Bluetooth example on Android using Python / Pyjnius

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.

It's been so long, I am not familiar with this project anymore, best to contact the upstream author

livnor should be replaced by human readable bluetooth name (The one that shows up in bluetooth settings of your device and is editable).
Also it would be great if the code is explained further.
Like there is absolutely no documentation available about why we are using UUID , unless i explicitly learn about bluetooth standards.
Please tag the upstream author, so i can communicate with him.
I would gladly be interested in improving code and readability.

Yes replace livnor with the name of your bluetooth device.
For eg. My raspberry pi bluetooth name in settings shows as raspberrypi.
Using this name fixed it.

Use common sense, The code is running on your phone, so you will try to connect with external device. Put the name that shows in bluetooth settings of your phone when you pair your phone with the device you are trying to connect to.

Even after changing the name still facing the same error! Any solution to this? Perhaps I need to change the socket as well , as it is None currently.
