I am developing an android application with bluetooth chat. I have successfully implemented bluetooth chat with two phones.But my problem is that if I Change to next activity from the chatting activity the connection is lost then I am not able to send messages from second activity. How can I maintain my connection?
That is I want to stay connected through out my app. Whenever the user press on exit button then only the connection can disconnect. I want to send message from one activity and receive from another activity this is what I want. I am not able to create a background service with my code.
Can anyone help me to split my code? If I got a message from one phone then I want to process the message and I want to send back the result, that processing will be on next activity this is the working of my app.

I developed a similar bt-chat and i'll tell u what i did different which evantually worked:
instead of doInBackground, asyncTask and defining new runnable inside the activity i initiated and managed the connection on different threads. that way the connection stays opened.
EDIT: i added the server thread code. notice that when the server is connected it sends a broadcast so any activity could register it and receive so there is no problem in changing activities while the BT connects.
public class Server extends Thread {
private BluetoothAdapter btAdapter;
private String socketString = "a random string";
private BluetoothServerSocket btServerSocket;
private BluetoothSocket btConnectedSocket;
private final String TAG = "Server";
private MainActivity parent;
/*package-protected*/ static final String ACTION = "Bluetooth socket is connected";
private boolean connected;
public Server(MainActivity parent) {
this.parent = parent;
connected= false;
}
@Override
public void run() {
btAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
try {
Log.i(TAG, "getting socket from adapter");
btServerSocket = btAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(socketString, MainActivity.BT_UUID);
listen();
}
catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e(TAG, "error while initializing");
}
}
private void listen() {
Log.i(TAG, "listening");
btConnectedSocket = null;
while (!connected) {
try {
btConnectedSocket = btServerSocket.accept();
}
catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e(TAG,"connection failed");
connectionFailed();
}
if (btConnectedSocket != null) {
broadcast();
closeServerSocket();
}
else {
Log.i(TAG, "socket is null");
connectionFailed();
}
}
}
private void broadcast() {
try {
Log.i(TAG, "connected? "+btConnectedSocket.isConnected());
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(ACTION);
intent.putExtra("state", btConnectedSocket.isConnected());
parent.sendBroadcast(intent);
connected = true;
}
catch (RuntimeException runTimeEx) {
}
closeServerSocket();
}
private void connectionFailed () {
}
public void closeServerSocket() {
try {
btServerSocket.close();
}
catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e(TAG+":cancel", "error while closing server socket");
}
}
}
