same time. Sometimes they use a different MAC address depending on which way you are connecting. Calling socket.connect() is using Bluetooth Classic, so you have to make sure the device you got when you scanned was really a classic device.
It's easy to filter for only Classic devices, however:
if(BluetoothDevice.DEVICE_TYPE_LE == device.getType()){
//socket.connect()
}
Without this check, it's a race condition as to whether a hybrid scan will give you the Classic device or the BLE device first. It may appear as intermittent inability to connect, or as certain devices being able to connect reliably while others seemingly never can.
i also faced with this problem,you could solve it in 2 ways , as mentioned earlier use reflection to create the socket
Second one is,
client is looking for a server with given UUID and if your server isn't running parallel to client then this happens.
Create a server with given client UUID and then listen and accept the client from server side.It will work.
Even i had the same problem ,finally understand my issue , i was trying to connect from (out of range) Bluetooth coverage range.
I ran into this problem and fixed it by closing the input and output streams before closing the socket. Now I can disconnect and connect again with no issues.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3039807/5688612
In Kotlin:
fun disconnect() {
bluetoothSocket.inputStream.close()
bluetoothSocket.outputStream.close()
bluetoothSocket.close()
}
If another part of your code has already made a connection with the same socket and UUID, you get this error.
I've had this problem and the solution was to use the special magic GUID.
val id: UUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB") // Any other GUID doesn't work.
val device: BluetoothDevice = bta!!.bondedDevices.first { z -> z.name == deviceName }
bts = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(id) // mPort is -1
bts?.connect()
// Start processing thread.
I suspect that these are the UUIDs that work:
var did: Array<ParcelUuid?> = device.uuids
However, I have not tried them all.
By adding filter action my problem resolved
// Register for broadcasts when a device is discovered
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_STARTED);
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED);
registerReceiver(mReceiver, intentFilter);
I have also receive the same IOException, but I find the Android system demo: "BluetoothChat" project is worked. I determined the problem is the UUID.
So i replace my UUID.fromString("00001001-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB") to UUID.fromString("8ce255c0-200a-11e0-ac64-0800200c9a66") and it worked most scene,only sometimes need to restart the Bluetooth device;

The code is failing at bluetoothSocket.connect(). I am getting a java.io.IOException: read failed, socket might closed, read ret: -1. This is the corresponding source at GitHub: https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/android-4.3_r2/core/java/android/bluetooth/BluetoothSocket.java#L504
Its called through readInt(), called from https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/android-4.3_r2/core/java/android/bluetooth/BluetoothSocket.java#L319
Some metadata dump of the used socket resulted in the following information. These are exactly the same on Nexus 7 and my 2.3.7 phone.
Bluetooth Device 'OBDII'
Address: 11:22:33:DD:EE:FF

I have some other OBD-II adapters (more expansives) and they all work. Is there any chance, that I am missing something or might this be a bug in Android?
I have finally found a workaround. The magic is hidden under the hood of the BluetoothDevice class (see https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/android-4.3_r2/core/java/android/bluetooth/BluetoothDevice.java#L1037).
Now, when I receive that exception, I instantiate a fallback BluetoothSocket, similar to the source code below. As you can see, invoking the hidden method createRfcommSocket via reflections. I have no clue why this method is hidden. The source code defines it as public though...
Class<?> clazz = tmp.getRemoteDevice().getClass();
Class<?>[] paramTypes = new Class<?>[] {Integer.TYPE};
Method m = clazz.getMethod("createRfcommSocket", paramTypes);
Object[] params = new Object[] {Integer.valueOf(1)};
fallbackSocket = (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(tmp.getRemoteDevice(), params);
fallbackSocket.connect();
connect() then does not fail any longer. I have experienced a few issues still. Basically, this sometimes blocks and fails. Rebooting the SPP-Device (plug off / plug in) helps in such cases. Sometimes I also get another Pairing request after connect() even when the device is already bonded.
UPDATE:
here is a complete class, containing some nested classes. for a real implementation these could be held as seperate classes.

well, i had the same problem with my code, and it's because since android 4.2 bluetooth stack has changed. so my code was running fine on devices with android < 4.2 , on the other devices i was getting the famous exception "read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1"
The problem is with the socket.mPort parameter. When you create your socket using socket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(SERIAL_UUID); , the mPort gets integer value "-1", and this value seems doesn't work for android >=4.2 , so you need to set it to "1". The bad news is that createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord only accepts UUID as parameter and not mPort so we have to use other aproach. The answer posted by #matthes also worked for me, but i simplified it: socket =(BluetoothSocket) device.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket", new Class[] {int.class}).invoke(device,1);. We need to use both socket attribs , the second one as a fallback.
