bluetooth serial service?

[techknight]

i posted this in the wrong forum earlier but i cant delete it. Anyway... here it is in the right forum:

How do you put the bluetooth serial stuff in a service? I found the "oh my" thread that briefly gets into to it but its all over the place and i cant really follow it.

I tried copying the admin and serial1 over to the service, but it seems like the subroutines like Serial1_Connected never gets raised. any ideas? I cant draw dialogboxes or anything from the service as i expected.

i put the Dim serial1 as Serial in the service, but for some strange reason serial1_connected will fire only in Main. not the service?

any ideas?

I recommend you to make Serial1 a private variable and only access it from the service module.
You can use CallSubDelayed to interact between the service and the activity:

You can also find an example where AsyncStreams is moved to a service, but Serial1_Connected is still in the Main activity:

This example was done in B4A 1.9 without use of SubCallDelayed.
