  6. Tragically, I'm as of now creating immaculate Android ventures at the minute and hence the center of my work has moved to some degree. Be that as it may when I discover time, I will return to the Phonegap improvement, since it engages me a great deal. Anyhow your slip appears to be nothing to do with the Setup right.

  7. This works. Communication worked between my HTC G2(Android 2.3.4) and Galaxy S3(4.3), through Secure and Insecure connections. (I then tested with changes to the UUID's just because and it worked)

  9. i cant run the app in my Galaxy S4 (Android 4.3).. when i tried, it shows a black screen, then popped out "Unfortunately, Bluetooth Chat has stopped" message. I tested on another phone with Xperia Neo Android 2.3.4, and it works.
    Anyone knows why..?

  11. Remove the following lines in order to avoid crashing on android v3.0 +:

    private TextView mTitle; - remove this text view and where ever you find errors, comment out those lines.
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE); - not required
    getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title); - not required

    You can create your own header view and put text views as child in them. This header acts as a top view in BluetoothChat main activity xml file. and provide the id's as title_left_text and title_right_text(whatever the id's are in the main xml file)

  12. If you're going to a developer game you might wonder how they differ from other kind of programmer pastimes like Hackathons, Programming competitions, just having a beer, talking and so on.

    My definition (and as far I can tell I was the one calling these things 'developer games' in the first place) is this;

    A developer game is a combination of a programming competition and a computer game, where the challenges focus on the practical and fun rather than on algorithmic obscurity.

    There are some algorithmic challenges from time to time, sure, and they can be quite tricky too. But the core concept is to have a welcoming, inclusive, little bit crazy event which you can attend to have fun and maybe win some prizes, but it's totally up to you and your team.

  14. This application allows two Android devices to carry out two-way text chat over Bluetooth. It demonstrates all the fundamental Bluetooth API capabilites, such as:

    Scanning for other Bluetooth devices
    Querying the local Bluetooth adapter for paired Bluetooth devices
    Establishing RFCOMM channels/sockets
    Connecting to a remote device
    Transfering data over Bluetooth

    ReplyDelete
  15. The Android platform includes support for the Bluetooth network stack, which allows a device to wirelessly exchange data with other Bluetooth devices. The application framework provides access to the Bluetooth functionality through the Android Bluetooth APIs. These APIs let applications wirelessly connect to other Bluetooth devices, enabling point-to-point and multipoint wireless features.

  16. Wow, that's a lot of code.
    Have you tried looking at the code samples at QuickBlox SDK? They seem to be a simplier solution, yet having all the required functions.
    I'd be glad to hear your opinion.

  17. Inline functions
    Ability to declare variables anywhere, instead of only after another declaration or at the start of a compound statement
    New data types like long long int, optional extended integer types, explicit boolean data type and complex type to denote complex numbers
    Array lengths can be variable
    One-line comments beginning with // supported
    Library functions like snprintf
    New header files, such as stdbool.h and inttypes.h
    Type-generic math functions (tgmath.h)
    Improved support for IEEE floating point
    Designated initializers
    Compound literals
    Support for variadic macros (macros of variable arity)

  18. Can you please give me the code for WiFi chat.... I mean a device will connect to the wifi hotspot on another device and in that way there can be a chat between 2 devices.... bibhuduttadash.sbp@gmail.com
