Never used the bluetooth API, although regarding your other question you can write down data to a file. Files are stored under folder files/ in your application home directory (usually, data/data/<package- name>/
If you are going to use a ContenProvider (most likely a sqlite database) I would skip the XML serialize step. Maybe you could read your data from your ContentProvider and componse XML output on-the- fly, then send it to your peer. For parsing XML I used SAX and works fine, I did not try any DOM API, do not even know if there is any delivered together with Android. br On Mar 27, 7:56 pm, "Megha Joshi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > It is possible to send data via bluetooth using the RFCOMM class.
