Welcome to Stackoverflow! Your question is a little bit broad. As I maintain a bluetooth OBD Android application, I'll give you some directions.

Start with the Bluetooth Chat sample application to learn the basics of communicating with a bluetooth serial device. Then study the ELM327 Programmers Guide to learn the specifics of the protocol. Checkout existing projects for ideas.
