Hi,
as said above I need of a name-string that dependent on the device. I want to send data-files from my app to other devices, using the same name for all devices sending a files (even with a time-code) would result in loosing the information who did send it.
I read that it isn't possible to get the device name (the one that is used for WiFi- or BlueTooth-Connections). Does anybody have an idea for such a situation?
As of now I use:
B4X:
mPhone.Manufacturer & "_" & mPhone.model & "_" & mPhone.Product &
However this "solution" does [edit]NOT[/edit] "look" that good.

Ideas?

B4X:
Dim mySerial As Serial
mySerial.Initialize("mySerial")
Log(mySerial.name)

needs the Serial Lib

Where have I read that is impossible(or not possible anymore) to get the device-name, I must have misunderstood that one.
This one works, at least for me. THANK YOU

My sole problem using b4a, how to know which functions are "hidden" in wich lib!

I search with google in the b4a forum, it brings more precise results then the forum search...like "getLocalBluetoothName b4a"

...may be I don't know the full capacity of the forum search function:confused:
