Unfortunately I don't have much knowledge of Bluetooth and am just a starter on B4A but I do have a lot of experience with VB6 and VB.net, hoping someone could point me in the right direction on this issue please.
I have two Bluetooth devices here and have tried to use the BLE Example app and Library to detect them and communicate.
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ble-2-bluetooth-low-energy.59937/#content
However not having much luck. Each device does have it's own Eclipse style demo program and they work fine.
NOTE: It may be I am using the wrong demo app and wrong library to achieve my objective as I have read that BLE and Bluetooth are somewhat different ??
What I am seeing here using the BLE demo on the phone is
BLE State: POWERED ON
The Scan & Connect button is active, and when I press that the Log file reports as follows (see below)
The Disconnect button is never active (per log file I guess)
Status is always Not Connected
Read Data button is never active.
So, it would seem the device connects for an instant then disconnects.
a) should I be using a different library and example app for communicating with a standard Bluetooth device ? It is a card reader by the way.
b) or is there an issue somewhere else I should be looking for
Would appreciate comments
thanks
