How can one connect to an RFCOMM device other than another phone in Android?
- by Charles Duffy
The Android API provides examples of using listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord() to set up a socket and createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord() to connect to that socket.
I'm trying to connect to an embedded device with a BlueSMiRF Gold chip. My working Python code (using the PyBluez library), which I'd like to port to Android, is as follows:
sock = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(proto=bluetooth.RFCOMM)
sock.connect((device_addr, 1))
return sock.makefile()
...so the service to connect to is simply defined as channel 1, without any SDP lookup.
As the only documented mechanism I see in the Android API does SDP lookup of a UUID, I'm slightly at a loss.
