I need to send string message from Raspberry PI to Android device. I am getting message first time only. After that it does not work at all. I am using PYTHON code in Raspberry PI. After first time, it is unable to search for a bluetooth device, which is running that UUID. However, if I restart Android application - again it works fine for first time. I am using AcceptThread as suggested here. I have not used ConnectThread or ConnectedThread in my application, as I need only incoming messages. Do I need to close something on Pause or Destroy. Or, do I need to do something which is not mentioned in that page?
Here is that code:
private UUID MY_UUID = UUID.fromString("1e0ca4ea-299d-4335-93eb-27fcfe7fa848");
private AcceptThread acceptThread;
private class AcceptThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothServerSocket mmServerSocket;
public AcceptThread() {
// Use a temporary object that is later assigned to mmServerSocket,
// because mmServerSocket is final
BluetoothServerSocket tmp = null;
try {
// MY_UUID is the app's UUID string, also used by the client code
tmp = bluetoothAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(TAG, MY_UUID);
} catch (IOException e) { }
mmServerSocket = tmp;
}
public void run() {
BluetoothSocket socket = null;
// Keep listening until exception occurs or a socket is returned
while (true) {
try {
socket = mmServerSocket.accept();
} catch (IOException e) {
break;
}
// If a connection was accepted
if (socket != null) {
// Do work to manage the connection (in a separate thread)
manageConnectedSocket(socket);
try {
mmServerSocket.close();
}
catch(IOException e){
}
break;
}
}
}
/** Will cancel the listening socket, and cause the thread to finish */
public void cancel() {
try {
mmServerSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) { }
}
}
I am not using PI message, just logging a string. As mentioned above, it works first time:
private void manageConnectedSocket(BluetoothSocket socket) {
Log.i(TAG, "Hurray!! I am here");
//acceptThread.cancel();
}
Here is the PYTHON code in Raspberry PI:
import sys
import bluetooth
uuid = "1e0ca4ea-299d-4335-93eb-27fcfe7fa848"
service_matches = bluetooth.find_service( uuid = uuid )
if len(service_matches) == 0:
print "couldn't find the BluetoothWithPi service"
sys.exit(0)
first_match = service_matches[0]
port = first_match["port"]
name = first_match["name"]
host = first_match["host"]
print "connected to \"%s\" on %s" % (name, host)
sock=bluetooth.BluetoothSocket( bluetooth.RFCOMM )
sock.connect((host, port))
sock.send("Hello from Raspberry PI!!")
sock.close()
First time it displays 'Connected to ...' message. Second time it displays 'Couldn't find...' message.