So the code is (for connecting to a SPP on an ELM327 device):
BluetoothAdapter btAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (btAdapter.isEnabled()) {
SharedPreferences prefs_btdev = getSharedPreferences("btdev", 0);
String btdevaddr=prefs_btdev.getString("btdevaddr","?");
if (btdevaddr != "?")
{
BluetoothDevice device = btAdapter.getRemoteDevice(btdevaddr);
UUID SERIAL_UUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb"); // bluetooth serial port service
//UUID SERIAL_UUID = device.getUuids()[0].getUuid(); //if you don't know the UUID of the bluetooth device service, you can get it like this from android cache
BluetoothSocket socket = null;
try {
socket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(SERIAL_UUID);
} catch (Exception e) {Log.e("","Error creating socket");}
try {
socket.connect();
Log.e("","Connected");
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("",e.getMessage());
try {
Log.e("","trying fallback...");
socket =(BluetoothSocket) device.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket", new Class[] {int.class}).invoke(device,1);
socket.connect();
Log.e("","Connected");
}
catch (Exception e2) {
Log.e("", "Couldn't establish Bluetooth connection!");
}
}
}
else
{
Log.e("","BT device not selected");
}
}
First, if you need to talk to a bluetooth 2.x device, this documentation states that :
Hint: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth serial board then try using
the well-known SPP UUID 00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB. However
if you are connecting to an Android peer then please generate your own
unique UUID.
I didn't think that it would work, but only by replacing the UUID with 00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB it works. However, this code seems to handle the problem of SDK version, and you can just replace the function device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(mMyUuid); with tmp = createBluetoothSocket(mmDevice); after defining the following method :
private BluetoothSocket createBluetoothSocket(BluetoothDevice device)
throws IOException {
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 10){
try {
final Method m = device.getClass().getMethod("createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord", new Class[] { UUID.class });
return (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(device, mMyUuid);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not create Insecure RFComm Connection",e);
}
}
return device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(mMyUuid);
}
The source code isn't mine, but comes from this website.
I had the same symptoms as described here. I could connect once to a bluetooth printer but subsequent connects failed with "socket closed" no matter what I did.
I found it a bit strange that the workarounds described here would be necessary. After going through my code I found that I had forgot to close the socket's InputStream and OutputSteram and not terminated the ConnectedThreads properly.
The ConnectedThread I use is the same as in the example here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth.html
Note that ConnectThread and ConnectedThread are two different classes.
Whatever class that starts the ConnectedThread must call interrupt() and cancel() on the thread.
I added mmInStream.close() and mmOutStream.close() in the ConnectedTread.cancel() method.
After closing the threads/streams/sockets properly I could create new sockets without any problem.
On newer versions of Android, I was receiving this error because the adapter was still discovering when I attempted to connect to the socket. Even though I called the cancelDiscovery method on the Bluetooth adapter, I had to wait until the callback to the BroadcastReceiver's onReceive() method was called with the action BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.
Once I waited for the adapter to stop discovery, then the connect call on the socket succeeded.
Well, I have actually found the problem.
The most people who try to make a connection using socket.Connect(); get an exception called Java.IO.IOException: read failed, socket might closed, read ret: -1.
In some cases it also depends on your Bluetooth device, because there are two different types of Bluetooth, namely BLE (low energy) and Classic.
If you want to check the type of your Bluetooth device is, here's the code:
String checkType;
var listDevices = BluetoothAdapter.BondedDevices;
if (listDevices.Count > 0)
{
foreach (var btDevice in listDevices)
{
if(btDevice.Name == "MOCUTE-032_B52-CA7E")
{
checkType = btDevice.Type.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(checkType);
}
}
}
I've been trying for days to solve the problem, but since today I have found the problem. The solution from #matthes has unfortunately still a few issues as he said already, but here's my solution.
At the moment I work in Xamarin Android, but this should also work for other platforms.
SOLUTION
If there is more than one paired device, then you should remove the other paired devices. So keep only the one that you want to connect (see the right image).
In the left image you see that I have two paired devices, namely "MOCUTE-032_B52-CA7E" and "Blue Easy". That's the issue, but I have no idea why that problem occurs. Maybe the Bluetooth protocol is trying to get some information from another Bluetooth device.
