Hello Everyone I am working on Bluetooth and I want to pair my device with the finded bluetooth and connect with the paired bluetooth.
I want to know how to do this. And I have also read about client server approach in which we use bluetoothserver socket and bluetooth socket and listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord and createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord methods in which we pass mac and uuid.
I want to know where we use this approach and how to find the remote device UUId. Thanks in advance.
You don't need to use the mentioned methods, at least for pairing the devices.
Try using Intents to pair. This code might let you get more familiar with Bluetooth.
public void pairDevice(BluetoothDevice device)
{
String ACTION_PAIRING_REQUEST = "android.bluetooth.device.action.PAIRING_REQUEST";
Intent intent = new Intent(ACTION_PAIRING_REQUEST);
String EXTRA_DEVICE = "android.bluetooth.device.extra.DEVICE";
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_DEVICE, device);
String EXTRA_PAIRING_VARIANT = "android.bluetooth.device.extra.PAIRING_VARIANT";
int PAIRING_VARIANT_PIN = 0;
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_PAIRING_VARIANT, PAIRING_VARIANT_PIN);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent);
}
Intent intent = new Intent(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_PAIRING_REQUEST);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_DEVICE, device);
int PAIRING_VARIANT_PIN = 272;
intent.putExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_PAIRING_VARIANT, PAIRING_VARIANT_PIN);
sendBroadcast(intent);
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_BLUETOOTH_SETTINGS);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_PAIR_DEVICE);
If you want a better approach on how to connect these paired devices, take a look at Bluetooth on AndroidDevelopers:
private class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
private final BluetoothDevice mmDevice;
public ConnectThread(BluetoothDevice device) {
// Use a temporary object that is later assigned to mmSocket,
// because mmSocket is final
BluetoothSocket tmp = null;
mmDevice = device;
// Get a BluetoothSocket to connect with the given BluetoothDevice
try {
// MY_UUID is the app's UUID string, also used by the server code
tmp = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(MY_UUID);
} catch (IOException e) { }
mmSocket = tmp;
}
public void run() {
// Cancel discovery because it will slow down the connection
mBluetoothAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
try {
// Connect the device through the socket. This will block
// until it succeeds or throws an exception
mmSocket.connect();
} catch (IOException connectException) {
// Unable to connect; close the socket and get out
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException closeException) { }
return;
}
// Do work to manage the connection (in a separate thread)
manageConnectedSocket(mmSocket);
}
/** Will cancel an in-progress connection, and close the socket */
public void cancel() {
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) { }
}
}

I want connect from my app in android device to remote device (paired). remote device is a module HC-05. my cod is :
private class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
private final BluetoothDevice mmDevice;
public ConnectThread(BluetoothDevice device) {
// Use a temporary object that is later assigned to mmSocket,
// because mmSocket is final
BluetoothSocket tmp = null;
mmDevice = device;
// Get a BluetoothSocket to connect with the given BluetoothDevice
try {
// MY_UUID is the app's UUID string, also used by the server
// code
tmp = mmDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(MY_UUID);
} catch (IOException e) {
}
mmSocket = tmp;
}
#Override
public void run() {
// Cancel discovery because it will slow down the connection
ba.cancelDiscovery();
try {
mmSocket.connect();
} catch (IOException e) {}
// Do work to manage the connection (in a separate thread)
// manageConnectedSocket(mmSocket);
// connected();
tv1.setText("connect");
}
/** Will cancel an in-progress connection, and close the socket */
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public void cancel() {
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
but get error in line mSocket.connect().
when run my app then get message : unfortunately (app name) has stopped.
please help.
Do not silently ignore IOException. If you get IOException that means you. for any reason, could not create socket. mSocket then remains null and so you get the exception.
Might be you do not have bluetooth permission in manifest.
I am using Bluetooth API of android. I am here creating client-server connection using BluetoothServerSocket & BluetoothSocket but my program stuck at the certain point.
