how to send and divide information into individual textview (Hc 05)

I am trying to make an application that connects to the arduino using the HC 05 module with three ultrasonic sensors. I was able to connect to the application and receive information from a particular sensor. But when I display the distance information of each sensor it is displayed in one text view (I would like three) but I have no idea what I could change in my code. Thanks in advance for your answer. Below I put the code in sequence: from arduino ideas, android studio app, android studio thread
int LtriggerPin = 13;
int LechoPin = 12;
int RtriggerPin = 11;
int RechoPin = 10;
int CtriggerPin = 9;
int CechoPin = 8;
int info = 0;
int state = 0;
void setup() {
Serial1.begin(9600);
pinMode(LtriggerPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LechoPin, INPUT);
pinMode(RtriggerPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(RechoPin, INPUT);
pinMode(CtriggerPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(CechoPin, INPUT);
}
void loop(){
sensor();
}
void sensor() {
int durationL, distanceL;
int durationR, distanceR;
int durationC, distanceC;
digitalWrite(LtriggerPin, HIGH);
delay(10);
digitalWrite(LtriggerPin, LOW);
durationL = pulseIn(LechoPin, HIGH);
distanceL = (durationL/2) / 29.1;
digitalWrite(RtriggerPin, HIGH);
delay(10);
digitalWrite(RtriggerPin, LOW);
durationR = pulseIn(RechoPin, HIGH);
distanceR = (durationR/2) / 29.1;
digitalWrite(CtriggerPin, HIGH);
delay(10);
digitalWrite(CtriggerPin, LOW);
durationC = pulseIn(CechoPin, HIGH);
distanceC = (durationC/2) / 29.1;
Serial1.print("Left Sensor ");
Serial1.print((String) distanceL + " cm" );
delay(500);
Serial1.println(" ");
Serial1.print("Right Sensor ");
Serial1.print((String) distanceR + " cm" );
delay(500);
Serial1.println(" ");
Serial1.print("Center Sensor ");
Serial1.print((String) distanceC + " cm" );
delay(500);
Serial1.println(" ");
Serial1.println(" ");
Serial1.println(" ");

Transfer Image throug BLE in android

I'm transfering an image of 1 mb using the following code.
The image gets transferred successfully if a thread delay is implemented between each packets.
If the thread delay is not set all the packets are sent from BluetoothGattServer but the BluetoothGattCallback does not receive all the packets.
Can anyone guide in sending the packets without the thread delay

As can be read in the documentation at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothGattServerCallback.html#onNotificationSent(android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice,%20int):
When multiple notifications are to be sent, an application must wait
for this callback to be received before sending additional
notifications.
This means after you have called notifyCharacteristicChanged, you cannot call notifyCharacteristicChanged again until the callback onNotificationSent has been received. So you need to remove your for-loop and refactor your code to follow the API rules.
The reason for this is to get flow control. If you just push new packets faster than the BLE link's throughput, the internal buffers get full and packet loss will occur. That's why a delay might seem to work, but it's not a robust solution so that's why you should wait for the onNotificationSent callback since that means the BLE stack is ready to accept new packets.

Reading temperature through DHT11 using Android Things

I am using Raspberry pi3 and DHT11 sensor for temperature monitoring project.
I have following pin positions
VCC to pin no : 2
Ground to pin no : 6
Output to GPIO : BCM22 i.e pin no 15
Code that I have used:

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Log.d("Weather station", "Started Weather Station");
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mTxtStatus = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtStatus);
try {
tempGpio = service.openGpio("BCM22");
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if (i == 10) {
handler.removeCallbacks(this);
} else {
getTemp();

}
}
// check we read 40 bits (8bit x 5 ) + verify checksum in the last
// byte
if ((j >= 40) && checkParity()) {
value.append(dht11_dat[2]).append(".").append(dht11_dat[3]);
Log.i("Logger", "temperature value readed: " + value.toString());
mTxtStatus.append("\nTemp " + value.toString());
} else {

}
} catch (IOException e) {

private boolean checkParity() {
return dht11_dat[4] == (dht11_dat[0] + dht11_dat[1] + dht11_dat[2] + dht11_dat[3] & 0xFF);
}
}
Above code is giving me "Nothing is working" as output.
Any suggestion where I might be doing wrong?

You can't read data from DHT11 using Raspberry Pi 3 with Android Things because duration of DHT11 response pulses is from 26-28 us to 70 us, but max frequency of RP3 with AT GPIO is around 3kHz, which means around 300 us pulse duration. Take a look at answers to this question.

