Android Question Bluetooth Connections

[Harris]

Is it possible to have more than one BT device connected at any given time (using Android tablet)?
For example, my tablet has an active BT connection to an ECM data bus (getting engine data every second).
I would also like to connect to an Iridium transceiver, at the same time to send / receive data.

Thanks

It should work.
Use two Serial + AsyncStreams.

That sounds quite challenging as compared to what I currently contend with using one device connection.
May leaving the current alone and use one serial + Async to get the other possibly work?
Thanks

Why? Put one in its own class. It is not more complicated than using a single one.

I have worked with up to 3 connections at a time..All live with data in both directions and no problems..
I could never get 4 connections to work..
One always falls out..

Just my experience

May you have some basic sample code to help me get started?

It is part of my program..so i had to cut out the Bluetooth part..It should get You on Your way in how I do it..
Remember to create this in the starter service.. Hope it helps...

Just to add to the subject..

I have found that the limitation of the amount of Bluetooth channels that can be open at a time is limited on some phones and tablets..

I don't think the limitation is in B4A ..

On some models I could open more channels and some less..
