A listening Bluetooth socket.

The interface for Bluetooth Sockets is similar to that of TCP sockets: Socket and ServerSocket. On the server side, use a BluetoothServerSocket to create a listening server socket. When a connection is accepted by the BluetoothServerSocket, it will return a new BluetoothSocket to manage the connection. On the client side, use a single BluetoothSocket to both initiate an outgoing connection and to manage the connection.

The most common type of Bluetooth socket is RFCOMM, which is the type supported by the Android APIs. RFCOMM is a connection-oriented, streaming transport over Bluetooth. It is also known as the Serial Port Profile (SPP).

To create a listening BluetoothServerSocket that's ready for incoming connections, use BluetoothAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(). Then call accept() to listen for incoming connection requests. This call will block until a connection is established, at which point, it will return a BluetoothSocket to manage the connection. Once the BluetoothSocket is acquired, it's a good idea to call close() on the BluetoothServerSocket when it's no longer needed for accepting connections. Closing the BluetoothServerSocket will not close the returned BluetoothSocket.

BluetoothServerSocket is thread safe. In particular, close will always immediately abort ongoing operations and close the server socket.

Note: Requires the BLUETOOTH.BLUETOOTH permission.

Block until a connection is established.

Returns a connected BluetoothSocket on successful connection.

Once this call returns, it can be called again to accept subsequent incoming connections.

close can be used to abort this call from another thread.
