The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Free Bluetooth Development on WinXP using Java....  possible??   And how?

Asked by deepforestry in Bluetooth

Tags: , ,

Hi,

Need experts help here. I'm a final year student embarking on making a simple bluetooth application on Windows XP using Java. I've read a few thread in this forum regarding the use of free bluetooth stacks (so far the answer I've found is there's none).

For a start, all I'm trying to do is to get a free way to make my bluetooth device able to discover other bluetooth devices. So far have failed.

The bluetooth dongle I'm using is : Billionton Bluetooth USB Class 1 (USBBTC1A-B)


I've done a few experimentation myself, including :

1. Using a free implementation of the bluetooth stack (is the term right?) called The JavaBluetooth Stack (www.javabluetooth.org). To this, I was able to get it compiled on JBuilder 9 Personal (did not use ant). When I run it, the best results I got was "HCI: Sending Command: 3092" displayed on the console. But it failed to execute the command "localDev.getFriendlyName()". Also, I noticed the bcc (bluetooth control centre) is not part of the compiled code. Is that a must for the code the work?  Any suggestion on what when wrong?

2. I have also tried using Sun's JSR-82's Reference Implementation. But it seems to be made only for J2ME and not J2SE, am I right?

3. I've also taken a look at the Possio's example on how to get a simple app done. Found here : http://jsr82.devzone.possio.com/example_1.html. But for this example, does that means I NEED to get the possio's bluetooth dongle/device in order to get it to work?   Must make it clear that I have not tried executing this set of codes yet.

4. Also tried looking at Nokia's Development Suite, but would need to actually implement that on a Nokia handphone...  which defeats the purpose of getting it to work on J2SE....  (am i right?)

So, can the possio's set of code work for my dongle, or do I need to buy possio's dongle? Is there any other alternatives I can try in order to implement a simple bluetooth application using my bluetooth USB dongle?   I have another dongle which I haven't tried (PCI GW-BH02U). I don't mind buying another dongle in around the same price range if it means I can get a simple application to work.

Really gonna pull my hair out now....   help!!
