Error while sending files through bluetooth in android?

Question

I followed up this question but all mention solution didn't work for me.

I am making an application similar to rainbow application. This application will be installed in the device which has to send all contacts to other device.The application is to be installed only in one device.I am able to connect to the remote device through this piece of code

// BluetoothConnector (Complete Code)

Class<?> clazz = tmp.getRemoteDevice().getClass();
                Class<?>[] paramTypes = new Class<?>[] {Integer.TYPE};
                Method m = clazz.getMethod("createRfcommSocket", paramTypes);
                Object[] params = new Object[] {Integer.valueOf(1)};
                fallbackSocket = (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(tmp.getRemoteDevice(), params);

after pairing request is made and connection is done,I try to send data by outputstream to other device through this piece of code.

//Output-stream Code (Complete code)

public void write(byte[] buffer) {
            try {
                Log.i(TAG, "write");
                mmOutStream.write(buffer);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Exception during write", e);
            }

but I am not able to send data as soon as mmOutStream.write(buffer); is called it gives following error.

Kindly tell me what I am doing wrong in above code. Is it possible to transfer files over Bluetooth without implementing server side code?

From your Logs, it appears that ConnectThread runs again while your Connected thread is running. Refer to logs :

    09-21 16:21:47.329    6262-6822/com.example.gauravdubey.myapplication I/BT_app﹕ BEGIN mConnectedThread

    after a while
    09-21 16:21:47.359    6262-6262/com.example.gauravdubey.myapplication D/BT_app﹕ ConnectThread

BT_app﹕ ConnectThread---->run()

It appears your single thread ConnectThread is getting invoked multiple times. Try checking your code such that thread runs only for one time. Hope that will work.
