Android Question AsyncStreams Native Serial Comm port

[Stulish]

Hi i have been trying to get the Panel PC built in comm port working, with mixed success.
the NewData sub seems to keep firing with no new data and randomly receiving the old data back in the buffer??

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Private xui As XUI
    Dim Result As Int ' used for shell
    Dim Ph As Phone ' used for shell
    Dim Arh() As String ' used for shell
    Dim StdOut, StdErr As StringBuilder ' used for shell
End Sub
Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    Dim SerialPort As AsyncStreams
    Dim stream As String
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then
        stream = "/dev/ttyS1"
        Dim fo As OutputStream
        Dim fi As InputStream
        fo = File.OpenOutput("",stream, True) '********
        fi = File.OpenInput("",stream)
        SerialPort.Initialize(fi,fo,"astreams")
        StdOut.Initialize ' initialize string builder for StdOut
        StdErr.Initialize ' initialize string builder for StdErr
        Result = Ph.Shell("stty -F " & stream & " 4800 cs8 -cstopb -parenb",Arh, StdOut, StdErr) ' set 4800,N,8,1
        Log("Result " & Result)
    End If
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
End Sub
Sub astreams_NewData (Buffer() As Byte)
    Dim curTime As String = $"[$datetime{DateTime.Now}]"$
    Log("{" & curTime & "}" & BytesToString(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length, "UTF8"))

End Sub
Sub STESTn_Click
    Dim curTime As String = $"[$datetime{DateTime.Now}]"$
    File.WriteString(stream, "",curTime & " - serial comm test" & CRLF)
    Log("Test Sent")
End Sub
Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub
Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

i have attached the log, so you can see what is happening, does anyone have any thoughts, as you can see the program is very basic, with just one button on the layout 'STESTn'.

Thanks

First step is to switch to Phone.ShellAsync.

Thanks Erel, I found the issue and it was the cable that was supplier for the unit was wired incorrectly, but it is good to see the Phone/ShellAsync method.
