set delay between send and receive data from bluetooth

I set a program to send data from the android app to a microcontroller through bluetooth using SPP. mentioned microcontroller device sends a response back after 150 milisec as processing time. My app receives an appropriate response by bluetooth response handler as RecieveBuffer.And application must send data again for the case when the microcontroller doesn't send an appropriate. I used a while conditional statement like below to send data alternatively until getting a response (send flag is true after app gets an appropriate response by bluetooth response handler class).
while(!SendFlag) SendData( SendBuffer+"\r" );
there is a program that my program sends data consecutively and Bluetooth response handler never gets any response since while statement that checks send flag(send flag is true after app gets an appropriate response).
How can I set a delay that makes my app waiting for the response? I mean I have to send data and wait for the response and if response is inacceptable I have to send data again.
without while statement, I can send data and get a response. but I have to check whether received data are acceptable too.

Thank you a lot in advance.

I found a way to solve the mentioned problem so that I applied a CountDownTimer which sends data every 1 sec through 3 sec and the timer will be canceled due to avoid wasting time if sent data and response are ok both. in regular conditions, this timer sends data once since the application receives an appropriate response.
SendBuffer=LoadDateTimeBuffer();
CountDownTimer yourCountDownTimer=new CountDownTimer(3000, 1000) {

Data sent from Android to HC-05 Bluetooth Arduino not showing

I am creating an Android app that allows me to control a device connected to Arduino using Bluetooth, with Android 4.4.2, Arduino Uno and HC-05 Module.
Right now I'm finding serious difficulties to print data in the Arduino serial (in order to verify if it's really working). I tried everything I have found in this or other forums related to this topic.
For the moment, I have been able to detect the devices, pair with them and create the Socket and the OutputStream, but for some reason the data doesn't show up.
The code is 2 basic Activities and their layouts (Android) and the Arduino code:
Image of how it shows the available devices.
Image of how now that device is paired with our Android Device.
GetPaired.java:
Basically gets the available devices, show them in a custom ListView, allows you to pair/unpair with them and after you get the device paired, you go to the ConnectionControl activity.

And the Arduino code:
In the Arduino hardware I connected the 5V and already entered in AT mode to the Bluetooth to change its name before.
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX
void setup() {
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
}
// 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());
}
}
What can I try next?

UPDATE:
If you have to use this code for a project feel free to use it.
I have managed to solve the issue, the Arduino code was the problem, this is the working code:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial BTserial(11, 10); // RX | TX
char c = ' ';
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Arduino is ready");
// HC-05 default serial speed for commincation mode is 9600
BTserial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
if (BTserial.available())
{
c = BTserial.read();
Serial.write(c);
}
// Keep reading from Arduino Serial Monitor and send to HC-05
if (Serial.available())
{
c = Serial.read();
BTserial.write(c);
}
}

Why isn't my bluetooth activity able to connect to the device I tap on?

I followed a Bluetooth tutorial video on how to create a connection using my app with other Bluetooth devices.
However, I am unable to connect to the devices directly on the app itself. I was expecting the code to allow me to do something like "Connecting..." once I tap on the device name I want to engage a connection with.

Below is my bluetooth.xml code:

</menu>
Just hoping for any help in any way. Much appreciated!

Unable to connect to the bluetooth Module

This weekend, I decided to work with arduino. Currently I am facing a difficulty in connecting my phone to Arduino. I have successfully passed the address of the module to ledControl.java. I am using AsyncTask to carry out the operation for connecting to arduino. Can anyone pls guide me.
NOTE: m unable to connect with any of the devices having bluetooth.

Android Bluetooth as client i cant connect with my arduino

I have a problem, I can not establish a connection with my bluetooth shield, I've been with another application and if the device works, indicated by a light that is connected, but with this app, that does not happen. the app crashes when this method is called mmSocket.connect (), if this is not bad socket acquiring
  tmp = mmDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord (MY_UUID);
please help i am new to this =)

what is the UUID you are providing?
To get connected to any bluetooth profile running on a remote device, you need to establish socket connection with the UUID [of the service you want to connect.].
For details list on UUID of different services, refer to assigned numbers.pdf in www.bluetooth.org
