Android Question Bluetooth PAN question

[brampie66]

Hi,

I would like to develop an app that can serve http requests.
Ideally any phone/ipad would connect with bleutooth to the smartphone running the app so it can connect to the webservice (and the data on the phone via that webservice).

Can I (with basic4android) make something that servers a a bluetooth hotspot (ideally this PAN serving funtionality is within the app and not via thethering) ?
I can't use SPP because I would like it if the client could be an ipad (they don't have SPP), I need some form of network/http over bluetooth.

Can someone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks

It is not possible to implement such a server in Android.

If the devices are connected to the same local network then you can use HttpServer library to implement a http server.

(most) Bluetooth devices work on a 1 to 1 connection, which means that only one Bluetooth devices would be connected to your server device at any given moment
