Android :: Handling Files Received By Bluetooth Correctly

Aug 31, 2010

I have an Android application which handles a particular type of file. It registers intent filters for both the MIME type and the filename pattern. This all works fine from file managers; I select a file, I get prompted with a list of actions applicable to the file, my application is on the list, I select it and it works.

However, this doesn't work when I beam a file to the device via Bluetooth. The file gets received and is correctly downloaded, but selecting the file from the transfer page does nothing (although I can still use a file manager to find the downloaded file in /sdcard/downloads/bluetooth and run it from there).

The log contains:

CODE:.......

(The name of the file here is foo.app.)

It looks like it's deciding that the file has no MIME type and is giving up, rather than broadcasting an intent asking for a filename-based match.

This is on Froyo on an HTC Desire, and I know that HTC have been tinkering with the Bluetooth stack (as stock Android doesn't allow arbitrary files to be beamed to the device). Does anyone know how I can make this work? Beaming .jpg and .png files works fine...

Android :: Is Progress Bar Correctly Handling Padding-values

Mar 4, 2009

Here is a skeleton of the class I'm currently working on. Unfortunatly, i'm stuck on two problems and it's driving me mad !

The first problem is about the onKeyDown(KeyEvent) : I don't understand why this method isn't called while I pressed a key on the emulator. The second problem deals with padding. Indeed, I'm always creating widget using fake paddings in order to be sure my widget correctly handle those values. Unfortunatly, I tried to extend a ProgressBar and I had some problems because my ProgressBar is clipped.

My code is :

package com.niji.android.myhouse;
import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.Color; import android.graphics.Paint; import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.util.Log; import android.view.KeyEvent; import android.view.MotionEvent; import android.widget.ProgressBar; Code...

HTC EVO 4G :: MMS Received Time Stamp 4 Hours In The Past SMS Correctly?

Sep 22, 2010

I am getting MMS (Pictures) from another Sprint user (both of us are on the east coast) who has a Touch Pro 2 running Windows 6.5 and every time I get an MMS message from him its back stamped 4 hours. So if he sends it at 8pm it gets time stamped at 4pm on my phone. When he sends me an SMS (text message) its is CORRECTLY time stamped at 8pm. This causes my threaded messaging to put his MMS all the way up in the thread. This is UNACCEPTABLE and either SPRINT or HTC should figure out what is going on with time stamps and there phone and software.

Android :: Any Application For Handling Large PDF Files?

Jul 20, 2010

I am looking for an application that can handle large PDF files smoothly. I have tried adobe reader, pdf viewer and RepliGo. They were not very impressive, therefore I have come here for suggestions. Repligo reader I think was better out of the three but I couldn't view a PDF file that had scanned images on it. Was hoping someone could recommend an app that could handle large PDFs and PDFs that contained scanned images.

In light of some issues a few of us are experiencing with bluetooth failing to connect correctly and draining our storage space, I was wondering what bluetooth devices always connect with the Hero and which ones fail sometimes? I will start with mine. I have the Jabra SP700 speakerphone. It only connects 80% of the time.

Parse Binary Data Received Through Bluetooth

Sep 22, 2011

I have an application that receives data in binary form through bluetooth. I read the data using bluetoothsocket to an byte[]. But i must parse all messages, because they must have an given format and they are in binary.

My solution was to convert byte[] to a string and then split the string and parse all received messages.

An example of the data to parse:
0000000010000001

I should know that the first 8 zeros are the header and 10000001 the real data.

My idea was to create a string that represents -> 0000000010000001 and then split the whole string in one byte and check the value, like:

string1 had 00000000
string2 had 10000001

I know that 8 zeros are the header, therefore string2 has the representation of the data.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Calls Can Be Made And Received But Then The Bluetooth Drops

Sep 24, 2010

I've only had my phone a couple of weeks and pleased with it now that I have installed many of the recommended free apps.

I have one problem though with the bluetooth. When I connect to my car bluetooth, everything is fine for 8 minnutes - calls can be made and received but then the bluetooth drops. As this happens when I am driving the easiest way to reconnect is by pressing the connect button in my car (ie not on the handset). It re-connects straight away and then works perfectly for the rest of the journey. This happens everytime I am in the car !

I'm fairly sure the problem is with the phone as my Nokia5800 did not have this issue.

