Bluetooth, BlueCove and Raspberry PI

I setup using Java using BlueJ and Bluetooth using Blueman on my RaspberryPI and am using the BlueCove API.
I took the example RemoteDeviceDiscovery from:
http://bluecove.org/bluecove/apidocs/overview-summary.html#DeviceDiscovery
When I run the example from within BlueJ I get:
"
wait for device inquiry to complete...
Device Inquiry completed!
0 device(s) found
"
and when I run from the terminal window using:
pi#raspberrypi ~/java/bluetooth_jar $ /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-arm-vfp-hflt/jre/bin/java -jar bluetooth_jar.jar
I get:
"
BlueCove version 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT on bluez
BluetoothStateException exception: javax.bluetooth.BluetoothStateException: Bluetooth Device is not ready. [1] Operation not permitted
BlueCove stack shutdown completed
"
Why the exception is not thrown when using BlueJ I don't understand but from the commandline it appears unable to detect nearby devices because the device is not ready. However, I don't understand this error message since I can send files using Blueman Manager to nearby a Android tablet and Win7 laptop.

Discovered that if I run the jar with superuser rights then it works as expected:
pi#raspberrypi ~ sudo /java/bluetooth_jar $ /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-arm-vfp-hflt/jre/bin/java -jar bluetooth_jar.jar
with output:
BlueCove version 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT on bluez
wait for device inquiry to complete...
Device C4850852975B found
name GMSEED-PC
Device Inquiry completed!
1 device(s) found
BlueCove stack shutdown completed
and if I start BlueJ as superuser from the commandline rather than through the desktop menu item Menu|Programming|BlueJ; ie:
pi#raspberrypi ~ $ sudo bluej
and then the example app gives the same output.

Multiple files transfer protocol with "authentication" from Android to Server

I'm a newbie programmer looking for a way to implement a simple file transfer protocol on Android.
Problem:
Several Android phones need to connect to a server to receive/send a series of XML files saved in internal storage. The server needs to know which phone is requesting a connection so that it can save the files in the correct folder.
Possible solution/algorithm:
There are various tutorials/examples on how to send a file to a server, but none of them seem to implement some kind of "authentication".
Ideally I would like to implement the following (I'll use a metaphor):
Phone: Hello.
Server: Hi. Who are you and what do you want? [send/receive]
Phone A: I'm phone A and I would like to send files.
Server: How many files do you want to send, Phone A?
Phone A: 6 files, [+extra data like total size or whatever]
Server: Alright, you can begin the transfer.
Phone A: Transfers...
Server: I've succesfully received 6 files, have a good day. [stores the files in a PhoneA folder]
Phone A: Bye! [closes connection]
I realise this could very likely be made a lot more efficient, but I don't know where to begin...
Is it even possible to initiate a connection with a server and interact multiple times while waiting for responses?
Question :
Could anyone push me in the right direction somehow? Do I write my own protocol or can this be done with standard functionality? What are the best/easiest existing protocols for this kind of implementation?
I've found this article interesting but I don't see how it could be used for multiple files with authentication
Any help would be much appreciated!

This is easier than you think using old-school FTP, which I've used with success in collecting data from apps, and your server will surely support it.
Get a unique ID for each Android device using enter link description here. You get a 64-bit number (as a hex string) that is randomly generated on each device’s first boot. It's supposedly constant for the life of the device.
Import Apache Commons FTP and use the method describe here to create a directory name inside your working directory on the server with a name matching the unique id.
Use the same library to upload the files using FTP. You'll find many example of how to do this. It takes very minimal code.
Unlike your chat scenario, this is a very client-side solution, and phones you might not want to could upload files -- there's no blacklist -- but it's easy to implement.

For those interested in (terrible) code to perform various FTP functions, here's what worked for me.
It requires the apache commons ftp jar file which can be found on the internet.

errors when using the bluetooth sample code on android developer site

I am working to add Bluetooth capabilities to my app and ultimately the device that I want to use is a headset/earpiece. I have begun assembling the code and I partial functionality with it. When I got to the code for setting up a bluetooth connection by server, I got errors when adding the code. I have tried solving the problems through the hover over the error and autocorrect but every time I fix one problem a different on arises. This leads me to believe that I am missing something that autocorrect doesn't know about. I need some help fixing the errors. Useful suggestions for setting a bluetooth codin for the first time would also be appreciated. Errors are surrounded with ||#| xxx |||. Error 1:cannot be resolved. Error 2:cannot be resolved to a variable. Error 3:undefined for the type AcceptSocket.
import java.io.IOException;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothServerSocket;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothSocket;
public class AcceptSocket extends Thread {
private static final String MY_UUID = null;
BluetoothServerSocket mmServerSocket;
public void AcceptThread() {
// Use a temporary object that is later asssigned to mmServerSocket,
// because mmServerSocket is final
BluetoothServerSocket tmp = null;
try {
// MY_UUID is the app's UUID string, also used by the client code
tmp = ||1|mBluetoothAdapter|||.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(||2|NAME|||,
MY_UUID);
} catch (IOException e) {
}
mmServerSocket = tmp;
}
public void run() {
BluetoothSocket socket = null;
// Keep listening until exception occurs or a socket is returned
while (true) {
try {
socket = mmServerSocket.accept();
} catch (IOException e) {
break;
}
// If a connection was accepted
if (socket != null) {
// Do work to manage the connection (in a separate thread)
||3|manageConnectedSocket|||(socket);
mmServerSocket.close();
break;
}
}
}
/** Will cancel the listening socket, and cause the thread to finish */
public void cancel() {
try {
mmServerSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}

Error 1,2: There is no constant called NAME anywhere in the class.
Error 3: There is no method called manageConnectedSocket() in the class.
You can't just copy and paste something from the developer's page and expect it to work. It leads you in the correct direction and you have to fill in the missing pieces.

