Hi. I want to make a test with the bluetooth on my device (the code is not mine, is from here: Android-java-code-utilities-widgets-for-Processing-for-Android/Android Arduino Bluetooth example at master · EmmanuelPil/Android-java-code-utilities-widgets-for-Processing-for-Android · GitHub) The problem is that each time I want to run the code, this appears: FATAL EXCEPTION: Animation Thread Process: processing.test.sketch_220904e, PID: 8302 java.lang.SecurityException: Need android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT permission for AttributionSource { uid = 10015, packageName = processing.test.sketch_220904e, attributionTag = null, token = android.os.BinderProxy@b49afa6, next = null }: AdapterService getBondedDevices at android.os.Parcel.createExceptionOrNull(Parcel.java:2437) at android.os.Parcel.createException(Parcel.java:2421) at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:2404) at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:2346) at android.bluetooth.IBluetooth$Stub$Proxy.getBondedDevices(IBluetooth.java:5168) at android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices(BluetoothAdapter.java:3762) at ketai.net.bluetooth.KetaiBluetooth.getPairedDeviceNames(KetaiBluetooth.java:264) at processing.test.sketch_220904e.sketch_220904e.setup(sketch_220904e.java:95) at processing.core.PApplet.handleDraw(PApplet.java:1878) at processing.core.PSurfaceNone.callDraw(PSurfaceNone.java:478) at processing.core.PSurfaceNone$AnimationThread.run(PSurfaceNone.java:518) Im not sure why this appears, even if I already set the sketch permissions with all the Bluetooth options, and in the settings of my phone it shows that the app has access to all bluetooth commands. import android.app.Activity;

As a test, please see if you can run this code: import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter; import android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice; import java.util.Set; String[] devices = {}; void findPairedBluetoothDevices() { BluetoothAdapter adapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(); if (adapter == null) { println("Device doesn't support Bluetooth."); } else { Set pairedDevices = adapter.getBondedDevices(); if (pairedDevices.size() > 0) { // Get the name and address of each paired device. for (BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices) { String deviceName = device.getName(); String deviceHardwareAddress = device.getAddress(); // MAC address String deviceInfo = deviceName + "\n " + deviceHardwareAddress; devices = append(devices, deviceInfo); println(deviceInfo); } } } } void setup() { fullScreen(); // orientation(LANDSCAPE); orientation(PORTRAIT); findPairedBluetoothDevices(); } void draw() { color BLUE = color(64,124,188); background(BLUE); fill(255); textSize(48); for(int j = 0; j < devices.length; j++) { text(devices[j], 130, 100 + (180 * j), 500, 180); } } Sketch Permissions: [permissions]

It works without a problem. Each device appears with their MAC adresses

Thanks for it, and one question. Is there like a simple code that just works like sending and receiving data over bluetooth serial?

Just plain desktop serial is pretty simple in Processing, but when you add Android bluetooth it’s not simple anymore. BluetoothLE is really special. Don’t let the length of the code dampen your enthusiasm; it’s not as bad as it seems. What’s on the other end, sending the data? Arduino is common.

Its basically to press one button on the phone and a led will turn on, press another button and the led will turn off, nothing more

Its basically to press one button on the phone and a led will turn on, press another button and the led will turn off, nothing more Where’s the led?

Im doing it with an ESP32, thats why I want bluetooth serial

I’m used to data going from the board to the Android; apparently you want to go in reverse - from Android to the board.

I managed to create a very simple program, and I have a question, and is that why when I press the square it keeps sending the string even if I release the square area on the screen? import ketai.net.bluetooth.*; import android.os.Bundle; String device_name = "PROMEESP32"; String device_mac = "78:21:84:97:F9:5E"; KetaiBluetooth bt; void setup(){ fullScreen(); orientation(LANDSCAPE); bt = new KetaiBluetooth(this); bt.getPairedDeviceNames(); bt.start(); bt.connectToDeviceByName(device_name); } void draw(){ fill(17,216,178); rect(100,100,100,100); if(mouseX >= 100 && mouseX = 100 && mouseY <= 200){ String str = "Cuadrado presionado \n"; byte[] data = str.getBytes(); bt.writeToDeviceName(device_name, data); text(" ",100,400); } } else{ text("Pantalla sin presionar",100,400); } }
