    <p>Is there any way to send a file using the android bluetooth API using OBEX?</p> <p>I need to send a file to a printer that supports OBEX OPP only.</p> <p>I can send the file using the android intent ACTION_SEND to the printer with no problems, but I'd need to send it programmatically..</p> <p>I can connect to the bluetooth printer using OBEX OPP UUID (1105) with the method createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(), but then I should follow obex specifications to send a file using OBEX.. it isn't as simple as writing bytes to the output socket..</p> <p>But if the intent ACTION_SEND can handle this, why there isn't any api for developers to send the files?</p> <p>I also checked some third party libs like BlueCove, but I still didn't get it to work.. (Nexus One &amp; Galaxy Tab throw an exception saying that native library bluecove_armv71 isn't available.. and LG Optimus One says that bluecove_armv61 isn't available..)</p> <p>i'm stuck, any ideas?</p> <p><strong>WORKING SOLUTION</strong></p> <p>For anyone trying to send a file to a bluetooth device with no luck, I provide a working solution using content providers (thanks to KPBird):</p> <p>Grab the java class <em>BluetoothShare</em> from <a href="http://hi-android.info/src/com/android/bluetooth/opp/BluetoothShare.java.html">here</a></p> <p>Than, the following code sends a file on the SD card to a bluetooth device:</p> <pre><code>BluetoothDevice device; String filePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/file.jpg"; ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(BluetoothShare.URI, Uri.fromFile(new File(filePath)).toString()); values.put(BluetoothShare.DESTINATION, device.getAddress()); values.put(BluetoothShare.DIRECTION, BluetoothShare.DIRECTION_OUTBOUND); Long ts = System.currentTimeMillis(); values.put(BluetoothShare.TIMESTAMP, ts); Uri contentUri = getContentResolver().insert(BluetoothShare.CONTENT_URI, values); </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>Some people are experiencing problems with the solution above, it has been tested on the following devices:</p> <p>Works on:</p> <ul> <li>LG Optimus One (Android 2.1)</li> <li>HTC Desire (Android 2.2)</li> <li>Google Nexus One (Android 2.2 and 2.3)</li> <li>Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android 4.0.3)</li> <li>HTC Amaze (Android 2.3.4)</li> </ul> <p>Has issues on:</p> <ul> <li>LG P500 (Android 2.3.3)</li> <li>Galaxy TAB P500 (Android 2.2)</li> <li>Google Nexus S (Android 4.1.2)</li> </ul> <p>If you are able to test this snippet on devices which are not listed above, please <strong>provide the details of the devices</strong> (brand, name, android version, etc..) with which you tested it, and the test results, in a comment below, I will update the question including your data.</p>

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.