// Create a BroadcastReceiver for ACTION_FOUND
private BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
// When discovery find a device
if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
// get the BluetoothDevice object from the Intent
BluetoothDevice mBluetoothDevice = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
Log.i("MainActivity", "Device Name: " + mBluetoothDevice.getName() + " Address: " + mBluetoothDevice.getAddress());
new AcceptThread().start();
}
}
};
private class AcceptThread extends Thread {
private BluetoothServerSocket mBluetoothServerSocket ;
public AcceptThread() {
try {
mBluetoothServerSocket = mBluetoothAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord("BT_SERVER", UUID.fromString("a60f35f0-b93a-11de-8a39-08002009c666"));
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("MainActivity", e.getMessage());
}
}
#Override
public void run() {
BluetoothSocket mBluetoothSocket;
// Keep listening until exception occurs or a socket is returned
while(true) {
try {
mBluetoothSocket = mBluetoothServerSocket.accept();
} catch (IOException e) {
break;
}
// If a connection was accepted
if(mBluetoothSocket != null) {
// transfer the data here
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Socket is created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();;
try {
// close the connection to stop to listen any connection now
mBluetoothSocket.close();
} catch(IOException e) { }
}
}
}
}
Here my program stuck
mBluetoothServerSocket = mBluetoothAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord("BT_SERVER", UUID.fromString("a60f35f0-b93a-11de-8a39-08002009c666"));
I could not catch why it getting stuck at this point, Any idea to you for this ?
From your question it is unclear whether your application is a client or server or both. For writing bluetooth client-server applications, android phone at any instance plays a single role of server or a client. If your phone is server, then you need to listen for connections from other bluetooth devices using method listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(). Then use accept() to complete the connection.
In case android phone acts as client, it will initiate a bluetooth connection to other devices. For such scenario, your broadcast receiver is needed. We need to scan for available bluetooth devices with startDiscovery() method. Your broadcast receiver's onReceive() is called when a new bluetooth device is found. To connect to this found device, call createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord() with desired UUID.
Hope this helps.
This may be obvious but did you instantiate your BluetoothAdapter? Accept Thread uses the adapter without intializing it.
myBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
While listening, set the discovery name to a specific value then used listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord method in broadcast receiver.
private class AcceptTask extends AsyncTask<UUID,Void,BluetoothSocket> {
#Override
protected BluetoothSocket doInBackground(UUID... params) {
String name = mBtAdapter.getName();
try {
//While listening, set the discovery name to a specific value
mBtAdapter.setName(SEARCH_NAME);
BluetoothServerSocket socket = mBtAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord("BluetoothRecipe", params[0]);
BluetoothSocket connected = socket.accept();
//Reset the BT adapter name
mBtAdapter.setName(name);
return connected;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
mBtAdapter.setName(name);
return null;
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(BluetoothSocket socket) {
if(socket == null) {
return;
}
mBtSocket = socket;
ConnectedTask task = new ConnectedTask();
task.execute(mBtSocket);
}
}
// End
I've been having this problem for a while and haven't been able to figure it out.
I have a android application that puts all paired devices in a listview. When you click one of the list items, it will initiate a request to connect to that bluetooth device.
I can get the list of devices with their addresses no problem.
The problem is that once I try to connect I get an IOException on socket.connect();
The error message is as follows:
"connect read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1"
Here is my code. ANY suggestions would be appreciated. I'm pretty stuck on this.
fyi: the "onEvent" methods is a library that simplifies callbacks...that part works.
When the user clicks on a list items this method is called "public void onEvent(EventMessage.DeviceSelected event)"

Here is my logcat. Pretty short.

That last line is in the "Catch" section of a try/catch...I'm just logging the error message.
Please note, there is about a 20 second gap between "trying to connect to device" and "failed to connect"
The jelly bean bluetooth stack is markedly different from the other versions.

In gist:
The UUID is a value that must point to a published service on your embedded device, it is not just randomly generated. The RFCOMM SPP connection you want to access has a specific UUID that it publishes to identify that service, and when you create a socket it must match the same UUID.