Android USB host read from device

I'm trying to get some data out of a USB device connected to my Android phone that is on host mode. I'm able to send data to it, but reading fails.
I've looked at several examples and tried all I could but I don't have any experience in USB communication, although by now I know a little, and I've been stuck on this longer that I care to admit.
I'm not very familiar with the endpoint configuration, but I know is that my device uses a CDC type communication method and both the output (from phone to device) and input are registered.
Here's the whole class that manages the USB connection with the only device that is connected to the phone, it's not finished by any means, but I'd like to get that reading part to work before I go any further.

I keep getting -1 from the read() method which indicates some kind of error, it always times out. Maybe the problem comes from the connection configuration, I've tried several (read: trial and error) and none worked, surprisingly I don't need any configuration to send data to the device.
Edit
It must also be noted that the cable I'm using is micro-USB to micro-USB and it only works in one way, that is my device is powered by my phone only when the plug A connected to phone and plug B connected to device, not the other way around... it seems very strange. The fact that I'm able to send data and not receive when plugged the right way remains.
EDIT 2
I found that somebody else had the same problem but it seems he wasn't able to solve it.
EDIT 3
I finally found the solution on this page:
Another major oversight is that there is no mechanism for the host to notify the device that there is a data sink on the host side ready to accept data. This means that the device may try to send data while the host isn't listening, causing lengthy blocking timeouts in the transmission routines. It is thus highly recommended that the virtual serial line DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal be used where possible to determine if a host application is ready for data.
So the DTR signal was mandatory and all I had to do was to add this to the interface configuration:
connection.controlTransfer(0x21, 0x22, 0x1, 0, null, 0, 0);
EDIT 4
If anybody is interested I finished the project and it's open source and published on my GitHub account. It's not stable all the time though (see the notes) and I don't plan working on it anymore, but it works. Feel free to use it for your own projects.

You can use UsbSerial Lib of from https://github.com/mik3y/usb-serial-for-android
My example code:
UsbManager usbManager = null;
UsbDeviceConnection connection = null;
UsbSerialDriver driver = null;
UsbSerialPort port = null;
usbManager = (UsbManager) context.getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
List<UsbSerialDriver> availableDrivers = UsbSerialProber.getDefaultProber().findAllDrivers(manager);
// Open a connection to the first available driver.
for (UsbSerialDriver usd : availableDrivers) {
UsbDevice udv = usd.getDevice();
if (udv.getVendorId()==0x067B || udv.getProductId()==2303){
driver = usd;
break;
}
}
connection = usbManager.openDevice(driver.getDevice());
port = driver.getPorts().get(0);
driver.getDevice().
}
if (connection == null) return;
try{
port.open(connection);
port.setParameters(4800, UsbSerialPort.DATABITS_8, UsbSerialPort.STOPBITS_1, UsbSerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
try{
byte buffer[] = new byte[250];
//Log.d("GPS_REQ", "->");
int numBytesRead = port.read(buffer, 500); //5000;
}catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("GPS_ERR", e.getLocalizedMessage());
}

Transferring data USB

I am trying to send and receive data over USB, my device, the Acer Iconia A500 has everything needed to connect to the device and everything, that is fine and works properly, but when I try sending and receiving data it doesn't behave as expected. This is my code
for( ; ; ) { //this is the main loop for transferring
String get = "$getPos";
byte[] getBytes = get.getBytes();
conn.bulkTransfer( epOUT, getBytes, getBytes.length, 500 );
try {
Thread.sleep( 500 );
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
conn.bulkTransfer( epIN, buffer, 4096, 500 );
StringBuilder byStr = new StringBuilder();
for( int i = 0; i < buffer.length; i++ ) {
if( buffer[i] != 0 ) {
byStr.append( buffer[i] + ", " );
}
}
l( byStr );
}
catch( InterruptedException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if( mStop ) {
mStopped = true;
return;
}
l( "sent " + counter );
counter++;
counter = (byte)( counter % 16 );
}
Its meant to return an Array of bytes about 80 characters long but it only returns two bytes back which are 1 and 96, if there was a error on the USB devices end it would still return a few more then two. Is my code even close to correct? I based it of the USB to serial article by serverbox.

I was trying to send data over the wrong baud rate.
Here's the code that works. Posting it for everyone who is using FTDI devices and needs help.
private Runnable mLoop = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
UsbDevice dev = sDevice;
if (dev == null)
return;
