Does not get data from Arduino - bluetooth to Android Device

I want to communication between Arduino with Bluetooth and Android Device
In Arduino, I am using
SoftwareSerial.h
and below is the code
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
int ledPin1 = 5;
int state = 0;
int flag = 0;
SoftwareSerial mySerial(0, 1);
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(ledPin1, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW);
Serial.begin(9600);
mySerial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
if(Serial.available()>0){
state = Serial.read();
flag = 0;
}
if (mySerial.available()) {
int k = mySerial.read();
mySerial.write(k);
}
}
and from Android side I am using BluetoothSPPLibrary
there is class named BluetoothService.java
in that there is ConnectedThread
public void run()
{
Log.d(TAG, "run: Called");
byte[] buffer;
ArrayList<Integer> arr_byte = new ArrayList<Integer>();
// Keep listening to the InputStream while connected
while (true) {
try {
int data = mmInStream.read();
Log.d(TAG, "run: "+data);
if(data == 0x0A) {
} else if(data == 0x0D) {
buffer = new byte[arr_byte.size()];
for(int i = 0 ; i < arr_byte.size() ; i++) {
buffer[i] = arr_byte.get(i).byteValue();
}
// Send the obtained bytes to the UI Activity
mHandler.obtainMessage(BluetoothState.MESSAGE_READ
, buffer.length, -1, buffer).sendToTarget();
arr_byte = new ArrayList<Integer>();
} else {
arr_byte.add(data);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
connectionLost();
// Start the service over to restart listening mode
BluetoothService.this.start(BluetoothService.this.isAndroid);
break;
}
}
}
but
int data = mmInStream.read();
here data is not coming from above code

You're missing some information here. Which Arduino board are you using? Based on the fact you're trying to send bluetooth using a Serial connection, I'm assuming you have an external bluetooth chip/board, which is it? If you are using one are you absolutely sure it's wired correctly. Is it using Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy, the two have very different protocols. That information will help.

It also connected with VPN and show the key symbol on top of the bar, but dont found any server entry in my server Interfaces.Same server I register in mobile network it Connected and I found the Server entry in my server Interfaces.
Is there any server Implementation require?
Am I wrong in above VPN service or I make the mistake in it?
Is there other way for connecting the VPN using the Username,password and server Id?

Try this :
void startVPN(String name) {
Intent i=new Intent("doenter.onevpn.ACTION_CONNECT");
i.putExtra("name",name);
i.putExtra("force", true);
i.putExtra("force_same", false);
startActivity(i);
}
void restartVPN(String name) {
Intent i=new Intent("doenter.onevpn.ACTION_CONNECT");
i.putExtra("name",name);
i.putExtra("force", true);
i.putExtra("force_same", true);
startActivity(i);
}
void stopVPN() {
Intent i=new Intent("doenter.onevpn.ACTION_DISCONNECT");
// Stops any VPN regardless of name
startActivity(i);
}

Send Data From Arduino to Android App via Bluetooth

Hello i can send data from android to arduino but i cant send data from arduino to android via Bluetooth on procesing i dont get any Error but I cant see anything on display of android app.. i used for blueToothSerial.print(XXX); for arduino side .. and used text(readMessage , width,heigth); for processing side.
Please check it out . Where is my fault ? . What am I missing ?

you forgot to declare the mode (int ) in data on line 14
SoftwareSerial blueToothSerial(RxD, TxD);
int led = 9 ;
int in1Pin = 10;
int in2Pin = 12;
int in3Pin = 11;
int in4Pin = 13;
int data = 100;

I see a fault on the Arduino code - don't think that 23 should be there.
if (recvChar=='r') {
motor.step(300);
digitalWrite(led,HIGH);23
Also - this code requires that you send data from the serial monitor before any Arduino data is sent through bluetooth . Try to echo back the character received by the arduino on this line
Serial.print(recvChar);
Change it to
blueToothSerial.print(recvChar);

