hello,

can someone tell me what "it.gerdavax.easybluetooth" is?...a different
implementation of the official "android.bluetooth." ?
why was it used for Amarino? how do i get this library as it doesnt
seem to be in the Android SDK ?

thanks in advance,
Adrian

Well, it is a library offering Bluetooth support for 1.x and 2.x devices,
allowing Amarino to be compatible to Android 1.x devices, because the
Bluetooth SDK was officially integrated into Android 2.0.

Bonifaz, thanks for the quick reply.

im using "android.bluetooth" libraries in a different project but
noticed a bug in my application (related to an intermittent
"connection refused" exception coming from a BT SPP slave when i
attempt to connect to it)

this problem does not happen when i use Amarino to connect to the same
SPP slave, where can i get this "it.gerdavax.easybluetooth" ? when i
import it to my project it says "The imports can not be resolved"


many thanks

The link to the library can be found within the About box of Amarino.
Hit the menu key and select About. There you will find the link to the
library.

seeing as its the unofficial API, are you sticking with it for Amarino
for the long term, any plans to switch to the official API?
Amarino work fine for me on honeycomb so looks like this unofficial
API is forward compatible so far

cheers

For Android 2.x devices this unofficial API uses the official API, so there
is no need to exchange it, it should be forward compatible.
Only for Android 1.x devices Java reflection is used to access hidden
functions in Android 1.x.