Music in Java (start/stop)

Ok, so I am making a game and the music changes when you are in different regions or if there is an interruption, like with an AI.
So I have JUST learned how to make music showup in my program, and now I am trying to make it stop, but I am unsure how to, below is a snippet of code where the music plays and then I try to overwite it with new music when an action occurs.
public static void songs(String word) {
String temp = word;
if (temp.equals("start")) {
try {
try {
blah = new FileInputStream("C:/Users/Austin/Desktop/Storage/programimages/game/battle.wav");
} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
AudioStream as = new AudioStream(blah);
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
System.out.println("going");
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println(e);
}
}
if (temp.equals("stop")) {
try {
try {
blah = new FileInputStream("C:/Users/Austin/Desktop/Storage/programimages/game/silence.wav");
} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
AudioStream as = new AudioStream(blah);
AudioPlayer.player.stop(as);
System.out.println("stopping");
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println(e);
}
}
}
This is the only method I have been able to find that has the music play, but if you guys have any other suggestions please let me know.
Again, I want to have sound affects and music going, and right now all that happens is one song will play, and it will not stop under any circumstance until it hits the very end of its length. I want to be able to stop songs whenever a new one should come on, and also allow sound affects to pop up.
Thanks!
(since I am stuck on this and need an answer now I will probably repost on one or two more java sites so I can get a response ASAP, thank you though!!!!)
EDITED CODE: (still does not stop the current stream, any more suggestions appreciated)
public static void songs(String word) throws IOException {
String temp = word;
if (temp.equals("go")) {
try {
blah = new FileInputStream("C:/Users/Austin/Desktop/Storage/programimages/game/battle.wav");
} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
AudioStream as = new AudioStream(blah);
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
System.out.println("going");
}
if (temp.equals("stop")) {
//don't try and do things with a null object!
if (as != null) {
AudioPlayer.player.stop(as);
System.out.println("stopping1");
}
System.out.println("stopping2");
AudioPlayer.player.stop(as);
}
}

Currently you're creating a new AudioStream in your stop branch and calling the stop method using this. This is a different object to the one that is currently playing. Try making the AudioStream a class variable, and calling stop on that instead.
EDIT: at the top of the class containing your code...
class YourClass {
//the class member variable
private AudioStream as;
//[etc...]
In your start branch:
// 'as' has already been defined above
as = new AudioStream(blah);
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
System.out.println("going");
In your stop branch:
try
{
//don't try and do things with a null object!
if (as != null)
{
AudioPlayer.player.stop(as);
}
System.out.println("stopping");
}
catch (IOException e)
{
System.err.println(e);
}
You may have trouble with the static identifier on your method - if you're calling this from within an instantiated class you don't need this.

I can't even access these sun.audio Objects on my Eclipse IDE--I know they are in rt.jar, but there is header info about them being proprietary and such.
Can the Java Sound library (javax.sound.sampled) handle what you want to do? Both Clip and SourceDataLine allow one to stop playback. That is a more usual way of playing sound, if you want to use native Java.
Playback into is here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/sound/playing.html
But the documentation, overall, is not exactly rich with examples. There's example code at this site
http://www.jsresources.org/
and plenty of people here who could help if you run into problems with the native Java approach.

How do I discover peers and send messages in JXTA-JXSE 2.6?

Using JXTA 2.6 from http://jxse.kenai.com/ I want to create application that can run multiple peers on one or more hosts. The peers should be able to find each other in a group and send direct messages as well as propagate messages.
What would a simple hello world type of application look like that meet these requirements?
I created this question with the intention of supplying a tutorial like answer, an answer I tried very hard to find two months ago when starting to look at JXTA for a uni project. Feel free to add your own answers or improve on mine. I will wait a few days and accept the best one.

Introduction to JXTA 2.6 Peer discovery and pipe messaging
The guide I wish I had 2 months ago =)
After spending a lot of time during a university course building
a JXTA p2p application I feel a lot of the frustrations and
confusion I went through could have been avoided with a good
starting point.
The jar files you will need can be found here:
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/comkenaijxse-057/com/kenai/jxse/jxse/2.6/jxse-2.6.jar
http://sourceforge.net/projects/practicaljxta/files/lib-dependencies-2.6.zip/download
Throw them into Yourproject/lib, open up eclipse, create a new project "Yourproject" and it should sort out
importing the libraries for you.
You will soon come to realize that almost any information on the web is out dated, very out dated.
You will also run into a lot of very confusing error messages and most of them can be avoided by
going through this check list.
Is your firewall turned off or at least open for the ports you use?
You can disable iptables using "sudo service iptables stop" under Fedora.
Check spelling! Many times when joining groups or trying to send messages spelling the group name wrong or not using the
exact same advertisement when looking for peers and services or opening pipes will cause very confusing messages.
Was trying to figure out why my pipe connections timed out when I spotted the group names being "Net info" and "Net_info".
Are you using a JXTA home directory? One per each peer you run on the same computer?
Do you really use a unique peer id? The seed provided to IDFactory need to be long enough or else you will get duplicates.
Turn off SELinux. I have had SELinux turned off during the development but can imagine it causing errors.
While it is common to group all fields together I introduce them as I go to show where they are needed.
Note: This will not work in 2.7. Some issue with PSE membership I think.
