How to receive serial data using android bluetooth - android

I am new to android. I am designing an android application that receives serial data from a hardware device through bluetooth. I am working on Htc desire S. I used the sample Bluetooth chat code to receive data. But the data received is incorrect. It misses some values. Can anyone please provide me any other sample code to receive large amount of data through bluetooth and save it in a file.

try this code :
Activity:

I tried this out for transmitting continuous data (float values converted to string) from my PC (MATLAB) to my phone. But, still my App misreads the delimiter '\n' and still data gets garbled. So, I took the character 'N' as the delimiter rather than '\n' (it could be any character that doesn't occur as part of your data) and I've achieved better transmission speed - I gave just 0.1 seconds delay between transmitting successive samples - with more than 99% data integrity at the receiver i.e. out of 2000 samples (float values) that I transmitted, only 10 were not decoded properly in my application.
My answer in short is: Choose a delimiter other than '\r' or '\n' as these create more problems for real-time data transmission when compared to other characters like the one I've used. If we work more, may be we can increase the transmission rate even more. I hope my answer helps someone!

The issue with the null connection is related to the findBT() function. you must change the device name from "MattsBlueTooth" to your device name as well as confirm the UUID for your service/device. Use something like BLEScanner app to confrim both on Android.

Take a look at incredible Bluetooth Serial class that has onResume() ability that helped me so much.
I hope this helps ;)

You can use android-bluetooth-serial library to send/receive messages.
Add this package as dependency in app build.gradle.
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.harry1453:android-bluetooth-serial:v1.1'
// RxJava is also required.
implementation 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.1.12'
implementation 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.0.2'
}
In your app, add a class to interact with device.
private void connectDevice(String mac) {
bluetoothManager.openSerialDevice(mac)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(this::onConnected, this::onError);
}
private void onConnected(BluetoothSerialDevice connectedDevice) {
// You are now connected to this device!
// Here you may want to retain an instance to your device:
deviceInterface = connectedDevice.toSimpleDeviceInterface();
// Listen to bluetooth events
deviceInterface.setListeners(this::onMessageReceived, this::onMessageSent, this::onError);
// Let's send a message:
deviceInterface.sendMessage("Hello world!");
}
private void onMessageSent(String message) {
// We sent a message! Handle it here.
Toast.makeText(context, "Sent a message! Message was: " + message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); // Replace context with your context instance.
}
private void onMessageReceived(String message) {
// We received a message! Handle it here.
Toast.makeText(context, "Received a message! Message was: " + message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); // Replace context with your context instance.
}
You can see the readme page for more details on using this package.

Google Glass GDK: How to Communicate with Android Device

I'm looking for a way to send data between my Android Device and Google Glass that doesn't rely on Cloud API's. Is this supported? I see the Bluetooth connections in the My Glass app, which makes me think it can be done. Is there an example source code that shows how this is done? Or do I have to decompile the MyGlass app to figure it out?
Is there a preferred method for doing this kind of data transfer? Ideally I'd like to transfer data in both directions.
Ok, for the requesters....
EDIT: The code below still works, but I've put it into a git repo for those who are interested...
https://github.com/NathanielWaggoner/GoogleGlassBlutooth
Here is my Bluetooth Host/Client code. It's not perfect - You're going to need some patience, and there are some bugs on reconnection and such, but it does work. I've been sending data up to Glass From the Hand Held and driving UI updates (publishing live cards, updating live cards etc...) for about three days using this now.

