A fix to the bluetooth connection problem

Hi

If this problem still is not resolved, the code below describes how to make the connection work with Android 2.1 (Tested on HTC Desire). Just replace "00:07:80:89:EE:EB" with the MAC of your HXM to make it connect. After the connection is successful, a regular method with input = socket.getInputStream() can be used.

BluetoothDevice hxm = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().getRemoteDevice("00:07:80:89:EE:EB");
Method m = hxm.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket", new Class[]{int.class});
socket = (BluetoothSocket)m.invoke(hxm, Integer.valueOf(1));
socket.connect();

Hope the fix will be out very soon =)
