Bluetooth not sending file to other device

Question

It is already asked but i didn't find any solution. For bluetooth application i am using the bluetoothShare.class .

My source code for sending the file to the target device

MainActvity.class:

Set<BluetoothDevice> devices = btAdapter
                            .getBondedDevices();
                    final String btDeviceName = selected_deviceName;
                    BluetoothDevice device = null;

                    for (BluetoothDevice itDevice : devices) {
                        if (btDeviceName.equals(itDevice.getName())) {
                            device = itDevice;
                        }
                    }

                    if (device != null) {

                        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
                        values.put(BluetoothShare.URI, uri.toString());
                        values.put(BluetoothShare.MIMETYPE, "image/jpeg");
                        values.put(BluetoothShare.DESTINATION,
                                device.getAddress());
                        values.put(BluetoothShare.DIRECTION,
                                BluetoothShare.DIRECTION_OUTBOUND);
                        Long ts = System.currentTimeMillis();
                        values.put(BluetoothShare.TIMESTAMP, ts);
                        final Uri contentUri = getApplicationContext()
                                .getContentResolver().insert(
                                        BluetoothShare.CONTENT_URI, values);
                        Log.v(TAG, "Insert contentUri: " + contentUri
                                + "  to device: " + device.getName());
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Success",
                                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    } else {
                        textStatus
                                .setText("Bluetooth remote device not found");
                    }
                } else {
                    textStatus.setText("Bluetooth not activated");
                }
            }

            else {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No devices found",
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }

Answer 1

BluetoothShare class not supported android 4.1 and above. you can use the following intent coding to send file in android version 4.1 and above

Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(
        "com.android.bluetooth",
        "com.android.bluetooth.opp.BluetoothOppLauncherActivity"));
    intent.setType("image/jpeg");
    file = new File(filepath);
    intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file));
    startActivity(intent);

and also some devices in Android v 2.2/2.3 not send the file via bluetoothShare class.

Answer 2

Maybe you can try another solution with BufferedWriter and BufferedReader.

Here is a snipped code:

            BluetoothDevice mmDevice;
            Set<BluetoothDevice> mBluetoothAdapter;

            BluetoothAdapter bAdapter = BluetoothAdapter
                    .getDefaultAdapter();
            mBluetoothAdapter = bAdapter.getBondedDevices();

            for (BluetoothDevice bc : mBluetoothAdapter) {
                if (bc.getName().indexOf("name_of_bluetoothdevide") != -1) {
                    UUID uuid = UUID
                            .fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB"); // Standard
                                                                                    // SerialPortService
                                                                                    // ID
                    mmDevice = bc;
                    BluetoothSocket mmSocket = mmDevice
                            .createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(uuid);
                    bAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
                    mmSocket.connect();
                    BufferedWriter Writer = new BufferedWriter(
                            new OutputStreamWriter(
                                    mmSocket.getOutputStream()));
                    Writer.write("Bluetooth connected!");
                    Writer.flush();

                    app.setmSocket(mmSocket);

                    break;
                }
            }

And for reading:

  BufferedReader Reader = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(mmSocket.getInputStream()));
            receivedMsg = Reader.readLine();

Hope it can help you.