I'll leave the UI as an exercise to the reader.
There is no preferred method, but if you're looking to do it wirelessly, a Bluetooth 3.0 RFCOMM does work.
If you provide more specifics about the problem you're trying to solve in your question, I'll be able to provide a more specific answer.
Several things I noticed when following this solution (awesome work by the way!)
1) I could only create a bluetooth connection when my phone and the Google Glass were not already paired through the MyGlass app - If you are having trouble establishing a connection, try forgetting that pairing.
2) The Glass API does not support controlling your bluetooth connection through intents using commands like
Intent discoveryIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE);
discoveryIntent.putExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_DISCOVERABLE_DURATION, DISCOVER_DURATION);
startActivityForResult(discoveryIntent, REQUEST_BLU);
In order to make the Glass headset discoverable (rather than the phone it is connecting to), I needed to follow solutions similar to those like user4934624 provided at this question and shantanu gave at this question. I invoked a hidden method to access bluetooth functionality directly. Warning: the hidden method seems to have been there for years, but there is no guarantee it will continue to be in future APIs.
// this method allows us to make the device discoverable without alerting the users
// NOTE!!!! This uses a hidden method, so it may be removed from the API in the future
public void makeDiscoverable (){
Class <?> baClass = BluetoothAdapter.class;
Method[] methods = baClass.getDeclaredMethods();
// we want to use method setScanMode(int mode, int duration)
// there are 2 setScanModes
// so select the first setScanMode you see
// test to see which method is the one we want
//for (int i = 0; i<50; i++) {Log.d(Integer.toString(i), methods[i].getName());}
//I had trouble calling the first setScanMode, so I called the second.
// I need to pass in a discoverable time, but it stays discoverable indefinitely
// Thus you must turn off the setScanMode as soon as the connection is established
// I should probably write in some other security stuff to turn it off if connection fails
// maybe a timer running on a different thread?
Method mSetScanMode = methods[38];
try {
mSetScanMode.invoke(myBt, BluetoothAdapter.SCAN_MODE_CONNECTABLE_DISCOVERABLE,300);
//mSetScanMode.invoke(myBt, BluetoothAdapter.SCAN_MODE_CONNECTABLE_DISCOVERABLE);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("discoverable", e.getMessage());
}
}
// this method allows us to make the device not discoverable without alerting the user
// NOTE!!!! This uses a hidden method, so it may be removed from the API in the future
public void makeNotDiscoverable (){
// see notes for makeDiscoverable
Class <?> baClass = BluetoothAdapter.class;
Method [] methods = baClass.getDeclaredMethods();
Method mSetScanMode = methods[38];
try {
mSetScanMode.invoke(myBt, BluetoothAdapter.SCAN_MODE_CONNECTABLE,300);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("discoverable", e.getMessage());
}
}
Note that I first ran a test that output the names of all the methods in the class I mirrored; that allowed me to narrow my search for which method I wanted to use.
The JoeGlass app for android claims to be a replacement for MyGlass. It will talk to your glass directly, using a bluetooth connection. I have not tried yet it but it is open source (github), so if it works, you are good.
My book Beginning Google Glass Development has a full chapter on this topic, with fully working example code on using Bluetooth and socket to transfer data between Glass and Android (or iOS) devices.
The book is available at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Google-Glass-Development-Jeff/dp/1430267887
and the source code is available for download at http://www.apress.com/downloadable/download/sample/sample_id/1562/

Android + Arduino Bluetooth Data Transfer

I can get my Android app to connect via Bluetooth to my Arduino. However no data can be transmitted between them. Below is my setup and code:

Arduino Code:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
int bluetoothTx = 45;
int bluetoothRx = 47;
SoftwareSerial bluetooth(bluetoothTx, bluetoothRx);
void setup() {
//pinMode(45, OUTPUT);
//pinMode(47, INPUT);
pinMode(53, OUTPUT);
//Setup usb serial connection to computer
Serial.begin(9600);
//Setup Bluetooth serial connection to android
bluetooth.begin(115200);
bluetooth.print("$$$");
delay(100);
bluetooth.println("U,9600,N");
bluetooth.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
//Read from bluetooth and write to usb serial
if(bluetooth.available()) {
char toSend = (char)bluetooth.read();
Serial.print(toSend);
flashLED();
}
//Read from usb serial to bluetooth

