Yes.
Just use

B4X:

Try
    SocketMagic
Catch
    If LastException.Contains("java.io.IOException: Service discovery failed") Then
       ToastMessageShow("This app is awesome, but the user is stupid",False)
    End If
End Try

Yes but I've tried putting Try/Catches all over the place and haven't found the right place yet.

It's the same in Erel's Bluetooth Demo app.

If anyone wants to try setting up a Bluetooth serial port on their PC or Laptop then see this thread in my forum.

http://btinterface.com/BTInterface/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23

It's pretty easy, but if you don't connect the Terminal app up (link provided) then you get that error when you try to connect.

Wonder if we can do anything with the Reflection library?

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts on this?

I aim to get it fixed coz I know that anything's possible in B4a!!!

Bye the way, has anyone got themselves a nice well-paid job using B4a yet?

I think its merely a matter of time before B4a starts to get the same kudos as Visual BASIC don't you?

Can you identify what command is executed last before you get this exception?
Also does it cause the app to crash or the exception stays silently in the logs?
Is it the Listen or Listen2 command? It seems that the serial library should catch this exception.
If it is the ones of Connect methods, I think the lib still catches the exception but prints the stacktrace silenty (maybe that is what Amazon does not like).

You sometimes have to own up to your foolishness

With help from thedesolatesoul on the JonPMs Live b4achat website I figured out... ok 'he' figured out that the error message that I'm seing here is

a) written into Erel's Serial1_Connected subroutine :BangHead: Doh!

and the log 'Error Connecting: java.io.Exception: Service discovery failed
' message is

b) written into Erel's Serial1_Connected subroutine :BangHead: Doh!



In my defence I had hidden that routine away deep in the bowels plus I was thrown by that email from the Amazon testing guys which read:

An error message "BTInterfaceFreeTrialBETA Error Connecting: java.io.IOException: read Failed, Socket might closed read ret:-1" appears.


OS/Device(s)/Form Factor: 2.3.3/HTC Desire HD A9191/Phone.
4.2.1/Nexus 7/Tablet.
4.1/Samsung Galaxy Nexus/Phone.

but hands up, I deserve to be entered into the 'lumox of the month' contest

and

no-wonder Erel didn't answer my thread he's probably just rolling his eyes and saying to himself

'users'

:sign0104:

now.... no-one reply to this thread... just let it slip gently away into oblivion ....

and... take a look at the New error message

I guess that you pressed on the Make Discoverable button in the second device, right?

Hi,
We created POS system. It supports about 20 printers (Fiscal and ESC/POS). Generally it works, but some times Bluetooth connection crashes with message "java.io.IOException: Service discovery failed"

I was trying different reconnection, delays (idle for 1, 2 or 3 sec), closing and reopening the connection, but no success. Here is full source code, information is sent to first paired device. Please, assist how I can solve the problem. The printout crashes on line 94

Tested with 6 different printers, 3 devices, same result. Crash is about 1/20 of the printouts.

Have you tried to catch the error and retry to connect later?

Yes, if you see, there is question "Reconnect", after "Yes" it tries to reconnect. But! Sometimes it cannot reconnect after 3 reties (delay = 1 sec). To check it, comment line 95 and it will reconnect and reconnect and reconnect endlessly. Does not solve the problem.

Question, it is paired device, why we need "Discovery service" ?

Click to expand...

This is part of the steps required to establish a connection.

Bluetooth in Android is not perfect. You can try to disable and then enable the Bluetooth adapter to reset it. It can be done from your code (like in B4A-Bridge). It usually solves such issues.

OK, thanx!

The connection is established with Serail class?
Do I need to re-initialize BTAdmin?

What is the correct sequence to re-establish connection?
