More Bluetooth Articles - The Bluetooth Music Store!
Now, if you’ve never written an application that uses the Bluetooth protocol with OBEX before, then (in my opinion) the effort can be a little daunting. Of course, The Bluetooth specification gives you plenty of options on how to send data, but the best way to send files between two devices is truly the OBEX protocol in the Bluetooth specification. Below are links to two articles that I wrote for IBM a few years ago, and the code provides some great examples for developers. Additionally, if you’re looking for help in developing a desktop application that uses Bluetooth and OBEX, then the example code in these two articles will be invaluable to you since all the examples were written using the JSR-82 API on the Java SE JVM.
The first article is entitled, “File transfer with JSR-82 and OBEX“, and shows you how to create an OBEX server using Java code. The second article is entitled, Creating the Bluetooth Music Store, and it shows you how to create an OBEX client application. At the end of second article, there’s another example application presented (which extends the basic OBEX client application) which is called the Bluetooth Music Store.
The articles got high ratings by the readers on the IBM site, so I figured that you would find them of interest. Of course, you can find links to all the mobile computing articles in the “articles section” on main JavaBluetooth.com site.
