I have an app that checks for data on the serial ports. It uses JNI to read from /dev/ttys*. When it does not find the data on the serial ports, it then uses the Java APIs to open a bluetooth socket and check for the data via bluetooth.
The problem is that the BluetoothSocket.connect call fails with "java.io.IOException: Connection timed out". If we change the code, such that we don't first check the serial port, then the bluetooth connection succeeds. We were also testing with a second bluetooth app, the bluetooth chat sample, that consistently worked. However, when we ran the first app, followed by the bluetooth chat, then the bluetooth chat also failed. A reboot of the phone, or toggle of the bluetooth, allowed the bluetooth chat to succeed. So all I can gather, is that somehow, reading from the serial ports is causing bluetooth to fail. Please note that not all Android phones have support for /dev/ttys*. Does anybody have any idea why the serial ports would mess with bluetooth? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