Android :: Transfer Files Via Bluetooth

May 10, 2010

I was playing around with my old LG Versa today. My son is using it for a camera. He's 7. I went to the bluetooth menu on the phone, put the device in discovery mode, and transferred a picture to the Versa from my Incredible. I thought shit, I wonder if I can transfer music this way. When I open up ES File Explorer, it has the option for bluetooth, but I cannot access the Versa from there. Does the Versa need a memory card to access from file explorer. It tells me invalid path or something.

Just found share option in stock music player. I use "3" instead for the album art, but the stock has bluetooth share. Now I gotta see if it works.

HTC 4G :: Can't Get Evo To Transfer Files Over Bluetooth To A Mac

Jun 5, 2010

I've checked the option on the phone for the FTP folder. I have made the phone discoverable, and then been able to see it on the Mac. I go through the whole thing on the Mac, enter the codes on the screen, etc. but it then gives me a warning on the Mac that my phone doesn't have any bluetooth profiles, and then simply says that the devices are paired, but not connected.I heard the Hero had all sorts of problems connecting with a Mac to transfer files, but one would think this new Evo would work, given the FTP folder option. Anybody have any ideas? Have you tried it on a Mac, and been able to get it to work?

HTC Legend :: Unable To Send Files Via Bluetooth

Aug 10, 2010

I cannot get files to transfer via bluetooth, either to another phone or to my car kit (ie/ contact lists, v cards). when i called for help i was told 1 - check with your network provider. (uhm, bluetooth doesn't utilize the network...) 2- the upgrade to 2.1 has caused many of the products to be unable to sync to other devices (well, the speaker works, i just can't transfer files. oh, that is odd - not a helpful reply) and 3 - try a factory reset. (how about, no. every time i've tried that nothing is fixed and i'm back to square one and having to reload all of my programs and data).it's been determined that my settings are correct. has anyone else found this issue and been able to overcome it?

HTC 4G :: Want To Send Files From My EVO To Computer Via Astro Bluetooth

Oct 12, 2010

okay so here is my problem. My evo wont do anything once paired to my computer via bluetooth. i paired it successfully, then later i wanted to send a file from my phone to my computer via bluetooth, (i have ftp enabled) and told my computer to expect a file and nothing. it doesn't work. also when i check the pairing profile on my computer, under services it is COMPLETELY blank, there should be some services like dial-up modem and bluetooth speakers and stuff shouldn't there be?

here is what i want to be able to do.

1. i want to send files from my EVO to my computer via Astro Bluetooth.

2. i would also like to use my laptop speakers via bluetooth, example, play Pandora on my phone using my laptop speakers via bluetooth connection

that is really all i want to do but i cant get ANYTHING working. could this be solved by rooting my evo? i really just wanna be able to do basic bluetooth functions with my phone.

General :: Unable To Transfer Files To Phone From PC Via Bluetooth

Jan 20, 2014

I bought a bluetooth dongle on Amazon (ORICO BTA 403, CSR8510 A10 chipset) and installed it on my Windows 7 x64 computer.

The dongle installs fine and works perfectly with all my older phones but not with my Xperia S running Android 4.1.2.

Basically, if I install the automatic windows driver, and pair with the phone, windows complains about no drivers for the device, and I can't do anything with it.

If I install the supplied software (CSR Harmony wireless software stack) I can pair and the Xperia S is installed properly, the various audio services work (I can stream music to PC using BT), but I still can't send or receive files, either from PC to Phone or from Phone to PC.

The connection times out after a second and gives me a connectivity error. It's like the phone refuses to connect to the PC, both when transferring and receiving.

I don't know if the phone is the problem, it seems to not work only when doing file transfers with PC, if I try to transfer files to other phones or to my mac (which has built in BT) it works fine.

Any way to troubleshoot this issue to tell if the problem comes from the phone or the dongle? By the way, using Airdroid instead of BT is not a fix.

HTC Incredible :: Send Files Bluetooth The Laptop - Connection Failed

May 6, 2010

Is there any way to have the directions come through my audio speakers in my Equinox? I have the phone synced up properly, and calls work great. I was navigating the other day, and a call came in and I answered with the handsfree system in the car. When directions came up, it cut in the call, and announced the directions over the speakers. Is there any way to directly do this for navigation only?

Another quick question. I have my phone set up with my Mac Book Pro. I can send files with bluetooth to the laptop, but when I go to browse the phone from the computer, it says connection failed. I do have ftp turned on on the phone.
