As written in #15 of this thread one(you) need to write a wrapper library for the Github project i found (or any other). The wrapper must be written with java.
As of now there is no such library (wrap) available.

Fair enough. Let's get this party started.

First thing is still to confirm which type of Bluetooth the OBD device is using. I thought I didn't have any Classic Bluetooth SPP devices, but then I remembered that the ELM327 OBD dongles are probably just serial ports, so after I found them and also the OBD port in the new (OBD-wise) car, I connected to it and then spoke with it using the Serial Bluetooth Terminal app. Unfortunately that app doesn't have XMODEM(-1K) so now I am searching for a terminal app that does both Bluetooth AND XModem.

In the meantime, if you want to try talking to your OBD device anyway, these are stages that I went through:

Settings, Bluetooth = list of available devices:

Pair with ELM327 OBDII dongle:

Paired, ready for use:

Start Serial Bluetooth Terminal app:

Choose serial port (here only one choice - the paired OBDII dongle):

Connected and looking good:

Type ATI (attention, identify) command:

and OBDII dongle responds with ELM327 and version:
