[android-beginners] Re: Bluetooth Debugging on phones
Well, I use Eclipse and view the log file with the LogCat View, which works great -- other than the well-known problem with occasionally having to reset adb or restart eclipse to get the log file refreshed. I can't imagine that using the command line creates some other problem but I haven't tried it. On Jul 27, 2:01 am, Megh msi...@gmail.com wrote: Ah, sorry. Debugging statements like: Log.e(TAG, ++ ON START ++); that would show up on the LogCat when using the emulator, don't work when the phone is plugged in and the app is running on it. I'm wondering if this is true, or it's just me missing something. Also, does anyone have any other recommendations for using debugging statements?

Thank you! On Jun 27, 12:29 am, Indicator Veritatis mej1...@yahoo.com wrote: That was completely uncalled for and even completely unjustifiable. Why, your own response is more like that of a petulant child than any thingDonFrenchsaid. After all Don French gave an excellent list of reasons why it is better to view DDMS LogCat output in Eclipse rather than running it standalone. What is more, he showed very much the opposite of the petulance you so unfairly accuse him of by patiently detailing all these advantages of viewing in Eclipse. Real software professionals recognize your fix it yourself as the real petulance, since real software engineers understand that such bugs should be fixed by the person(s) most familiar with that part of the code. Code diving is all too often a terrible waste of a good engineer's time. Worse yet, it often causes other bugs down the road, because the 'diver' did not understand the code well enough. This is WHY it should be fixed by the person(s) most familiar with the relevant code, not by anyone who feels the need for the fix. Personally, I hope Google's team will find the time to fix it relatively soon, but I am not going to sweat it if they don't. But I will join Don in saying that it would be a valuable fix, it is likely being given too low a priority -- as often happens even in the best- run projects. Finally, if the Google team does recognize this as a bug, how do we find it in the bug database?

Right, I am only familiar with Bluetooth in 2.x. Do you know of any
apps in 2.x that can turn on the BT radio without displaying this

While this does work for Android 2.x, since there is no

Also, this pops up an alert dialog that asks if the user wants to turn

which is what I'm trying to accomplish. Thank you for the response,
I'm just do not think it will do what I need it to.

[android-beginners] Re: How to connect to a robot.
I have an Android app in development that uses Bluetooth to control this robotic camera mount: http://www.thegadgetworks.com/.

[android-beginners] Re: How to connect to a robot.
I do not believe that is possible. A Bluetooth device can only be connected to one Bluetooth device at a time to the best of my knowledge.

[android-beginners] Re: Serial Data Transfer via Bluetooth
Then we are out of my comfort zone. You might check this site though, http://www.amarino-toolkit.net/documentation.html. According to Bonifaz Kaufmann, the developer of Amarino, they are communicating via Bluetooth SPP with the following devices, all pre 2.0. * HTC Dream (aka T-Mobile G1, firmware 1.1, 1.5 and 1.6) * HTC Magic (firmware 1.5 and 1.6) * HTC Tattoo (firmware 1.6) * Huawei U8220 (aka T-Mobile Pulse, firmware 1.5) * (partially tested) Samsung Galaxy (firmware 1.5) You can find the entire source code of Amarino here: http://code.google.com/p/amarino/ and it includes all the Bluetooth related stuff as well. Good luck. On Mar 17, 12:05 pm, BobG bobgard...@aol.com wrote: Hi Don. I think you need 2.0 or higher to run the bluetooth chat example.. wish it wasnt so... I have a dev phone 2 (Google Ion?

[android-beginners] Re: Serial Data Transfer via Bluetooth
Look at the Bluetooth Chat example and change the UUID to 1101--1000-8000-00805F9B34FB. That should get you going.

This device will be able to send serial data over bluetooth and all I wan't to do is read and store the data. I'm pretty sure this is possible but I'm still not great at writing code for an android device yet. After that I want to take that data and put it into a human-readable way for instance for temperature have (Temperature= 70F). The value of 70 will come from the serial ascii string of bytes and I'll probably be able to work with the data after I get it and save it. So can anyone give me a little bit of code on how to read and store the ascii string or give me a good example to look at? Also the string is 46 bytes and starts with a # sign and ends with a $ sign and I'd like to use that to make sure I just get one string of data. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

[android-beginners] Re: he application Settings(process com.android.settintgs) has stopped unexpectedly.
As you point out, there IS no support for Bluetooth in the emulator, so there is nothing to enable. If you decide to write your own emulator and include Bluetooth support, please let us know as there are many others who would like it also.
