Send Data From Arduino to Android App via Bluetooth

Question

Hello i can send data from android to arduino but i cant send data from arduino to android via Bluetooth on procesing i dont get any Error but I cant see anything on display of android app.. i used for blueToothSerial.print(XXX); for arduino side .. and used text(readMessage , width,heigth); for processing side. Please check it out . Where is my fault ? . What am I missing ? Thanks in Advance

** on arduino side**

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Stepper.h>
#define RxD 6 // This is the pin that the Bluetooth (BT_TX) will transmit to the Arduino (RxD)
#define TxD 7 // This is the pin that the Bluetooth (BT_RX) will receive from the Arduino (TxD)
#define DEBUG_ENABLED 1
#define RELAY 4

SoftwareSerial blueToothSerial(RxD, TxD);  
int led = 9 ;
int in1Pin = 10;
int in2Pin = 12;
int in3Pin = 11;
int in4Pin = 13;
data = 100;
Stepper motor(512, in1Pin, in2Pin, in3Pin, in4Pin);  
/*----------------------SETUP----------------------------*/
void setup() { 



Serial.begin(9600);//low Serial communication via USB cable to computer (if required)
pinMode(RxD, INPUT); // Setup the Arduino to receive INPUT from the bluetooth shield on Digital Pin 6
pinMode(TxD, OUTPUT); // Setup the Arduino to send data (OUTPUT) to the bluetooth shield on Digital Pin 7
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Use onboard LED if required.
pinMode(9,OUTPUT);
 motor.setSpeed(30);
 pinMode(RELAY,OUTPUT);
setupBlueToothConnection(); //Used to initialise the Bluetooth shield


} 


/*----------------------LOOP----------------------------*/
void loop() { 
digitalWrite(13, LOW); //Turn off the onboard Arduino LED
char recvChar;
while (1) {
if (blueToothSerial.available()) {//check if there's any data sent from the remote bluetooth shield
recvChar = blueToothSerial.read();
Serial.print(recvChar); // Print the character received to the Serial Monitor (if required)

//If the character received = 'r' , then change the RGB led to display a RED colour
if (recvChar=='r') {
    motor.step(300);
    digitalWrite(led,HIGH);23


delay(500);

}

//If the character received = 'g' , then change the RGB led to display a GREEN colour
if (recvChar=='g') {
  digitalWrite(led,LOW);
  motor.step(-300);


}

//If the character received = 'b' , then change the RGB led to display a BLUE colour
if (recvChar=='b') {

digitalWrite(led,HIGH);
 digitalWrite(RELAY,HIGH);
}

//If the character received = 'x' , then turn RGB led OFF
if (recvChar=='x') {
digitalWrite(led,LOW);
 digitalWrite(RELAY,LOW);
}
}

//You can use the following code to deal with any information coming from the Computer (serial monitor)
if (Serial.available()) {
recvChar = Serial.read();

//This will send value obtained (recvChar) to the phone. The value will be displayed on the phone.
blueToothSerial.print(recvChar);
blueToothSerial.print("burak:");
blueToothSerial.print(data); // data which is defined begin of sketch

}
}
} 



//The following code is necessary to setup the bluetooth shield ------copy and paste----------------
void setupBlueToothConnection()
{
blueToothSerial.begin(9600);// BluetoothBee BaudRate to default baud rate 38400
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STWMOD=0\r\n"); //set the bluetooth work in slave mode
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STNA=HC-05\r\n"); //set the bluetooth name as "SeeedBTSlave"
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STOAUT=1\r\n"); // Permit Paired device to connect me
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+STAUTO=0\r\n"); // Auto-connection should be forbidden here
delay(2000); // This delay is required.
blueToothSerial.print("\r\n+INQ=1\r\n"); //make the slave bluetooth inquirable 
Serial.println("The slave bluetooth is inquirable!");
delay(2000); // This delay is required.
blueToothSerial.flush();
}

And i have processing sketch .

Answer 1

you forgot to declare the mode (int ) in data on line 14

    SoftwareSerial blueToothSerial(RxD, TxD);  
int led = 9 ;
int in1Pin = 10;
int in2Pin = 12;
int in3Pin = 11;
int in4Pin = 13;
int data = 100;
