Bluetooth And Java

Recommended Posts

Hey all Java programmers on Xisto,I'm wondering is it possible for Java to communicate to another computer through a Bluetooth device?The reason I ask this is because I want to create an instant messenger that would be using the Bluetooth "network" so that people can use their computers to communicate from one to another without the use of the Internet.This is very useful in situations where you want to talk to a friend nearby but does not have access to the Internet and cannot talk to them in person.Thanks,xboxrulz

Ok, this might not be the response that you are looking for but just in case... You can try asking that question in the Sun Java forum. It is free to join... just go to the Sun website... And if I remember correctly, I think Java does allow you to communicate using Bluetooth... there is some libraries, something like that....

Ive seen a program doing the exact same thing many moons ago...It was on click online from the BBC.Guys on the clip were using it in the office to chat when MSN was banned form thier office..In the old days a lot of phones had BT on from when you start up the phone..you had to turn it off all the time in the menu...I saw another java app that basically tried a handshake with any BT device around every 100ms...so basically it was scanning for open phones...phones without keys on them..so they could leech photos..docs and stuff from them .))))

I made an Instant messenging program using java, in which all clients connected to a server.Bluetooth though, never thought of that. Sounds extremely interesting.Let us know if you are ever successful with this.

I'm glad you found some api literature on your subject, I can relate how painful it is not to find good dox on projects.

However, maybe this link might also be of help to you:
