Android Question astream read?

[merlin2049er]

I've got this code I'm using to write data to my arduino - it works fine...
Everything else, connecting, initializing bt, works...

I'm using the same code to send streams now to another android device

Sub SendData(data As String) 'send data to your android device
    If data.Trim <> "" Then
        Log(data)
        AStream.Write(data.GetBytes("UTF8"))
    End If
End Sub

On the receiving side? Not clear on how to read this stream, and make use of it.

You should handle the AStream_NewData event.

Can you bring the buffer as a string or do u need to do it a byte at a time?

Is this possible...

sub Astream_NewData(buffer () as string)

do stuff here...

End sub

You cannot change the event signature. However it is very simple to convert an array of bytes to a string with BytesToString keyword.

I recommend you to go over AsyncStreams tutorial. You might want to use AsyncStreamsText class.
