Android example to communicate with Bluetooth device, HC-06 Bluetooth Module

The former exercise "Test HC-06 Bluetooth Module with Android BluetoothChat" show how to communicate between Android and HC-06 Bluetooth Module, using "Android BluetoothChat example".

And the post in my another blog "Arduino-er: Connect Arduino Due with HC-06 (Bluetooth Module)", show how to receive data from HC-06, send back to Bluetooth device and PC via USB.

Here, we are going to implement our own Android app (in Android Studio) to connect and communicate to Arduino Due + HC-06 Bluetooth Module. Actually, it is copied (with modified UUID) from my old example "Bluetooth communication between Android devices", AndroidBlueTooth part.


From the video, it can be noted that the first character always missed, or overwritten. We can verify it in Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor, the data received on Arduino Due (via Bluetooth) is correct.

[Updated@2015-10-31: Lost character Fixed, refer "Android communicate with Arduino + HC-06 Bluetooth Module, part II"]
