How to prevent Android bluetooth RFCOMM connection from dying immediately after .connect()?
This problem has been solved! Thanks a lot to Brad, Denis and junkie! You're the heroes! :)
This is the working code. It connects to Zeemote and reads data from it.
===== Code =====
public class ZeeTest extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
try {
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
test();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private boolean connected = false;
private BluetoothSocket sock;
private InputStream in;
public void test() throws Exception {
if (connected) {
return;
}
BluetoothDevice zee = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().
getRemoteDevice("00:1C:4D:02:A6:55");
Method m = zee.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket",
new Class[] { int.class });
sock = (BluetoothSocket)m.invoke(zee, Integer.valueOf(1));
Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Connecting");
sock.connect();
Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Connected");
in = sock.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[50];
int read = 0;
Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Listening...");
try {
while (true) {
read = in.read(buffer);
connected = true;
StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < read; i++) {
int b = buffer[i] & 0xff;
if (b < 0x10) {
buf.append("0");
}
buf.append(Integer.toHexString(b)).append(" ");
}
Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Read "+ read +" bytes: "+ buf.toString());
}
} catch (IOException e) {}
Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Done: test()");
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
try {
if (in != null) {
in.close();
}
if (sock != null) {
sock.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

super.onDestroy();
}
}
===== Original question =====
I'm trying to connect to a Zeemote (http://zeemote.com/) gaming controller from Moto Droid running 2.0.1 firmware. The test application below does connect to the device (LED flashes) but connection is dropped immediately after that.
I'm pasting two test apps below: one that actually tries to read from input stream and second one that just sits there, waiting for the device to disconnect after 5 seconds. And yes, I do have third version :) which first waits for ACL_CONNECTED and then opens socket but there's nothing new in its behaviour.
Some background info: I can connect to the Zeemote from my laptop perfectly fine using bluez tools (log attached as well). I know for sure that Droid is able to talk to Zeemote as well because 'Game Pro' from the Market works fine with it (but then it's a driver/service so maybe it uses lower-level API?).
I noticed that 'adb bugreport' reports neither UUID nor RFCOMM channel for Zeemote while it does so for all other devices (including Moto HS815 headset, another dumb device for which 'sdp browse' reports nothing). Also, when the device boots, Zeemote's priority is 0 (others have priority 100+).
I'm quite at a loss here, I worked on it for so long that I ran out of ideas so any help would be very much appreciated (even if you don't know the answer :) )
Thanks, Max

This app tries to actually read from the device.

This test connects and waits -- useful for displaying the auto-disconnect issue.

Answer
Try to change your code for creating RfcommSocket:
sock = zee.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(
UUID.fromString("8e1f0cf7-508f-4875-b62c-fbb67fd34812"));
for this code:
Method m = zee.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket", new Class[] { int.class });
sock = (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(device, 1);
Also try to change argument value in range 1-3 in this m.invoke(device, 1); When connection will be Connected, but aborted when you try reading, call in some loop your method test() again. As simple:
for(int i=0;i<3;i++){ if(!testDone) test(); }