bluetooth.print(toSend);
flashLED();
}
}
void flashLED() {
digitalWrite(53, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(53, LOW);
}
I've tried using 115200 and 9600 for the baud rates, and I've tried setting the bluetooth rx and tx pins as input/output and output/input. The Arduino is receiving serial data from the PC but can't send it to the Android (I can see this because of the flashLED() method).
The Android can't send any data at all to the Arduino. However they are both connected because the green light on the modem turns on and goes off and the red led flashes when I close the connection. The sendData() method doesn't throw an exception because otherwise showMessage("SEND FAILED"); would appear.
I also have this in my manifest .xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8" />
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Code taken from:
http://bellcode.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/android-and-arduino-bluetooth-communication/
Just solved the problem for anyone else who came across this page.
Seems that my Arduino doesn't like me using digital pins for serial communication, I use TX and RX instead with this code taken from http://jondontdoit.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/bluetooth-mate-tutorial.html, also seems that 9600 is a good baud instead of 115200.
/***********************
Bluetooth test program
***********************/
//TODO
//TEST THIS PROGRAM WITH ANDROID,
//CHANGE PINS TO RX AND TX THO ON THE ARDUINO!
//int counter = 0;
int incomingByte;
void setup() {
pinMode(53, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// see if there's incoming serial data:
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
// read the oldest byte in the serial buffer:
incomingByte = Serial.read();
// if it's a capital R, reset the counter
if (incomingByte == 'g') {
digitalWrite(53, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(53, LOW);
delay(500);
//Serial.println("RESET");
//counter=0;
}
}
//Serial.println(counter);
//counter++;
//delay(250);
}
I was getting the same thing. I went into 'Settings'->'Wireless and Networks'->'Bluetooth Settings' and paired the device. When I went back and re-ran my code, it connected, no exception. I put controls in my UI for displaying the paired devices, I'm going to see if I can code to manage pairing devices from my UI.
I was able to get this to run only after replacing this section:
Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = BluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
if(pairedDevices.size() > 0)
{
for(BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices)
{
if(device.getName().startsWith("FireFly-"))
{
mmDevice = device;
Log.d("ArduinoBT", "findBT found device named " + mmDevice.getName());
Log.d("ArduinoBT", "device address is " + mmDevice.getAddress());
break;
}
}
}
with this:
Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
mmDevice = mBluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice("00:06:66:46:5A:91");
if (pairedDevices.contains(mmDevice))
{
statusText.setText("Bluetooth Device Found, address: " + mmDevice.getAddress() );
Log.d("ArduinoBT", "BT is paired");
}
where I entered the address of my Bluetooth device.
The original code finds the device and returns the correct address, but
mmSocket.connect();
generates an exception "java.io.IOException: Service discovery failed"
Suggestions?
For anyone who finds this page, but is stuck using a hardcoded mac address as above, set mac address to NULL, and insert this code into OnResume()
try{
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/mac.txt");
FileInputStream fileIS = new FileInputStream(f);
buf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fileIS));
String readString = new String();
while((readString = buf.readLine())!= null){
address = readString;
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
ALSO, don't forget to allow eclipse to include necessary libraries, and place your mac address into mac.txt on the root of the SD Card, then you can simply give users a text file with their mac address while still allowing the app to be downloaded from the market without customizing every instance.
#Backwards_Dave just for a curious, try to connect to 45 and 46 pins and use this simple code. I use it and have no problem. You will be able to send data from Arduino Serial Monitor and read it there.
/*
Pinout:
45 --> BT module Tx
46 --> BT module Rx
*/
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(45, 46); // 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());
if (Serial.available())
mySerial.write(Serial.read());
}
Also, what BlueTooth shield are you using for Arduino? HC-06?
EDIT
Just tested it with Mega2560(don't have 1280) and it works with no problem.
I believe problem was with pinout.
Waiting for your feedback
If you're still looking for an answer, try changing the software serial pins. This is a well known limitation of the library you are using.
Not all pins on the Mega support change interrupts, so only the following can be used for RX: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 50, 51, 52, 53, A8 (62), A9 (63), A10 (64), A11 (65), A12 (66), A13 (67), A14 (68), A15 (69). Refs
Hope this helps.
I think it might be some fault in Bluetooth.. its better to re-install its drivers.. as the code given above looks correct.

Bluetooth: program stuck at connect() method

I'm programming a simple Bluetooth client to send and receive text messages throught RFCOMM as a serial port. I had a look at the Android SDK tutorials and did it in the same way: an Activity which calls a thread to make the connection, and once done, another thread to take care of msg reception.
I'm trying to connect to a Parallax EasyBluetooth. Connection works all right between computer and EasyBT, and also between a Java based mobile and the EasyBT. So the problem must be at the code or, I hope not, at the Android mobile bluetooth chip. Anyway it gets on and off, and detects other devices when scanning, so I guess problem is just my coding.
The problem is that the code gets stuck at the connect() method. So let's see if anyone knows why.
The XML for the activity is simple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello"
/>
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/boton"
android:id="#+id/boton_enviar"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Of course I have added the bluetooth permissions to the Manifiest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
And the code is the following:

There was some code to make a bluetooth scan for devices, but in order to get things simple until it works, I wrote the MAC address manually into a variable. Comments explain this, and also shows where it gets stuck.
Thanks
I think these are causing at least part of your problem:
hiloConectando = new ConnectThread(device);
hiloConectando.run();
and
hiloEscuchas = new ConnectedThread(mmSocket);
hiloEscuchas.run();
You should be calling start(), not run(), e.g.:
hiloConectando = new ConnectThread(device);
hiloConectando.start();

How to get bluetooth RFCOMM to work consistently?

