Bluetooth SPP

**big bb** · 12-13-2012, 03:28 PM

Just wondering if anyone has used the Bluetooth SPP?

I am making an app that need to send info to a bluetooth printer and I just need to send a string that has been converted in bytes. If anyone could point me to any sample code or any documentation
there was a little on the developer site but it seems to have gone missing.

Let me google that for you

Yes I already downloaded that and I get an error with the code and i did not change anything
error -> 'bt_rdev_get_address' was not declared in this scope
I am wait for a reply from @BlackBerryDev on that.
I commented out the code because I know the address, I manually put it in, but it is also looking for the SPP server and the printer is not running the SPP chat server that is in the code. I was just looking for the documentation for SPP because the BlackBerry Developer site does not have it anymore.

We all have to start somewhere. Be nice to your fellow devs Innovatology.

I have no problem with what Innovatology did. I get that it gets annoying when people ask for help and they have not even looked up what they want to know, or they just want code instead of learning.
I only posted here after I downloaded the Bluetooth SPP chat example, which i was getting an error with the code, I tweeted to @BlackBerryDev to find out why I was getting the error. Also the Bluetooth SPP documents was removed from the developer site, which I checked last night and it is back up. I am still waiting to hear back from @BlackBerryDev on the error.
I just just wondering if anyone knew of any other place that has other documentation on Bluetooth SPP.

I have some bad news for you. While there are APIs for SPP; apparently BB neglected to code for them in the OS. At this time, there is no serial port profile services available. I have tried each leaked and official OS for the STL-2 &3 and have paired many SPP devices. Each one shows None under services available.

I did get is to work on 10.0, I used their sample code for the bluetooth chat. I just didn't go further with it because my employer at the last minute changed from BlackBerry 10 to Android.
I hate when they change things at the last minute, I spent 4 month developing the BlackBerry 10 app, and the only thing i had left was getting to print to our bluetooth printer. Now that the Android version is finished, it sucks compared to the BlackBerry 10 version I had.

Why not turn you app into a Bluetooth Printing app?!?! Big $$$

I could it just bluetooth printers need different commands to do different things.
Also I was so pissed that they changed at the last min that I deleted my code, so that i would not keep working on it. since I knew little about Android and i had a month to learn and develop the app.