Burak have you solved the problem? I am working with Arduino-Android communication for my project. Try to use blueToothSerial.write("burak:");
Also to test your program run some test program. Make some changes with Rx,Tx and you can test it via Arduino Serial Monitor.
/*
Pinout:
8 --> BT module Tx
9 --> BT module Rx
*/
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(8, 9); // RX, TX
void setup()
{
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("I am ready to send some stuff!");
// set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
mySerial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() // run over and over
{
if (mySerial.available())
Serial.write(mySerial.read());
while (Serial.available())
mySerial.write(Serial.read());
}
Also you could try to use ready app from GooglePlay, like "Bluetooth Terminal". If it works with this then look in your code. Please check this for now and later we will be able to continue.

Can't Connect to a bluetooth device (from Phone to HC-05)

I download the code Sketch 6 : Send receive bytes From this site : http://arduinobasics.blogspot.com.tr/2013/03/arduinobasics-bluetooth-android_25.html I can see "device discovered : (device name) and FOUND on my screen. But I can't Connect to device ( i try to connect to HC05 Bluetooth module from Galaxy s4). (i have never seen purple screen. i had just green , i think problem is after " foundDevice=true;" Please check it . Its my final year project and i cant do anything without it :(

hello i changed the code for my final year project preparing .
i removed the some codes related to RGBs. i suggest you to check out the datasheet of the chainable RGB . look at code bottom of datasheet ,you will understand clearly that where came to another codes .
anyway . i used servo motor instead of RGB . and as i said before i changed the name of the bt device as HC-05.

How to get an InputStream via bluetooth and put in a Textview?

This is my first question in SO. I am new (and excited) in Android programming and here is my PROBLEM: I am building a project using my android phone and a microcontroller. The microcontroller has a distance sensor and transmits its value. I have managed to get connected to the microcontroller and send correct signals, but I can't get the distance mesurment, or anything else. The application doesn't crash or anything it just won't get the data from the microcontroller (my computer gets the data from microcontroler (data is a string)). My code from the android app is this:
public class Accelerometer extends Activity {
// Intent request codes

