There are two different instances of my program not being about to connect to a BluetoothServerSocket.
One of the instances has only 1 UUID generated randomly before it initiates scan mode with SCAN_MODE_CONNECTABLE_DISCOVERABLE and before using the same generated UUID to create a BluetoothServerSocket for listening. The other intance generates a random UUID just before a BluetoothDevice tries to connect with the UUID just generated.
Each of the instances cannot complete the Bluetooth connection. Throughout the entire program, I put many Logs just to try and see why it wouldn't be able to connect.
Below is the code for the first instance. (Generate 1 random UUID at the launch of the app.) If anyone likes to download my Eclipse project just to take a look, here's the link of the project from MediaFire. As for the second instance, uncommenting the C-style comments in the code below will reveal it.
I expected the results would be to have a successful connection between two devices. The successful connection connects a device to a listening socket, by using a generated UUID. The observed results show it is unlikely.
As far as I know, the only way to obtain a UUID is to obtain it from UUID.randomUUID(). If there are other ways, please post a comment below, and I'll check it. But for now, it's not the answer I wanted.
Thanks in advance.
