A Bluetooth Server on Android: part 2, the code

From the previous post
Summary for a bluetooth server:
- Turn the bluetooth chip on
- Be visible to others
- Create a Service
- Listen for incoming connection

The methoed for realize the previous steps are in these methoeds extracted by the code of TetheringIndicator.

	//Main necessary methoeds
	// get the bluetooth device reference
	public BluetoothAdapter findMyBT(BluetoothAdapter myBt){
	myBt = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
	if (myBt!= null) {
	Log.i("BTDEV","BT Device Found!");
	Log.i("BTDEV","" + myBt.getName());
	return myBt;
	} else {
	Log.i("BTDEV","No BT Device Found!");
	return null;
	}
	}
	//ask to enable BT to user
	public void enableMyBT(BluetoothAdapter myBt) {
	if ( ! myBt.isEnabled()) {
	Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
	actv.startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);
	}
	}
	//ask to be visible for <visibility> seconds.
	public void beVisible() {
	Log.i("BTDEV","Let me be visible. thanks.");
	Intent discoverableIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE);
	discoverableIntent.putExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_DISCOVERABLE_DURATION, visibility);
	this.actv.startActivity(discoverableIntent);
	}
	///start listening for incoming data
	//this methoed must run inside a thread.
	private void listenForConnection() {
	try{
	BluetoothServerSocket bss = myBT.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord("YOURSERVICENAME", UUID); //the UUID need to be GENERATED
	bs = bss.accept();
	bss.close();
	out = bs.getOutputStream();
	out.write("goodbye".getBytes()); //send a message
	//....
	out.close(); //close it
	bs.close();
	} catch (IOException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
	}
	}
