bluetooth and sms together

can somebody enlighten me on how to run a bluetooth device search and wait for receiving sms at the same time? i need these 2 to be running simultaneously.. or at least be able to work together effectively.

whenever i run the command "msg = smsconn.receive()" , it will stop here and won't be able to continue to run the bluetooth commands anymore.

hope you guys can guide me along.. thanks!

HI,
If you are using con.receive(),use it in a separate thread.Better way is to use MessageListener Interface, as it is non-blocking.
Hope this will help you.
For more info , read MessageListener

hey! thanks alot! your info really helped me.

but how do i access the contents of the sms if i use the messagelistener? becos i need to check the content of the sms to set a certain condition.

when i was using con.receive(), i accessed the code this way:

if (smsconn.receive() != null) {

//get contents of sms

}

Hi,
As you may have understood by reading above link, when a SMS receives MessageListener invokes notifyIncomingMessage(Conn) method. So in that method notify another thread which you have message reading
code. Use smsconn.receive() there as usual, and you don;t have to check for null, as logic comes to here only if
you are notified by a incoming SMS. Read this article,
it shows real code with threading for MessageListener ( "A Real-Life Example" - Last heading in article ).

Thanks! I've made use of the reference you gave. (:

Now i have another problem. when i do a bluetooth search for a certain device, the application will send a sms out. i created a new thread to send the sms out. but there is always this exception (java.lang.illegalargumentexception: host format) which i don't know what is causing it. can you help me here?

hey! i solved the error already. it was actually a careless mistake on my part. (:

Good luck
