I am trying to get serial port data via "Bluetooth". But it throws "'int java.io.InputStream.read(byte[])' on a null object reference" error.
Here is the java code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
TextView myLabel;
EditText myTextbox;
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
Button listen;
BluetoothDevice mmDevice;
OutputStream mmOutputStream;
InputStream mmInputStream;
Thread workerThread;
byte[] readBuffer;
int readBufferPosition;
int counter;
volatile boolean stopWorker;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button openButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.open);
Button sendButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.send);
listen=(Button)findViewById(R.id.listen);
Button closeButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.close);
myLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.label);
myTextbox = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.entry);
//Open Button
openButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
try
{
findBT();
openBT();
}
catch (IOException ex) { }
}
});
//Send Button
sendButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
try
{
sendData();
}
catch (IOException ex) { }
}
});
//Close button
closeButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
try
{
closeBT();
}
catch (IOException ex) { }
}
});
listen.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
beginListenForData();
}
});
}
void findBT()
{
mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if(mBluetoothAdapter == null)
{
myLabel.setText("No bluetooth adapter available");
}
if(!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled())
{
Intent enableBluetooth = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
startActivityForResult(enableBluetooth, 0);
}
Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
if(pairedDevices.size() > 0)
{
for(BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices)
{
if(device.getName().equals("Dual-SPP"))
{
mmDevice = device;
break;
}
}
}
myLabel.setText("Bluetooth Device Found");
}
void openBT() throws IOException
{
UUID uuid = UUID.fromString("34341788-4dd0-11ec-a84d-575393abcb7e"); //Standard SerialPortService ID
mmSocket = mmDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(uuid);
mmSocket.connect();
mmOutputStream = mmSocket.getOutputStream();
mmInputStream = mmSocket.getInputStream();
beginListenForData();

}
public void beginListenForData()
{
final Handler handler = new Handler();
final byte delimiter = 10; //This is the ASCII code for a newline character
stopWorker = false;
readBufferPosition = 0;
readBuffer = new byte[1024];
workerThread = new Thread(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
while(!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted() && !stopWorker)
{
try
{
int bytesAvailable;
bytesAvailable = mmInputStream.read();
if(bytesAvailable > 0)
{
byte[] packetBytes = new byte[bytesAvailable];
mmInputStream.read(packetBytes);
for(int i=0;i<bytesAvailable;i++)
{
byte b = packetBytes[i];
if(b == delimiter)
{
byte[] encodedBytes = new byte[readBufferPosition];
System.arraycopy(readBuffer, 0, encodedBytes, 0, encodedBytes.length);
final String data = new String(encodedBytes, "US-ASCII");

}
}
});
workerThread.start();
}
void sendData() throws IOException
{
String msg = myTextbox.getText().toString();
msg += "\n";
mmOutputStream.write(msg.getBytes());
myLabel.setText("Data Sent");
}
void closeBT() throws IOException

}
}
The error log:
FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-2
Process: com.example.spider_ecg, PID: 17829
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.io.InputStream.read()' on a null object reference
I don't know where is the issue starting from, And the serial port that am connecting sends data continuously without an start command, so I need to read the without a start. Is there any method to solve this issue or any other procedure.
