Keep bluetooth service running for all fragments

I'm stuck and can't find a way to restart or reconnect the Bluetooth service in my app. The app has 3 fragments, tabs managed by FragmentPagerAdapter.
In the first fragment you can discover, associate and communicate with the BT device. In the second and third card it is necessary to interact with the device, it is not possible to get the connection or keep the service connected.
Here it goes the first fragment:
public class Conexiones extends Fragment implements ServiceConnection, SerialListener {
public BluetoothAdapter BTAdapter;
private ListView listView; // detectados
private ArrayList<String> mDeviceList;
public Button conectar, actualizar;
private ArrayAdapter m_DiscoveredPeersAdapter;

Managing code when you are using Bluetooth or system-related task is too hard because it creates a tightly coupled code eventually turn into the buggy code. So you can use this and this libraries to do your task neat and cleanly. Please check the example app for my suggested first and second libraries. If you face any struck in implementation let me know.

Run service from an activity or from the App class.
upd:
Or use singleton as a main point to communicate with the BluetoothHelper

I solved this of my way, by keeping the bluetooth socket static.
I've setted the 'boolean' object {TRUE, PENDING, FALSE}, in service and handled this object with service listener in others activities.
in the activities i unbind the service but do not disconnect socket, but as i don't disconnect from socket when change activities, there's a memory leak, but for me isn't a problem.
result:
the socket keeps connected and i can access the device from all activities, and the error handling (discconect, bluetooth off) happens thanks to listener

Create a service running in a different process not the main app process. Communicate with main app and service using broadcast receivers. This makes sure you can be anywhere in main app but you can still interact with Ble service

solved moving all the bluetooth code: broadcast receiver, service instance and socket instance, to the main activity, then in the fragments the service is attached (bind service) or (if null) started again.
#Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
if (isVisibleToUser) {
Log.e("mio", "dentro de is visible to user identif ");
// connect();
if(service != null){
service.attach(this);
Log.e("mio", "caso attach ");
}
else{
Log.e("mio", "caso start service 1 ");
getActivity().startService(new Intent(getActivity(), SerialService.class)); // prevents service destroy on unbind from recreated activity caused by orientation change
// service.attach(this);
}
This solves the problem nice and easy, so the service is available when user see data in the fragment, and communication is well received and sent.

Can't receive data of the HC - 05 after successful connection on my android studio app

I have used BluetoothSPP Library:
https://github.com/akexorcist/Android-BluetoothSPPLibrary
The arduino connecting successfully to the android studio application, but I can't receive the data, I will import both of my codes and please some one tell me if I did something wrong, from what I read and understood , bluetooth.setOnDataReceivedListener is the function to receive and you should place bluetooth.print(data) on the arduino part in order to

arduino part:

The Arduino code looks right.
Try first a Bluetooth serial monitor on your Android to check if the data is really being sent and received.
Then make sure in your Android code you connect to the module first then try to receive the data.

How to show values other than the sample text that's on textView in Android

I'm making a OBDII reader app and would like to see the (in this case) voltage on text rather than in the Logcat which is what I currently see. You can see in the code below where I read the voltage in my while loop. Is it possible to update the textView everytime the loop runs?
Any help is appreciated!

Your object extends the Thread so I assume that it would be started like this
ConnectedThread ct = new ConnectedThread(socket);
ct.start();
In Android you can't update View from non-UI thread. You would need to create a Handler and pass the data to it. In you Handler implementation you would be able to call the setText() method to update your TextView.
See this link for more details about communication with UT thread.
For the updated post
I personally don't like the idea to change the layout of the Activity in the Handler implementation - I would go for Fragments usage.
Anyway after calling the setContentView(R.layout.activity_connected) in your Handler you need to call the findViewById again to find the TextView in your activity_connected layout:
case BTHandler.STATE_CONNECTED:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_connected);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.title_connected_to, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.v("Log", "Connected");
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
tv.setText("Connected");
break;
Code snippet update
ConnectedThread#run()
public void run() {
OBDcmds();
ModuleVoltageCommand voltageCommand = new ModuleVoltageCommand();
//TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
try {
voltageCommand.run(mmInStream, mmOutStream);
Log.d("Log", "Voltage:" + voltageCommand.getFormattedResult());
guiHandler(Constants.VOLTAGE_STATUS, 0, voltageCommand.getFormattedResult())
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Handler implementation
private Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
TextView textView = null;
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
switch (msg.what) {
case Constants.MESSAGE_STATE_CHANGE:
switch (msg.arg1) {
case BTHandler.STATE_CONNECTED:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_connected);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.title_connected_to, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.v("Log", "Connected");
textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
break;
case BTHandler.STATE_NONE:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.title_not_connected, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
break;
case Constants.VOLTAGE_STATUS:
if(msg.obj != null && textView != null){
textView.setText((String)msg.obj)
}
break;
}
}
};

Use textView.setText(voltageCommand.getFormattedResult())

First, you need to map your textView to the resource ID.
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
you can place the above line after setContentView("your layout");
Now, you can use this textView and set the data as shown below,
textView.setText(voltageCommand.getFormattedResult());

This is about Android app development basics, you should read the tutorials at developer.android.com.
You can access the TextView with
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewbyId(R.id.textView);.
Then change your text with
textView.setText("new message");

Not able to connect to bluetooth devices programmatically

My aim is to connect to already paired bluetooth devices. I have got all the paired devices names and I am displaying them in a listview. When I click on any of the device name from the listview it should connect to that device if its within the range.
Whenever I try to connect to the device by calling mmSocket.connect() I get this system error in my log cat shown below and then it calls mmSocket.close():
06-22 17:40:50.617: W/System.err(25986): java.io.IOException: read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1
06-22 17:40:50.618: W/System.err(25986): at android.bluetooth.BluetoothSocket.readAll(BluetoothSocket.java:510)

After onClick List Item you get the Bluetooth Name, using that name you can get Bluetooth Device object by calling BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().getRemoteDevice(bluetoothDevice.getAddress());
Here is a sample code to connect to Bluetooth device..
//global variable
BluetoothSocket mBSocket;
// inside run() function
mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if(mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
try {
for(BluetoothDevice bt: mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices()) {
if(bt.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(selectedDevice.getName())) {
BluetoothDevice device = mBluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(bt.getAddress());
mBluetoothAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
mBSocket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(SPP_UUID);
mBSocket.connect();
return mBSocket;
}
}
} catch(IOException e) {
if(mBSocket != null) {
try {
mBSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
mBSocket = null;
}
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
return null;
Hope it helps.
