Android connect to Blackberry 655+ bluetooth headset - android

I'm trying to write a test app which connects to BlackBerry 655+ bluetooth headset. Basically what i want to do in this app is connect to the headset and catch button pressures on it. I think that could be done by reading the socket's inputstream. Anyway, i get some errors right when i try to connect to the socket. Here's the code:
BluetoothSocket tmp = null;
try {
tmp = mDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(
UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB"));
} catch(IOException e) {}
mSocket = tmp;
mBtAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
try {
mSocket.connect(); // THIS ONE GIVES A "Service discovery failed" exception
} catch (IOException e1) {
Method m = null;
try {
m = mDevice.getClass().getMethod(
"createRfcommSocket", new Class[] {int.class});
} catch (SecurityException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
tmp = (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(mDevice, 1);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mSocket = tmp;
try {
mSocket.connect(); // THIS ONE GIVES A "Connection refused" EXCEPTION
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
What am i doing wrong? I already tried different ports in the m.invoke(mDevice, X) instruction but it always gives "Connection refused"

I worked with Bluetooth before but with python and Java ME so I understand the basics. I don't know much about the android API though.
Where did you get the UUID code from? That could be one of the reasons for the Service discovery failed.
Each bluetooth device may have several services each of them associated to one port (or channel). If you are running ubuntu try using the hci tools to know to which channel connect or which service to search for.

Here you have an official list with UUIDs from Bluetooth SIG. For Headset Profile the UUID is 0x1108, the UUID used by you it is Base Universally Unique Identifier and it is used for SDP.

Android XMPPTCPConnection: Machine is not on the network

While on Wifi, XMPPTCPConnection in our Android app is occasionally throwing "SocketException: Machine is not on the network" even though the phone does have net connection. When users turns off Wifi and turns it on again, the app is able to connect instantly.
When this exception occurs, the XMPPTCPConnection object is disconnected and set to NULL and created afresh before attempting reconnection. Yet it does not help. Below is the code snippet.
try {
if (null != connection)
connection.disconnect();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
connection = null;
XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration connConfig = createConfiguration();
if (null != connConfig)
{
connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(connConfig);
try {
connection.connect();
} catch (StackOverflowError e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (XMPPException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Please let me know how to fix this issue. Appreciate your help.
This is the stack trace.

Android application is freezed - Socket Exception

I made android application that connects to remote server and send some data.
Remote server is Windows application.
Connection method:
private void ConnectToMonitor() {
try {
s = new Socket(SERVER_ADDRESS, TCP_SERVER_PORT);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
s.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
This works perfectly if server is online. Application is sending data and server is receiving. But if server is offline android app. is blocked. My question is how to handle this? How to continue with application and avoid error even the server is down?
Remember to call this outside the UIThread.
Follow this tutorial. In android all connections need to be managed outside the UIThread, in the tutorial I linked you will find easy ways to post your results back to the UI (handlers, asynctasks...)
Of course we don't know if the problem is about the thread with just the given code, but it is the most usual error.
First remember to set the socket timeout :
mSocket.setSoTimeout(timeout); //in milliseconds
You can however specify different timeout for connection and for all other I/O operations through the socket:
private void connectToMonitor() {
try {
socket = new Socket();
InetAddress[] iNetAddress = InetAddress.getAllByName(SERVER_ADDRESS);
SocketAddress address = new InetSocketAddress(iNetAddress[0], TCP_SERVER_PORT);
socket.setSoTimeout(10000); //timeout for all other I/O operations, 10s for example
socket.connect(address, 20000); //timeout for attempting connection, 20 s
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
socket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Second, in Android, you should perform any network I/O in separate threads!
As an example, using regular Java Threads :
String threadName = getClass().getName() + "::connect";
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
connectToMonitor();
}
}, threadName).start();
You can set A timeout for the socket. Use Socket.setSoTimeout method
socket.setSoTimeout(timesinmilis);
by using this your socket will throw a socket timout exception. You can catch that and do what you want

