Android Classic Bluetooth Implementation

Use this skill to implement Android Classic Bluetooth features with the correct RFCOMM model: adapter setup, paired-device lookup or discovery, client or server socket connection, stream-based data transfer, and deterministic cleanup.

When to Use This Skill

• Add Classic Bluetooth support to an Android app.
• Implement paired-device selection or nearby device discovery.
• Connect to a remote device over RFCOMM.
• Host a server socket and accept incoming connections.
• Transfer data through BluetoothSocket input and output streams.
• Review Classic Bluetooth code for permission, discovery, pairing, threading, or socket lifecycle issues.

Do Not Use This Skill When

• The target device communicates through BLE services and characteristics.
• The feature depends on GATT service discovery, characteristic reads, writes, notifications, or indications.

In those cases, switch to the BLE workflow instead of forcing a GATT device into an RFCOMM socket design.