I have read everything over the subject (BluetoothChat, projects of people on the internet ...) and I am very tired. Any help is much appreciated.
--EDIT--
I have managed to get the inputstream into my texteview. My problem now is that my application when it is trying to connect to my device (microcontroller or my pc) gets stuck in the progressdialog (it is connected to the device but the progressdialog will not go away)and waits for something to come in. After a while (like 5-6 secs) even if something comes in it remains stuck and I have to force it to close. I think the problem is in the way the handler handles the thread. In the debugger there is no problem all threads run ok.
The changes in my code are:
In my ConnectThread:
`/** Thread used to connect to a specified Bluetooth Device */
public class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private String address;
private boolean connectionStatus;
ConnectThread(String MACaddress) {
address = MACaddress;
connectionStatus = true;
}
public void run() {
// When this returns, it will 'know' about the server,
// via it's MAC address.
try {
BluetoothDevice device = btAdapter.getRemoteDevice(address);
// We need two things before we can successfully connect
// (authentication issues aside): a MAC address, which we
// already have, and an RFCOMM channel.
// Because RFCOMM channels (aka ports) are limited in
// number, Android doesn't allow you to use them directly;
// instead you request a RFCOMM mapping based on a service
// ID. In our case, we will use the well-known SPP Service
// ID. This ID is in UUID (GUID to you Microsofties)
// format. Given the UUID, Android will handle the
// mapping for you. Generally, this will return RFCOMM 1,
// but not always; it depends what other BlueTooth services
// are in use on your Android device.
try {
btSocket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(SPP_UUID);
} catch (IOException e) {
connectionStatus = false;
}
}catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
connectionStatus = false;
}
// Discovery may be going on, e.g., if you're running a
// 'scan for devices' search from your handset's Bluetooth
// settings, so we call cancelDiscovery(). It doesn't hurt
// to call it, but it might hurt not to... discovery is a
// heavyweight process; you don't want it in progress when
// a connection attempt is made.
btAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
// Blocking connect, for a simple client nothing else can
// happen until a successful connection is made, so we
// don't care if it blocks.
try {
btSocket.connect();
} catch (IOException e1) {
try {
btSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e2) {
}
}
// Create a data stream so we can talk to server.
try {
outStream = btSocket.getOutputStream();
} catch (IOException e2) {
connectionStatus = false;
}
try{
inStream = btSocket.getInputStream();
}catch (IOException e2){
connectionStatus = false;
}
int bytes; // bytes returned from read()
// Keep listening to the InputStream until an exception occurs
while (connectionStatus) {
try {
byte[] b = new byte[64]; // buffer store for the stream
// Read from the InputStream
bytes = inStream.read(b); // Get number of bytes and message in "buffer"
mHandler.obtainMessage(RECIEVE_MESSAGE, bytes, -1, b).sendToTarget(); // Send to message queue Handler
} catch (IOException e) {
break;
}
}
// Send final result
if (connectionStatus) {
mHandler.obtainMessage(1);
}else {
mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
}
}
`
And in my mHandler in my onCreate method:
mHandler = new Handler() {
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
if (myProgressDialog.isShowing()) {
myProgressDialog.dismiss();
}
// Check if bluetooth connection was made to selected device
if (msg.what == 1) {
// Set button to display current status
connectStat = true;
connect_button.setText(R.string.connected);
// Reset the BluCar
microcOut = 0;
ledStat = false;
write(microcOut);
}else if (msg.what == 2){
byte[] readBuf = (byte[]) msg.obj;
String strIncom = new String(readBuf, 0, msg.arg1); // create string from bytes array
sb.append(strIncom); // append string
int endOfLineIndex = sb.indexOf("."); // determine the end-of-line
if (endOfLineIndex > 0) { // if end-of-line,
String sbprint = sb.substring(0, endOfLineIndex); // extract string
sb.delete(0, sb.length()); // and clear
incoming.setText(sbprint); // update TextView
connectStat = true;
connect_button.setText(R.string.connected);
}else{
incoming.setText("Problem!");
}
}else {
// Connection failed
failToast.show();
}
}
};
Another thing I need is how to empty the buffer when it is full.
PS: Thanks EVERYONE for his/her help I am really grateful.

As an alternative to using the handler, just get the information in the run of the thread..
I have done it this way and it works for me.
public void run() {
byte[] buffer = new byte[128]; // buffer store for the stream
int bytes; // bytes returned from read()
// Keep listening to the InputStream until an exception occurs
while (true) {
try {
bytes = mmInStream.read(buffer);
byte[] readBuf = (byte[]) buffer;
String strIncom = new String(readBuf, 0, bytes); // create string from bytes array
sb.append(strIncom); // append string
int endOfLineIndex = sb.indexOf("\r\n"); // determine the end-of-line
if (endOfLineIndex > 0) {
// add the current string to eol to a local string
String sbprint = sb.substring(0, endOfLineIndex);
// get the start and end indexes of the heading
int startHeading = sb.indexOf("HE");
int endHeading = sb.indexOf("/HE");
// set the heading
Henry.this.setCurrentHeading(sb.substring((startHeading + 2), endHeading));
// get the start and end indexes of the front range
int startFrontRange = sb.indexOf("FR");
int endFrontRange = sb.indexOf("/FR");
// get the front range
Henry.this.currentFrontRange = sb.substring((startFrontRange + 2), endFrontRange);
... ( grab all the information you need here ) ...
// debugging output what we have
// System.out.println("recv: " + sbprint);
// clean out the sb to ready next run
sb.delete(0, sb.length());
}
I save all the information retrieved from the serial connection in my Application (Henry), then any Activity that wants to use the info gets it from the application. If the view needs to have a updated perspective on the information, I add a timer to the view to kick of a refresh method as often as I like. This has the added advantage of being able to use the information from anywhere in your android application.
I send about 10 data points from the arduino to the device and about 3 data points from the device to the arduino this way. I added my own markup around the datapoints to identify them.
Hope this helps!
