Hi all
I am trying to get my Bluetooth MAC Address of my device and i use this syntax:

Label2.Text = seriale.Address

but during compilation it gives me a lot of errors:

Error occurred on line: 39 (main)
java.lang.NullPointerException

Seriale is declared as Serial

Erel has posted a solution for this problem.. do some search ;)

B4X:
Dim bta As JavaObject
     bta = bta.InitializeStatic("android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter").RunMethod("getDefaultAdapter", Null)
     Log(bta.RunMethod("getAddress", Null))

Thanks Don for the tip.. thumps up

Sorry but I am a newbie here :-/

I used your code as follow:

B4X:
    Sub Globals
    Dim Label2 As Label
    Dim Label1 As Label
 
    Dim bta As JavaObject
    bta = bta.InitializeStatic("android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter").RunMethod("getDefaultAdapter", Null)
 
 
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Principale")
 
     Label2.Text = bta.RunMethod("getAddress", Null)

End Sub

I am trying to load my bluetooth MAC address into Label2 but i receive always these error codes:

Error occurred on line: 43 (main)
java.lang.RuntimeException: Object should first be initialized (JavaObject).

Can you upload your project?
I gave you Erel's solution but if I test your project then will apply the code.

You helped me to spot the problem! ...and today I learned a lot of things

1) The project runs correctly only on real mobile phone. It gives back a lot of errors (instead of simple warnings) if executed on the emulator
2) It is working also using only the Serial library (without the JavaObject library and the codes you suggested)

Thank you very much for your help Beja!!! :) :)
