Android Bluetooth Communication call write medthod

I am attempting to use the MyBluetoothService class straight from the Android tutorials and call the write method from the main activity as suggested by the text. I would just like some guidance on how to pass a string from the main activity to the write method and send it to a connected Bluetooth device.
public class MyBluetoothService {
private static final String TAG = "MY_APP_DEBUG_TAG";
private Handler mHandler; // handler that gets info from Bluetooth service
// Defines several constants used when transmitting messages between the
// service and the UI.
private interface MessageConstants {
public static final int MESSAGE_READ = 0;
public static final int MESSAGE_WRITE = 1;
public static final int MESSAGE_TOAST = 2;
// ... (Add other message types here as needed.)
}
private class ConnectedThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
private final InputStream mmInStream;
private final OutputStream mmOutStream;
private byte[] mmBuffer; // mmBuffer store for the stream
public ConnectedThread(BluetoothSocket socket) {
mmSocket = socket;
InputStream tmpIn = null;
OutputStream tmpOut = null;
// Get the input and output streams; using temp objects because
// member streams are final.
try {
tmpIn = socket.getInputStream();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Error occurred when creating input stream", e);
}
try {
tmpOut = socket.getOutputStream();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Error occurred when creating output stream", e);
}
mmInStream = tmpIn;
mmOutStream = tmpOut;
}
public void run() {
mmBuffer = new byte[1024];
int numBytes; // bytes returned from read()
// Keep listening to the InputStream until an exception occurs.
while (true) {
try {
// Read from the InputStream.
numBytes = mmInStream.read(mmBuffer);
// Send the obtained bytes to the UI activity.
Message readMsg = mHandler.obtainMessage(
MessageConstants.MESSAGE_READ, numBytes, -1,
mmBuffer);
readMsg.sendToTarget();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d(TAG, "Input stream was disconnected", e);
break;
}
}
}
// Call this from the main activity to send data to the remote device.
public void write(byte[] bytes) {
try {
mmOutStream.write(bytes);
// Share the sent message with the UI activity.
Message writtenMsg = mHandler.obtainMessage(
MessageConstants.MESSAGE_WRITE, -1, -1, mmBuffer);
writtenMsg.sendToTarget();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Error occurred when sending data", e);
// Send a failure message back to the activity.
Message writeErrorMsg =
mHandler.obtainMessage(MessageConstants.MESSAGE_TOAST);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("toast",
"Couldn't send data to the other device");
writeErrorMsg.setData(bundle);
mHandler.sendMessage(writeErrorMsg);
}
}
// Call this method from the main activity to shut down the connection.
public void cancel() {
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not close the connect socket", e);
}
}
}
}

I'm really new on Sip and Voip Implementing in Android Studio. I got this code from google source code.
I believe this error occurs because of the use of hardware (audio). However I have been searching on google for almost 1 week and not giving results. Can someone help me?

I had same problem but when i changed targetSdkVersion to 12 in build.gradel its fixed.
and this answer helped me to fixed problem .

You must choose the BufferSize when you want to record or call in app. For example:
int bufferSize = AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize(rate, channelConfig, audioFormat);
if (bufferSize > 0 && bufferSize <= 256){
bufferSize = 256;
}else if (bufferSize > 256 && bufferSize <= 512){
bufferSize = 512;
}else if (bufferSize > 512 && bufferSize <= 1024){
bufferSize = 1024;
}else if (bufferSize > 1024 && bufferSize <= 2048){
bufferSize = 2048;
}else if (bufferSize > 2048 && bufferSize <= 4096){
bufferSize = 4096;
}else if (bufferSize > 4096 && bufferSize <= 8192){
bufferSize = 8192;
}else if (bufferSize > 8192 && bufferSize <= 16384){
bufferSize = 16384;
}else{
bufferSize = AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize(rate, channelConfig, audioFormat);
}

Difference between triggering camera.take picture from button click[Working] and through function call[Not working]

I am stuck at this. MY application clicks multiple images programmatically.
Issue is my take picture call is inside button listener click function.
1. When i do button click it triggers the thread for take picture that works.
2. If i directly call that obj.run() it does not-> shows take picture failed at run time.
3. If i do btn.perform click - still fails.
I am building an application that listens on a socket and on a trigger click multiple images n save them to create .gif.

ok the answer is from button click it comes from UI thread. But the function call does not. to run this call the function from UI thread . It will work!!

Receiving Bluetooth Serial Port (Virtual COM Port) data from Android 2.3.3 device in HyperTerminal

I'm developing an Android application which includes Bluetooth SPP Connection. The post on Receiving String from RFCOMM on PC, sent from Android really helped me.
Even my log in Eclipse says 'wrote 6 bytes out of 6' many times and then the socket gets closed. But, I want to receive (whatever I sent) in my PC using Hyperterminal. How do I do that? How to specify Virtual COM Port in code?
I'm using a Samsung SGH-T759 for testing in USB Debugging mode.
Here's my code:
public class BluetoothActivity extends Activity {
private int bluetooth = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_bluetooth);

}
#Override

// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_bluetooth, menu);

//TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);

System.out.println("Button clicked...");
if (mBluetoothAdapter == null) {
//txtView.setText("This device does not support Bluetooth");
CharSequence txt = "This device does not support Bluetooth";
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), txt, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
toast.show();
}
else {
//CharSequence text = "Bluetooth is supported!!!";
System.out.println("Bluetooth is supported!!!");
if (!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);

I myself solved it. I had to use the listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(NAME,SERIAL_UUID) to register my phone's SPP capability on my laptop. Then, my laptop assigned a COM port for SPP communication with my phone. Then, I specified this port in AccessPort137 (another application similar to hyperterminal and better than that in some aspects) and established communication properly. My working code follows:

Uncomment and run the ConnectThread also if you want bi-directional communication. I only had to receive values; so, I've commented it out. But, this thread has to be run in order to establish a COM port for your phone with your laptop. This is because, only when an application like this which uses Bluetooth SPP is run in the phone and tries to pair with the laptop (using this ConnectThread), the laptop will register the SPP capability of the phone. To see this and enable SPP from your laptop's side, do the following:
Right-click on your Bluetooth icon in the taskbar and click on 'Show Bluetooth Devices'.
In the window that opens, find your phone (remember that it must already be paired with your laptop before even running this SPP application), right-click it and go to 'Properties'.
Go to the 'Services' tab and you'll find a new entry called by the name that you provide as the first parameter in the listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord() method. For me it's 'SPP'.
Check that new service to enable SPP between your laptop and your phone.
Now, if you check the 'Hardware' tab, a COM port will be specified which you can use in HyperTerminal or any such application and start communicating.
Also, remember that this is NOT possible with Windows 8 yet! Whatever I've mentioned here pertains to Windows 7; I haven't done this in Windows XP even though it will be pretty much the same method.
I hope my solution helps! And, I welcome comments on my (novice) code from experts in these things - after all, I guess StackOverflow is primarily for that purpose.
