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.

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);
}
}

Arduino to Android: Reading from bluetooth input executes twice when .print is only executed once in arudino

I'm writing a program in android that comminicates with an arduino two ways. When communicating back to the android I'm using .print to write to the serial port back to the android. But what happens is that android registers two messages. If the first message is "message" the first message is "m" and the other is "essage" why is splitting the message?
Arduino code:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
int rx = 2;
int tx = 3;
SoftwareSerial bt(tx, rx);
int led1 = 10;
char data = 0;
bool room1on;
void setup() {
bt.begin(9600);
bool room1on = false;
pinMode(led1, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
if (bt.available() > 0) {
data = (char)bt.read();
if(data == '1'){
if(room1on){
digitalWrite(led1, LOW);
bt.print("room1;OFF");
}
else if(!room1on){
digitalWrite(led1, HIGH);
bt.print("room1;ON");
}
room1on = !room1on;
}
}
}

When "1" is sent to the ardunio, android response like this:

Your messages come in fragmented. This is quite normal for TCP connections. You have to concatenate them together to get the original message.
For that you have to know the end of the message. One would use a message separater character for that.
You can make it yourself easy to send a newline char after every message string. For instance "lamp1;ON\n". You send a line then.
At receiving side you can wait for a \n to come in but much easier is to read a line with .readLine()

Bluetooth Pairing rejects during attempt to programmatically connect BT in android

Little explanation of the scenario which rejects the pairing for couple of times class will start a thread on it's onCreate method.Now this thread will continuously monitor the port for a incoming message and once it gets the message it'll extract the mac address of the headphones from it. Once it get the mac address it'll try to connect it programmatically where it fails for couple of attempts and then connects it successfully.

Android/Java BluetoothSocket InputStream won't read data

I am implementing a simple app that sends and receives data between two devices via bluetooth.
I am following the android developer's blog's bluetoothchat example, but my application seems unable to read from the inputstream of a socket.
Writing to the socket is fine. The app does not throw an error nor update the textview as it is supposed to. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Start an android thread when a button pressed

I have 3 buttons to turn on a different led, using wifi. What am I trying to do is to start a thread when a button is pressed. The thread will do a networking stuff which is to send a String of instruction code. But when I pressed the button, it stops running. And I want to display the exception in the toast if there is an exception occured. Please help.
Here is the code:
This is the activity that will display 3 buttons.
package com.gfhz.appliancecontrol;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class LightsMenuActivity extends MainActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_lights_menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.display_lights_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
private void checkLightsStatus() {
/*instructionID = "0400";
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ConnectionSocket.class);
intent.putExtra(INSTRUCTION, instructionID);
startActivity(intent);*/
}
public void powerLamp1 (View view) {
ConnectionSocket cs = new ConnectionSocket();
cs.sendInstruction("0401");
}
public void powerLamp2(View view) {
ConnectionSocket cs = new ConnectionSocket();
cs.sendInstruction("0402");
}
public void powerLamp3(View view){
ConnectionSocket cs = new ConnectionSocket();
cs.sendInstruction("0403");
}
}
And this is the activity that will execute the thread.

} catch (IOException e) {

}
}
}
}
}).start();

}
}
