Thanks for the reply. I do agree that my code needs some re-organization. This happens to be my first app.
I found out the root cause of the problem. The message from the bluetooth device is broken on several occasions. I get 3 digit numbers from the device. The handler seems to read only 2 digits on certain occasions. I need to determine a mechanism to make sure that the message is read properly. Sai On Sun, Jul 8, 2012 at 2:29 PM, G.
