There are a couple of threads on Stack Overflow regarding ways to test Bluetooth code on a PC. As a few people have mentioned, the emulator doesn't support BT (see the Bluetooth FAQ).
The best suggestion I've seen is to install Android-x86 on a virtual machine (VMWare/VirtualBox/Qemu). This is useful if you don't have access to a Androd device for development. I haven't tested this out, but I wasn't able to find anything online that indicated that Android-x86 doesn't support BT. - Android-x86: Installation ISO images (2.2 is the latest they seem to have) http://www.android-x86.org/download - Get source code http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode - Android-x86: VirtualBox HowTo http://www.android-x86.org/documents/virtualboxhowto I couldn't find download links for the 2.3 ISO on Android-x86. The "Get Source" page mentions a source code branch for 2.3. You could also try compiling the x86 code and creating the Gingerbread binaries yourself. I hope other list members who have successfully done any of the above would be able to give you some tips to get you going. As with anything else, you might want to test your app on a real device before releasing it to the public. ---- The following are some links you might want to consider checking out (some of them scraped from the Stack Overflow threads I mentioned): - Android Open Source Project http://source.android.com/ http://android.git.kernel.org/ - Building for Devices http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html - Binaries for Nexus Phones http://code.google.com/android/nexus/drivers.html - How to use Bluetooth in Android emulator? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2175076/how-to-use-bluetooth-in-android-emulator - Android-x86 How to use Bluetooth in Android emulator? - Bluetooth FAQ https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/projects/bluetooth-faq - Bluetooth support on Android Emulator http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2384461/bluetooth-support-on-android-emulator - Android Bluetooth Simulator https://github.com/cheng81/Android-Bluetooth-Simulator On Sun, May 29, 2011 at 11:01 PM, Kristopher Micinski <krismicin...@gmail.com> wrote: > BT only works on real devices, no emulator support (perhaps I heard of > someone hacking it, but typically it's best to be on a device.) > > On May 30, 2011 1:58 AM, "khanh_qhi™" <khanhqh20...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yeah, I run it on emulator and it won't work. > > On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 12:28 PM, Kristopher Micinski > <krismicin...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> > >> > Are you running it on the emulator?
