I want to develop an application for input device(bluetooth). I would like to use HID profile or SPP. But Android SDK support only A2DP and AVCRP profile. I'll have to wait until the next version is released. I have one question. I think A2DP, AVCRP profile use SPP. is correct? If so, we can use SPP instead of A~~ profiles? I don't know bluetooth api.

I wanted to try and connect to an bluetooth device using the HID profile using an android phone. The phone I'll be using is the vibrant and according to samsung it doesn't support the HID Profile ( http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=281257 ).
Now my question is this, where does this "profile" reside? Is it on the hardware level or on the software level ( I assume the latter from other sources that I have read ). And if it is the latter, can HID implementation be created using RFCOMM communication over bluetooth (this is the only seemingly viable method I can see in the android bluetooth API).
I just want to make sure I understand the technology before I try and implement something that may not be possible.
I am completely new to bluetooth app development. what exactly is a bluetooth profile? is it a hardware specification for the device? can an android mobile phone with bluetooth act as sender and receiver in A2DP profile?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI realize that the Blue tooth API is subject to change over time and that the only available profiles are A2DP and AVCRP, but I am really interested about the options I have to develop an application using the Serial Port Profile. I don't really care if the API will later change, this application is meant to be used only by me (I am trying to communicate to a mirocontroller using Blue tooth and the only supported profiles are SPP and GAP). I am going through the /core/java/android/blue tooth/ classes at the moment but I don't see anything that refers to the SPP or otherwise. I am willing to invest time to learn and write a SPP implementation, provided I have someone to guide me. This is valuable to me because I am doing this project as a final year project so I'm not exactly waiting for someone else to do my work. In conclusion, does anyone have any suggestions on where I could start looking and studying to be able to use the SPP in an application?
View 19 Replies View RelatedThe roadmap for cupcake states that it now supports the Bluetooth A2DP & AVRCP profiles. Since the Bluetooth API was ripped out of 1.0 does that mean that these are the only profiles supported? Or are there any other profiles currently supported?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use Bluetooth SPP to communicate over it. In some Android phones, SPP profile is not activated. I faced the problem in the application that SPP was not activated and so the connection could not be established over bluetooth and when I started another app that is 3g hotspot which I think activates SPP and I was able to connect over bluetooth in my app.
So, how can we actually activate SPP profile of bluetooth in Android devices? And does all the android devices has SPP profile?
I read somewhere that the Nexus One supported the SPP profile but now this page seems to contradict that : http://www.google.com/support/android/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&gui....
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if the DI has/uses the A2DP Bluetooth profile? I'm looking for a good Bluetooth stereo earbud set and most say they use A2DP. I checked all the literature on the DI that I could find and don't see A2DP listed anywhere. I searched the forums and found some info regarding the Hero and Motorola Droid, but nothing on the DI. I did read where the Hero with Sense UI had some issues with 3rd party apps and A2DP, but that the native Sense UI music app worked fine. Can someone enlighten me on A2DP and the DI please?
View 2 Replies View RelatedA friend wanted to know if he could use his android tablet as a headset, and after some searching it looks like quite a few people would like this.
So I was sondering if this is possible, I am new to Android development and I have been playing around with the Bluetooth samples and cannot seem to figure out how to make other devices see Android as a headset.
So my main question is- Is it possible to make a app that would disguise an android device as a headset so it could receive calls and maybe even dial number?
I would like to clarify if this is even possible with the Android SDK
The main use if i make this app is for people who can't afford the data plan that is required when buying a smartphone from a carrier. So if this person has a small android MID they can pair it with their dumb phone and essentially use their MID as a phone.
Is there any way that I can disable the A2DP Bluetooth profile on my Hero please? I do not want it to be used for one particular connection, my Bury car kit, but do not mind if it is off all the time. I used to be able to do this in WM with a little app called BTMusic - does anybody know of an equivalent in Android please? I have searched the market without success.
I know I can long press on the connection and tell it not to stream media, which switches off A2DP, but I can't make that stick. Next time they pair it is back on again and I then have to go in and manually switch it off again. A pain when all I want to do is get my sat nav speaking to me when I sit in the car!
I use MAP to see texts on my Toyota Camry. It's supposed to be able to read email as well. However, there are times where the MAP settings aren't saving and the look actually changes. In one instance I get this:
With this screen the settings won't save and messages can't be read. If I reset the phone, however, and go back to the MAP settings it will sometimes change to this:
With the setting screen like this, the car can access text messages but not emails. HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Is there a way to set different bluetooth, screen timeout, and profile settings for each scene on the Evo? I use Pandora and the music player in the car. The problem is my bluetooth headset is set to play media audio so I have to change that every time I get in and out of the car. And I don't want the display shutting off either, so I have to change that every time I get in and out of the car. While I'm at it, is there a way to set a different profile (vibrate, normal, silent) on different Scenes? That's another thing that I find myself manually changing more often than I would like. I'm thinking the "Scenes" feature of Sense would be ideal for this. Just set up the apps you want, the profile settings, display settings, etc, and save that Scene. But I can't make it save any settings other than the wallpaper and widgets/shortuts.Does anyone know how I could go about this? Even is it's not possible in Sense, is there another way to do it?

The only way that came to my mind uses a PhoneStateListener in a background services that waits for the CALL_STATE_IDLE event starting up the application again. But I am not quite sure if that is the correct/intended way of using the intent.

If not, when is this going to happen? It's been in J2ME for years! I saw some post about it being available via compiling the framework, what does this mean? Does this mean an app can be done that uses bluetooth or is this just for developemt only? I am only just starting to look at Android, so totally new to this. However, if I can't do bluetooth SPP connections then it's no use to me for what I want, so I'll not bother for now.

Its not very hands free if I have to pull my phone out my pocket to dial the number first to be able to use the headset.

I am looking for a way to initiate the audio connection between the Android phone and my headset within my application. The idea is to simplify the connection process in such a way that the user doesn't have to go through the different settings menus anymore (Apps -> Settings -> Wireless & Networs -> Bluetooth settings).
Both devices are supposed to be already paired and the Bluetooth address of the headset to be known.
As far as I learned, the Bluetooth capabilities (available since version 2.0 of the Android SDK) are restricted to Bluetooth discovery and the connection of RFComm channels (host/client) between the Android phone and a Bluetooth device. Is there another way to request Bluetooth profiles on the Android system to initiate a connection to a known device from an app or is this impossible?
Most of the time I write code for embedded modules or small programs on my computer to analyze data that said code generates.Now I've been asked to prototype a mobile application to analyze/display that data instead.I have no (6-year old CS101) experience with either of the popular languages (Obj-C/Java?), let alone with any of the APIs/libraries available on the 4-5 popular mobile OSs, so I'm more or less at square one.Adapting the embedded hardware to talk to a phone is fairly straightforward, just add a Bluetooth module that I can configure to emulate a serial port (using SPP profile), but I don't know where to start on the other side.What sort of mobile OS/device should I target for ease/speed of developing a Bluetooth serial port profile (SPP) application from having equal (no) experience on them all?
