    <p>I am trying to communicate via Bluetooth between an Android tablet and an Arduino with a BlueSmirf Bluetooth dongle. In my Android code, I first check the list of already paired devices for the one I am looking for. If it is not in there, I start discovering. Both possibilities work to the point where the status LED on the BlueSmirf turns green to indicate a successfull connection. But only if the device was not paired before I started the app, I am also able to send/receive data via Bluetooth. If the device was paired before, the connection is established more reliably and also faster, but no data can be send or received. Do you have any idea why that could be? Many thanks in advance!</p> <p>Here is the relevant code:</p> <pre><code>public void connect() { // I know I should be using an intent here... while (!bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) { bluetoothAdapter.enable(); } pairedDevices = bluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices(); if (pairedDevices.size() &gt; 0) { for (BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices) { if (device.getName().equals("FireFly-8AAD")) { mDevice = device; } } } if (mDevice == null) { // BroadcastReceiver registered with IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND) registerReceiver(mReceiver, find); if (!bluetoothAdapter.isDiscovering ()) { bluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery(); } } while (mDevice == null) { // Wait for BroadcastReceiver to find the device and // connect } if (mDevice != null) { // Create socket connection in a new thread Connect connection = new Connect(); new Thread(connection).start(); } while (mSocket == null) { // Wait for successfull socket connection } if (mSocket != null) { // Get input/ouputstream Communication communicate = new Communication(); new Thread(communicate).start(); } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>I now also tried to replace this part:</p> <pre><code>if (pairedDevices.size() &gt; 0) { for (BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices) { if (device.getName().equals("FireFly-8AAD")) { mDevice = device; } } } </code></pre> <p>with this:</p> <pre><code>if (pairedDevices.size() &gt; 0) { for (BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices) { if (device.getName().equals("FireFly-8AAD")) { mDevice = bluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(device.getAddress()); } } } </code></pre> <p>as suggested here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9282867/android-bluetooth-accept-connect-with-already-paired-devices">Android Bluetooth accept() / connect() with already paired devices</a></p> <p>But it still doesn't work...</p> <p>UPDATE 2:</p> <p>I replaced</p> <pre><code>device.getName().equals("FireFly-8AAD") </code></pre> <p>with</p> <pre><code>device.getAddress().equals("MAC-Address here") </code></pre> <p>Still same problem.</p> <p>I also tried running the whole connection process in a new thread opposed to only running socket.connect() and socket.getInput/OuputStream in their own, but this doesn't help either.</p> <p>UPDATE 3:</p> <p>I thought it might help if I also provide the code that establishes a connection with which I can send/receive data:</p> <pre><code>private class mBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { private String discoveredDeviceName; @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String action = intent.getAction(); if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) { discoveredDeviceName = intent.getStringExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_NAME); } if (discoveredDeviceName.equals("FireFly-8AAD")) { bt_device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE); } } }; </code></pre>

    1. COSorry to be a java nazi, but to make the code a bit more readable for us, try sticking to the java naming conventions. http://java.about.com/od/javasyntax/a/nameconventions.htm

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