If you are targeting 4.0.3 device and above , use fetchUuidsWithSdp() and getUuids() to find all the published services and their associated UUID values. For backward compatibility read the article
I got the same error message after connecting the socket a second time. I simply checked if the socket is already connected.
if(!mmSocket.isConnected())
mmSocket.connect();
I was testing on Android 4.4.2 (Moto G).
We want to remote a roboter via Bluetooth. Now we are using the android example. we want to connect as client. The code before this part is working. Now we get an error at:
manageConnectedSocket(mmSocket);
"The method is undefined". What can we do to solve this problem ? Thanks for answers.
private class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
private final BluetoothDevice mmDevice;
public ConnectThread(BluetoothDevice device) {
// Use a temporary object that is later assigned to mmSocket,
// because mmSocket is final
BluetoothSocket tmp = null;
mmDevice = device;
// Get a BluetoothSocket to connect with the given BluetoothDevice
try {
// MY_UUID is the app's UUID string, also used by the server code
tmp = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(MY_UUID);
} catch (IOException e) { }
mmSocket = tmp;
}
public void run() {
// Cancel discovery because it will slow down the connection
mBluetoothAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
try {
// Connect the device through the socket. This will block
// until it succeeds or throws an exception
mmSocket.connect();
} catch (IOException connectException) {
// Unable to connect; close the socket and get out
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException closeException) { }
return;
}
// Do work to manage the connection (in a separate thread)
manageConnectedSocket(mmSocket);
}
/** Will cancel an in-progress connection, and close the socket */
public void cancel() {
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) { }
}
}
According to this, manageConnectedSocket doesn't exist.
manageConnectedSocket() is a fictional method in the application that
will initiate the thread for transferring data, which is discussed in
the section about Managing a Connection.
And you haven't defined it in your code. You need to create the method yourself, or follow the rest of the Android tutorial.
I am doing a bluetooth project in which i want to connect two devices using blutooth programaticaly.
I am following the guidelines and codes of tf developer.android.com.Can any one help me to resolve this issue?Here is the code i have tried.
Can anyone also tell me the from where the constructor receives the devices object?
private class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
private final BluetoothDevice mmDevice;
<!-- can anyone tell me from where device object comes here --!>
public ConnectThread(BluetoothDevice device) {
// Use a temporary object that is later assigned to mmSocket,
// because mmSocket is final
BluetoothSocket tmp = null;
mmDevice = device;
// Get a BluetoothSocket to connect with the given BluetoothDevice
try {
// MY_UUID is the app's UUID string, also used by the server code
tmp = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(MY_UUID);
} catch (IOException e) { }
mmSocket = tmp;
}
public void run() {
// Cancel discovery because it will slow down the connection
mBluetoothAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
try {
// Connect the device through the socket. This will block
// until it succeeds or throws an exception
mmSocket.connect();
} catch (IOException connectException) {
// Unable to connect; close the socket and get out
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException closeException) { }
return;
}
// Do work to manage the connection (in a separate thread)
manageConnectedSocket(mmSocket);
}
/** Will cancel an in-progress connection, and close the socket */
public void cancel() {
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) { }
}
}
Thanks inadvance
Here's some of my code that accomplishes the task.
/**
* Searches the list of paired devices for the device. Returns
* if found, throws Exception otherwise.
*
* #param sTargetDeviceName
* #return BluetoothDevice
*/
private BluetoothDevice findDevice(String sTargetDeviceName)
throws Exception {
BluetoothAdapter adapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
Set<BluetoothDevice> devices = adapter.getBondedDevices();
for (BluetoothDevice device : devices) {
String sDeviceName = device.getName().trim();
if (sDeviceName.startsWith(sTargetDeviceName)) {
return device;
}
}
throw new Exception("Device " + sTargetDeviceName + " not found");
}
To use the above code, the device must already be paired.
Please see the documentation:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/wireless/bluetooth.html
specifically the "Finding Devices" section.