However, the socket.Connect(); works great right now, without any problems. So I just wanted to share this, because that error is really annoying.
Good luck!
In case somebody is having issues with Kotlin, I had to follow the accepted answer with some variations:
fun print(view: View, text: String) {
var adapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
var pairedDevices = adapter.getBondedDevices()
var uuid = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB")
if (pairedDevices.size > 0) {
for (device in pairedDevices) {
var s = device.name
if (device.getName().equals(printerName, ignoreCase = true)) {
Thread {
var socket = device.createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(uuid)
var clazz = socket.remoteDevice.javaClass
var paramTypes = arrayOf<Class<*>>(Integer.TYPE)
var m = clazz.getMethod("createRfcommSocket", *paramTypes)
var fallbackSocket = m.invoke(socket.remoteDevice, Integer.valueOf(1)) as BluetoothSocket
try {
fallbackSocket.connect()
var stream = fallbackSocket.outputStream
stream.write(text.toByteArray(Charset.forName("UTF-8")))
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
Snackbar.make(view, "An error occurred", Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}.start()
}
}
}
}
Hope it helps
You put
registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter("android.bleutooth.device.action.UUID"));
with "bluetooth" spelled "bleutooth".
Bluetooth devices can operate in both classic and LE mode at the same time. Sometimes they use a different MAC address depending on which way you are connecting. Calling socket.connect() is using Bluetooth Classic, so you have to make sure the device you got when you scanned was really a classic device.
It's easy to filter for only Classic devices, however:
if(BluetoothDevice.DEVICE_TYPE_LE == device.getType()){
//socket.connect()
}
Without this check, it's a race condition as to whether a hybrid scan will give you the Classic device or the BLE device first. It may appear as intermittent inability to connect, or as certain devices being able to connect reliably while others seemingly never can.
i also faced with this problem,you could solve it in 2 ways , as mentioned earlier use reflection to create the socket
Second one is,
client is looking for a server with given UUID and if your server isn't running parallel to client then this happens.
Create a server with given client UUID and then listen and accept the client from server side.It will work.
Even i had the same problem ,finally understand my issue , i was trying to connect from (out of range) Bluetooth coverage range.
I ran into this problem and fixed it by closing the input and output streams before closing the socket. Now I can disconnect and connect again with no issues.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3039807/5688612
In Kotlin:
fun disconnect() {
bluetoothSocket.inputStream.close()
bluetoothSocket.outputStream.close()
bluetoothSocket.close()
}
If another part of your code has already made a connection with the same socket and UUID, you get this error.
I've had this problem and the solution was to use the special magic GUID.
val id: UUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB") // Any other GUID doesn't work.
val device: BluetoothDevice = bta!!.bondedDevices.first { z -> z.name == deviceName }
bts = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(id) // mPort is -1
bts?.connect()
// Start processing thread.
I suspect that these are the UUIDs that work:
var did: Array<ParcelUuid?> = device.uuids
However, I have not tried them all.
By adding filter action my problem resolved
// Register for broadcasts when a device is discovered
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_STARTED);
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED);
registerReceiver(mReceiver, intentFilter);
I have also receive the same IOException, but I find the Android system demo: "BluetoothChat" project is worked. I determined the problem is the UUID.
So i replace my UUID.fromString("00001001-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB") to UUID.fromString("8ce255c0-200a-11e0-ac64-0800200c9a66") and it worked most scene,only sometimes need to restart the Bluetooth device;
Can someone please help me figure out why I can only get a null file descriptor to a Bluetooth socket opened via BluetoothServerSocket.accept()?
My goal is streaming video between two devices over bluetooth, by writing video to a file descriptor on one side and reading it from a file descriptor on the other side. My Bluetooth connection is good, I can send raw data back and forth, but I can only get a file descriptor on the client side. On the server side, using the same code, I can only get a null file descriptor. In the debugger I can see a file descriptor on the server side at mySocket.mSocketIS.this$0.fd, but I can't figure out how to get access to it. Can anyone help? This is Android 4.4.2, here's my code:
First the broken code (Server side):
// Listen for an incoming Bluetooth connection
class AcceptThread extends Thread
{
// Thread that accepts incoming bluetooth connections
public AcceptThread()
{
try
{
// Open a listening server socket. This is non-blocking
btServerSocket = BA.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord("ServerApp", videoUUID);
} catch(IOException e){ btServerSocket = null; }
} // AcceptThread()
public void run()
{
BluetoothSocket btSocket = null;
// Listen until exception or we have a socket
while(true)
{
try
{
// Blocking call to accept an incoming connection. To get out of this, call cancel() which closes the socket, causing .accept() to throw an exception
btSocket = btServerSocket.accept();
// If we get here, we're connected!
