Connecting to PC from mobile using bluetooth in java-Question

Question subject: Connecting to PC from mobile using bluetooth in javaPosted: Fri Jul 25, 2008 6:43 pm

I will talk about how to make data transfer from your mobile to your PC .The mobile side will be a j2me application.The server side is J2se application .To make such communication using bluetooth you need to open a virtual COM in your pc and assign this virtual COM to your paired mobile .Paired devices means an same PIN Code entered in both sides (mobile and PC ) .In my case i worked on bluecove external adapter .There is an application for bluecove device that allow me to assign COMs to a specific mobile.In my system i was sending images from my phone to PC server using bluetooth.

In server side : You will need some packages to make the work done .in my case i used two packages bluecove-2.0.2.jar and avetanaObex.jar . Here is code from it java code ?123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899100101102103104105106107108109110111112113114115116117118119120121122123124125126127128129130131132133134135136137138139140141142143144145146147148149150151152153154155156157158159160161162163164165166167168169170171172173174175176177178179180181182183184185186187188189190191192193194195196197198199200201202203204205206207208209210211212213214215216217218219220221222223224225226227228229230231232233234235236237238239240241242243244245246247248249250251252253254255256257258259260package sift;import java.awt.Image;import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;import java.io.File;import java.io.FileNotFoundException;import java.io.FileOutputStream;import java.io.IOException;import java.io.InputStream;import java.io.OutputStream;import java.util.logging.Level;import java.util.logging.Logger;import javax.bluetooth.DiscoveryAgent;import javax.bluetooth.LocalDevice;import javax.bluetooth.UUID;import javax.microedition.io.Connector;import javax.microedition.io.StreamConnection;import javax.microedition.io.StreamConnectionNotifier;import javax.swing.ImageIcon;/*** A class that demonstrates Bluetooth communication between server mode PC and* client mode device through serial port profile.* * @see sourceforge.net/projects/bluecove : BlueCove - JSR-82* implementation*/public class PCServerCOMM {/*-* ================* Bluetooth Server* ================* * This example application is a straighforward implementation of * a bluetooth server.* * * Usage* =====* * Start the program.

About the mobile side you can make a midlet and install it on your mobile .Here is some codes :

The mobile will start searching for the neighbor bluetooth turned on devices after that you will choose your PC .

Hi msi_333, your Post is great! Very useful

But I cannot understand some things ...

I.E. :

What is the meaning of MOBILEOR_GUI ?Quote:MOBILEOR_GUI frame;

And what about this?Quote:new FrameImage(aa, 1);SIFT sift = new SIFT(path, "scale2.jpg", "welcome");

I don't know where are these Classes (MOBILEOR_GUI, FrameImage, SIFT)

Sorry for my poor English

If you can send me the complete code of the Server I'll be grateful (eliasturbay@gmail.com)

Thanks in advance

Hi ,thank you for your reply these lines of codes not related to the connection of bluetooth , it is related to my project function , for example , SIFT is an object recognition algorithm .

hi msi_333 ,

Nice post !I am facing an small problem with a similar code for just text transfer , I have a bluesoliel stack and bluecove library .when i run the application the device gets discovered fromthe client and stack gets initialized and the window pops up asking for permission to open up virtual com ports but the application still ends in a loop waiting for connection , when i use hyperterminal instead of the app i get read n write back in the client .

init:deps-jar:compile:BlueCove version 2.0.2 on bluesoleilCreate server by uri: btspp://localhost:000011010000100080000 ... ServerCOMMWaiting for connection...

wat could be the problem please help me out!
