I've been having this problem for a while and haven't been able to figure it out.
I have a android application that puts all paired devices in a listview. When you click one of the list items, it will initiate a request to connect to that bluetooth device.
I can get the list of devices with their addresses no problem. The problem is that once I try to connect I get an IOException on socket.connect();
The error message is as follows: "connect read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1"
Here is my code. ANY suggestions would be appreciated. I'm pretty stuck on this.
fyi: the "onEvent" methods is a library that simplifies callbacks...that part works. When the user clicks on a list items this method is called "public void onEvent(EventMessage.DeviceSelected event)"
public class EcoDashActivity extends BaseActivity {
public static final UUID MY_UUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB");

public void cancel() {

}
Here is my logcat. Pretty short.

That last line is in the "Catch" section of a try/catch...I'm just logging the error message.
Please note, there is about a 20 second gap between "trying to connect to device" and "failed to connect"
