send and receive string with bluetooth in 2 android devices

hi guys i am trying to send string from one phone to anther .
1) from one phone(client) i am clicking the paired listview to connect with the anther device(ConnectThread).
2) the second phone which is the server alerts that he has been connected with the device in step 1(AcceptThread).
3) after he get connected he start a new managerconnection thread and send along a string(in AcceptThread after connecting is sucessfull it starts a new managerConnection thread .
4) the other phone(after been connected to server it starts a new managerConnecting thread) should get the bytes from function read and put in the log how much bytes he read it seems its not getting any bytes at all can someone tell me what should i changed in my code?

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!

How to connect a mobile and a printer via bluetooth in android?

Can anyone tell me how to connect a mobile and a printer via bluetooth to print a text file in android?
That is,if i click the print button from the android application,the printer has to print that corresponding file.As per my knowledge i have searched for it in Google, but i couldn't find any good samples to do it.Has anyone have at-least one sample android program to do this, it will be better to clear my chaos.
Suggestions please.
Thanks for your precious time!..

Bluetooth Printer Android Example
Create a new android project BlueToothPrinterApp in your editor.
Step 1:
Create main activity like below
com.example.BlueToothPrinterApp / BlueToothPrinterApp.java

android:layout_below="#+id/message"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
android:text="Print"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Step 4:
Now edit your AndroidManifest.xml
Add bluetooth permission and admin permission.
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<manifest
xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
package=”com.example.BlueToothPrinterApp”

<application
android:label=”#string/app_name”
android:icon=”#drawable/ic_launcher”>
<activity
android:name=”BlueToothPrinterApp”
android:label=”#string/app_name”>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=”android.intent.action.MAIN” />
<category android:name=”android.intent.category.LAUNCHER” />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=”BTDeviceList”></activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Compile and run this application. Enter message and press print button.
You will see list of bluetooth devices. Select bluettoth printer.
Check print on your bluetooth printer.
here is the CODE Reference...

You can use this awesome lib, you can connect to any printer and print easily,
https://github.com/mazenrashed/Printooth
you can download it by:
implementation 'com.github.mazenrashed:Printooth:${LAST_VERSION}'
and use it like:
var printables = ArrayList<Printable>()
var printable = Printable.PrintableBuilder()
.setText("Hello World")
printables.add(printable)
BluetoothPrinter.printer().print(printables)

The sendCommand function in the Android is logging that it was sent. The acc.read function is printing length to Serial output as -1, as in no input. Speaking of which, the Android logs do not show errors, so I'm thinking this might be an Arduino thing.
My Manifest has an Intent filter that's registering the device, although permissions might have something to do with it.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_ACCESSORY_ATTACHED" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_ACCESSORY_ATTACHED"
android:resource="#xml/accessory_filter" />
</activity>
Thanks in advance for any thoughts,

I have developed an RC helicopter that can be controlled using android by sending messages from the android to the arduino located on top of the Helicopter using Bluetooth Stick, i did not use usb yet for any project but when you are sending messages to the arduino you are using serial communication weather connected threw USB or Bluetooth i suggest to simply use Serial.read and every message you send to arduino end it with some symbol '#' for example just to separate messages and get the message character by character
this is the code to read the full message ended with '#' from the Serial port:
String getMessage()
{
String msg=""; //the message starts empty
byte ch; // the character that you use to construct the Message
byte d='#';// the separating symbol
if(Serial.available())// checks if there is a new message;
{
while(Serial.available() && Serial.peek()!=d)// while the message did not finish
{
ch=Serial.read();// get the character
msg+=(char)ch;//add the character to the message
delay(1);//wait for the next character
}
ch=Serial.read();// pop the '#' from the buffer
if(ch==d) // id finished
return msg;
else
return "NA";
}
else
return "NA"; // return "NA" if no message;
}
this function checks if there any message in the buffer if not it returns "NA".
if that did not help please inform.

Figured out what's going wrong - sendCommand is executing from the asynchronous TempTask so it doesn't get passed a valid reference to the FileOutputStream. I can execute sendCommand onClick from the main thread and receive on the Arduino just fine.
