Sending a File using Bluetooth OBEX Object Push Profile (OPP)

Question

Is there any way to send a file using the android bluetooth API using OBEX?

I need to send a file to a printer that supports OBEX OPP only.

I can send the fi

Answer 1

There are no public APIs for accessing OBEX. On why there are no APIs - Google knows best :)

Answer 2

i think there is support in Android for OPP.There is a path in android/packages/apps/Bluetooth/...../opp/*.java

If your version doesnot have this, i found a useful link that will help to use OBEX OPP in android. Android framework modification is needed here.

Answer 3

I've written a sample application to test the answer provided. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me, so I think this question is not completely answered.

Answer 4

Someone said that it works fine in some Samsung phones, but not work in other Samsung phones. Then I used "BluetoothShare" to write a simple test program, and ask my friends to borrow me phone to test...

1. It can NOT work in HTC Incredible
2. It can work in SonyEricsson Xperia arc S

Therefore, I think that some phones are not compatible with these BluetoothShare codes...
