BlueCove, Laptop, and an Android tablet with Bluetooth

I'm trying to get the basics of using Bluetooth through a simple application. I'd also like a laptop application so I can debug Bluetooth comms simply. The code below is my attempt with the laptop being the client (using BlueCove 2.1.0) and the tablet being the server (Android 2.2).

From what I understand, this should work as written, and the laptop is picking up both the tablet and its offered service. However, the line "StreamConnection conn = (StreamConnection) Connector.open(url, Connector.READ_WRITE);" returns null every time.

Any idea's what's going wrong? Here is the output from the code:

BlueCove version 2.1.0 on winsock

Bit of an update after a long time - turns out, bluetooth requires UUID's to take the form "0000xxxx00001000800000805f9b34fb", which does beg the question of why not just use 16 bit identifiers rather than 128 bit UUIDs, but never mind.

I don't know if BlueCove works with this on my laptop, but my recent experiments on my laptop with Linux and 'Bluez' suggest any UUID of that form works. Android maybe should include that in their documents as a note of some sort.

This is an old question, so I don't know if anyone is still looking for an answer, but here's one anyway... :). The line you've asked about is returning null because url is null. Try this UUID instead of the one in your code: 0000110100001000800000805f9b34fb.
