Hi, 1) "As your wrote "a bluetooth device that is sending the temperature to the android phone in a constant _stream_", so not expect that the characters are coming somehow synced. Depending on internal socket stuff sometimes just a single char is received, sometimes more at once. The receiver is responsible to collect the read chars and do the sematic, i.e. the interpretation of the data by yourself. I would recommend to pack the data at the sender with chars which allows the receiver to pick the payload in between easily. E.g. when you want to transport temperature values the payload in something out of these chars "0123456789.". Then you could put a prefix (e.g. "^") and a postfix (e.g. "$") which would result in "^38$". The delimiting characters actually do not matter just use which is guaranteed not in the payload. The receiver then just collects the strings received and post process which is simply searching for the prefix and the postfix. Wait until both are in the collected string, then remove them and the chars in between is your payload, your temperature value.
2) Seems that the handler mHandler is one from the thread the read() is done and not from thread the actvitiy runs in as you want. If so the handleMessage() could only be executed when the thread is not blocked anymore what happens when the while(true) loop is broken by the exception. Hope I am right and it helps! regards spachner -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