Field pfdField = btSocket.getClass().getDeclaredField("mPfd");
pfdField.setAccessible(true);
ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = (ParcelFileDescriptor) pfdField.get(btSocket);
// >>> ERROR - pfd is null <<<< I can see a fd at mySocket.mSocketIS.this$0.fd;, but how do I access it?
FileDescriptor myFd = pfd.getFileDescriptor();
// ... blah blah...
Now the working code (Client side):
// Connect to a remote device as the client (we are the client)
class ConnectThread extends Thread
{
// ctor
// remoteUUID - The UUID of the remote device that we want to connect to
public ConnectThread(BluetoothDevice btDevice, UUID remoteUUID)
{
// Get a BT socket to connect with the given BluetoothDevice
try
{
// MY_UUID is the app's UUID string, also used by the server code
btClientSocket = btDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(remoteUUID);
}catch(Exception e){ postUIMessage("ConnectThread exception: " + e.toString()); }
} // ConnectThread ctor
public void run()
{
// Cancel discovery because it will slow down the connection
BA.cancelDiscovery();
try
{
// Connect the device through the socket. This will block until it succeeds or throws an exception. To get out, call cancel() below, which will cause .connect() to throw an exception.
btClientSocket.connect();
Field pfdField = btClientSocket.getClass().getDeclaredField("mPfd");
pfdField.setAccessible(true);
ParcelFileDescriptor pfd = (ParcelFileDescriptor) pfdField.get(btClientSocket);
FileDescriptor myFd = pfd.getFileDescriptor(); // Pass this to Recorder.setOutputFile();
// Yay myFd is good!
I found a fix on my side regarding this issue, we are using bluetooth as a server too. I found the file descriptor from the LocalSocket field in BluetoothSocket. My goal was to get teh file and close it.
int mfd = 0;
Field socketField = null;
LocalSocket mSocket = null;
try
{
socketField = btSocket.getClass().getDeclaredField("mSocket");
socketField.setAccessible(true);
mSocket = (LocalSocket)socketField.get(btSocket);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log ( "Exception getting mSocket in cleanCloseFix(): " + e.toString());
}
if(mSocket != null)
{
FileDescriptor fileDescriptor =
mSocket.getFileDescriptor();
String in = fileDescriptor.toString();
//regular expression to get filedescriptor index id
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\[(.*?)\\]");
Matcher m = p.matcher(in);
while(m.find()) {
Log ( "File Descriptor " + m.group(1));
mfd = Integer.parseInt(m.group(1));
break;
}
//Shutdown the socket properly
mSocket.shutdownInput();
mSocket.shutdownOutput();
mSocket.close();
mSocket = null;
try { socketField.set(btSocket, mSocket); }
catch(Exception e)
{
Log ("Exception setting mSocket = null in cleanCloseFix(): " + e.toString());
}
//Close the file descriptor when we have it from the Local Socket
try {
ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor = ParcelFileDescriptor.adoptFd(mfd);
if (parcelFileDescriptor != null) {
parcelFileDescriptor.close();
Log ( "File descriptor close succeed : FD = " + mfd);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log ( "File descriptor close exception " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
I'm facing the following problem:
I am connecting two devices via Bluetooth socket, one tablet android and a bluetooth device like reader barcode, up to now it's ok, the problem is, when a read the barcode by the bluetooth device and I send it to tablet, the bar code sometimes it's sent in two parts, for example, if I read a barcode with content "212154521212", the tablet receive "2121" and after "54521212", Anyone know tell me what should I do to avoid this?
Thanks in advanced.

[/code]
This isn't a Bluetooth error. The Bluetooth device is sending all of the data to your application, but you are reading the stream before all of the data have been received. You could check for the amount of bytes available() on the stream before reading, if you know the exact length of the data; you could concatenate the results of all of the reads until you reach a known end point. Or you could put in an arbitrary time delay and hope the transmission completed in that time.
You would create the Bundle and Message after the while loop that collects the input string, because you don't know the entire string until that loop finishes. (Unless you are expecting multiple strings in one connection, in which case you need more complex code to handle partial numbers).
Use OutputStream.flush() to force send the all data.