I am trying to build an Android application that will interface with an external GPS receiver via the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP). I am using a Nexus One running 2.3.3. I have managed to get my application to receive data from GPS, but I have two issues: 1) When I connect to the device, it only works some of the time. Sometimes the connection just times out, other times it says the device is busy or in use. 2) I haven't been able to figure out how to send data back to the device, which is probably an issue of how I'm using the streams since the incoming stream is a blocking call.
I moved just the relevant code to a new Android application for testing, which is the following:
/res/layout/main.xml (two buttons and a textview)

I found that using the normal "bsocket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(MY_UUID);" method would usually result in a "Service discovery failed" message for me, so I also tried the "bsocket = (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(device, Integer.valueOf(1));" method. That works more often, but likes to time out when I try to connect.
What am I doing wrong here?
Try listening to the incoming data and writing to the device in separate threads. This way you are separating blocking calls.
Did you have a look at Bluetooth chat sample? The sample uses the similar threading technique.
If you are targeting 2.3 and up (which is currently installed on over 50% of android devices out there) you can use the createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord method to communicate with the device which will surely make it better and more connectable.

Example: Android bi-directional network socket using AsyncTask

Most of the network socket examples I found for Android were one directional only. I needed a solution for a bi-directional data stream. I eventually learned of the AsyncTask. This example shows how to get data from a socket and send data back to it. Due to the blocking nature of a socket that is receiving data, that blocking needs to run in a thread other than the UI thread.
For the sake of example, this code connects to a webserver. Pressing the "Start AsyncTask" button will open the socket. Once the socket is open, the web server waits for a request. Pressing the "Send Message" button will send a request to the server. Any response from the server will be displayed in the TextView. In the case of http, a web server will disconnect from the client once all the data has been sent. For other TCP data streams, the connection will stay up until one side disconnects.

The SendDataToNetwork task runs in the main ui thread, meaning it will crash a Honeycomb or higher app due to NetworkOnMainThreadException Fatal exception. Here's what my SendDataToNetwork looks like to avoid this issue:
public boolean sendDataToNetwork(final byte[] cmd) {
if (_nsocket.isConnected()) {
Log.i(TAG, "SendDataToNetwork: Writing received message to socket");
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
_nos.write(cmd);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.i(TAG, "SendDataToNetwork: Message send failed. Caught an exception");
}
}
}).start();
return true;
}
Log.i(TAG, "SendDataToNetwork: Cannot send message. Socket is closed");
return false;
}
Your SendDataToNetwork does not run on the same thread as doInBackground(). There is a possibility that SendDataToNetwork would start sending data before socket is ready.
To avoid all this just use SendDataToNetwork to save data and signal to background thread that data is ready to be sent.
Since there is possibility that user can press button multiple times, while the old data is still being sent, you should have synchronized Queue inside NetworkTask. Then:
Background thread sets up the socket connection and then goes to sleep (via wait()).
On button press, SendDataToNetwork adds data to queue and wakes up the background thread (via notify()).
When background thread wakes up, it first checks the finish flag. If set, it closes connections and exits. If not it reads data from Queue, sends it to network and goes back to sleep.
You should have finish() method which sets a finish flag (atomic variable, like boolean) and wakes the background thread. This is a way to gracefully exit the background thread.
Take a look at how thread synchronization is done: http://www.jchq.net/tutorial/07_03Tut.htm
More interactive example
Similar to the OP's, but you can control host, port and message + there is a popup error notification if the connection failed.
Usage 1:
get Android and a Linux desktop on a LAN
find the IP of the desktop with ifconfig
run netcat -l 12345 on a terminal
on Android, fill in the IP of the desktop
click contact server
on the terminal, type the reply, and hit Ctrl + D
it appears on the output: section
Usage 2:
hostname google.com
port 80
Message: "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: google.com\r\n\r\n"
Note that some HTTP servers won't close after the reply expecting further requests, and the application will hang until they timeout. Such servers expect you to parse the Content-Width header and close yourself.
If the connection fails, an alert message is shown to the user on a dialog.
