Android Question BT autopair error

[valekuatro]

Hi!
I have taken an example of other thread on how to handle an autopaired BT connection. It works sometimes and sometimes doesn't. Sometimes it connects and it does not transmit, sometimes it does not connect and sometimes it connects and transmits correctly. I am using an arduino module hc06 which I tried with a program downloaded from the playstore and it works correctly (turn on and off a led) So I have no choice but to think that it is due to a problem on the side of my program. The irregularity of the errors gives me to think that it is due to synchronization problems but I am not an expert in the subject and for that reason I request the help of some of the experts. I would like to clarify that it is important for me to work in an autopaired way in the development approach. The code I put here corresponds to a modified example from

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/btautopair-programmatic-bluetooth-device-bonding.25675/#content

It uses:
BtAutoPair, BluetoothAdmin, BtSerial and Broadcast libraries
Tested on api 14 and above with same result

Any help would be appreciated

Please try this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/hc-05-classic-bluetooth.66677/#content

I've already tried that example. It remains searching devices without sucess. Anyway this approach require user intervention. I would like to autoconnect and transmit. I've done this with the code i posted, but works just sometimes. I tested introducing a sleep(10000) and btserial.disconnect, it worked few times, randomly.
Most of the time it gives closed socket error. It´s possible to review this code instead of another approach?

Reviewing the complete code and finding out why it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't can be difficult.

The example code only requires user intervention once when the devices are paired. If this is critical for you then add the pairing code to that example.
It is better than the code you posted as all the communication is managed in a service.

Thanks i'll take a look. However with "my" (not all really mine) code I made it work correctly by separating the steps into button events. Connect, disconnect, switch on and off. What confuses me is that joining that same code works 1 out of 10 times.
