I made an app which connects to bluetooth and sends and receive data in an activity. Now I have updates in the app and has to create another activities which connects to the same bluetooth device and transfer data. So I am planning to connect to bluetooth device in my second activity which has some buttons which calls for another activities. I need to retain the bluetooth connection I made in the second activity throughout the activities that are called from the second activity using buttons till the user press back button from second activity (exiting second activity). Please explain how I should change my code to make this happen. This is my current code which is used for single activity bluetooth connection.
