Android Question Run Bluetooth from a service

[Cenny]

What is the advantage of running Bluetooth from a service?

The rule is: never implement Bluetooth / network communication in an activity. Activities are paused and destroyed.
If you are using B4XPages then you don't need a service.

Then Implementation via a class module, like in the tutorial is ok I presume?

 

[Erel]

Only if it has a service context as done in the old and deprecated example.

Hi Yimcy,
Use Background location tracking example as base for your project to make it working in background. If you don't need GPS then just don't load it.
Next time please create a separate forum thread for your question.

Short: Run all components in a service which aren't UI relevant. You can use it as a template for future projects, too. I move even "helper libs" like Stringutils, ByteConverter, Encryption etc. to a service. For another app I can copy it and delete what I don't need.

Good day all.
Please I want to implement Bluetooth communication via service module but I couldn't.
Because they text reader always clash my app.
Please what should I use?

1. You should never post in old threads.
2. You don't need a service. It will only make things more complicated.
3. Never use TextReader with network streams.
4. See the example: [B4XPages] Bluetooth Chat Example