Android Bluetooth socket connection takes too long and eventually failed

I am trying to connect a bluetooth device from the Android phone. In most cases, the connection is successful.
I am making the socket connection using the following code:
if (isUsingHtcTypeConnectionScheme) {
try {
if (LOG_ENABLED) Log.d(TAG,"connecting to SPP with createRfcommSocket");
Method m = mRemoteDevice.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket", new Class[] { int.class });
tmpSocket = (BluetoothSocket)m.invoke(mRemoteDevice, 1); // may be from 1 to 3
} catch (java.lang.NoSuchMethodException e){
Log.e(TAG, "java.lang.NoSuchMethodException!!!", e);
} catch ( java.lang.IllegalAccessException e ){
Log.e(TAG, "java.lang.IllegalAccessException!!!", e);
} catch ( java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException e ){
Log.e(TAG, "java.lang.InvocationTargetException!!!", e);
}
}
if (tmpSocket == null) {
try {
if (LOG_ENABLED) Log.d(TAG,"connecting to SPP with createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord");
tmpSocket = mRemoteDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(uuid); // Get a BluetoothSocket for a connection with the given BluetoothDevice
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "socket create failed", e);
}
}
mBtSocket = tmpSocket;
try {
mBtSocket.connect();
} catch (IOException e) {
connectionFailed();
setState(STATE_IDLE);
return;
}
And if the other device's bluetooth is not on, it will throw the IOException in 2-3 seconds, this is the normal behavior.
But sometimes the connection takes 20-30 seconds and eventually failed, and the other device's bluetooth is on.
I am wondering why this happens, if the phone cannot connect to device, it should throw IOException in 2-3 seconds. But now is taking 20-30 seconds to throw the IOException. (And the other device is ready for connection actually)
I tested on several Android phones and also have this problem, so may not be related to specific phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Trouble coneccting Pc with Android 2.1 mobile for the Bluetooth Chat example

I'm new to programming Android devices. I'm making an school project which involves an Android (Mini-Xperia pro with Android 2.1) and bluetooth communication with a device.
I'm trying to go step by step to undesrstand all of the programming stuff and to learn all I can.
I've got an Bluetooth adapter for the PC, I'm working with Windows XP so I only connect it and it's already installed.
Well, I'm working over the Bluetooth Chat sample that comes with the SDK and I've already changed the UUID to:
private static final UUID MY_UUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb");
With my mobile I entered to settings and made my device paired to my Pc (it says paired but with out conection).
But I don't know what I'm doing wrong cause I open the Bluetooth chat application on my mobile, try to connect to my pc and it says "unable to connect device".
After a lot of tries, it connects to transmit from the pc to the phone:
A
AT
And the connection is lost (this takes less than 2 seconds!!)
Can anyone help me please tell me what am I doing wrong or what's the problem??
Thanks.
You need to change the ConnectThread code to the following: Note the change code which creates the socket.
private class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
private final BluetoothDevice mmDevice;
public ConnectThread(BluetoothDevice device) {
mmDevice = device;
BluetoothSocket tmp = null;
Method m = null;
try {
m = device.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket",
new Class[] {int.class});
} catch (SecurityException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
tmp = (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(device, 1);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
mmSocket = tmp;
}
you need to run some application like a hyper-terminal on the PC side over the Bluetooth Serial COM port to which the android application is connecting.

Android 2.1 How to disconnect a connected bt device

I have referenced the link:
Disconnect a bluetooth socket in Android
but still it doesn't work for me. always through an exception at BluetoothSocket::connect()
My case is that if User has paired and connected a remote bt device via the phone, how can I programmatically disconnect it??
I got a hunch that if I want the connection to be disconnected I should close the input, output stream then perform BluetoothSocket close. And I can't find anywhere to get the socket on the connected device. the API createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord is to create a socket. Thank you!
PS, the remote bt device is headset
follow the below procedure
if (mmSocket != null) { try { mmSocket.close(); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("Exception", "while closing socket"+e.toString()); } mmSocket = null; }
if (mmOutStream != null) { try { mmOutStream.close(); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("Exception", "while closing outstream"+e.toString()); } mmOutStream = null; }
if (mmInStream != null) { try { mmInStream.close(); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("Exception", "while closing inputstream"+e.toString());} mmInStream = null; }
