Bluetooth example with Kivy. A more fleshed-out example here: https://github.com/tito/android-demo. A more modern way of doing it: https://github.com/kivy/plyer. And this guy used Kivy to connect to an Arduino: https://github.com/brean/arduino-kivy-bluetooth. Native Kivy code (?): https://groups.google.com/d/msg/kivy-users/n_cMbFzf_1A/5edKgQgycx0J

Bluetooth/Pyjnius example
=========================

This was used to send some bytes to an arduino via bluetooth.
The app must have BLUETOOTH and BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permissions (well, i didn't
tested without BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, maybe it works.)

Connect your device to your phone, via the bluetooth menu. After the
pairing is done, you'll be able to use it in the app.

How to install jnius on windows?

using pip install jnius

JAVA error

prototype BLE interface in kivy at https://github.com/xloem/kivy-gattlib . gattlib is a c-based interface for ble on desktop. i just stumbled on it first kinda randomly when i needed to pick an interface.

Hi man, i have one problem. When i run app in android , app crashed. In adb logcat i have error
**AttributeError: 'Nonetype' object has no attribute 'connect'**
That is error on this line ? **socket = None**
Please help. Some fix ?

You need to change the socket to rfcomm
I used my laptop with regular bluetooth but for android you will need ble and different socket

Note: https://github.com/hbldh/bleak has an open pull request with example code for ble android support at hbldh/bleak#422

Were you able to solve this error? I am stuck in the same situation with no avail.

Why am I getting jnius.jnius.JavaException: JVM exception occurred: read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1 java.io.IOException

I am getting this error.
