android studio control droiduino bluetooth arduino with bluetooth

arduino crush course :

arduino is a microcontroller used to controll robots.

an arduino shield is a part you connect to an arduino board to increase its available functions.

most popular arduino board variations :

Arduino Uno : popular board for begginers
Arduino Mega: if you need more input/output ports
Arduino nano :small scale arduino boards

to code an arduino board you need the arduino IDE installed on your computer
then send the code via USB cable to the arduino board.

arduino IDE DL link :

https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/

when connecting the board make sure the IDE recognizes it :
tools->choose your board
next select the usb port
tools->port
(the board needs to be connected only when you are ready to send the compiled code)
there is a V btn to compile and an arrow btn to send the code to the arduino board

the IDE has example code.
file->examples->basics->blink

every arduino code cosists of 2 functions :
1 setup : runs once
2 loop : runs non stop

the code has been beefed up to enable automatic enabling of bluetooth programmaticaly
connect to a bluetooth headset, and animate the recyclerview.

in the manifest file :
add bluetooth permissions under package

<!--Permissions for Bluetooth access-->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

right click java classes folder at left explorer window and add a new empty activity.

activity_select_device.xml :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".SelectDeviceActivity">

    <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/deviceList"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>


SelectDeviceActivity:

Code:

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;

import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice;
import android.os.Bundle;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;

public class SelectDeviceActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_select_device);

        // Instantiate RecyclerView
        RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.deviceList);

        // Initialize Bluetooth adapter
        BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
        //enable bluetooth programmaticaly :

        if (!bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
            bluetoothAdapter.enable();
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        // Fetch the list from Android device's cache
        Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = bluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
        List<Object> deviceList = new ArrayList<>();
        for (BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices){
            String deviceName = device.getName();
            String deviceHardwareAddress = device.getAddress();
            DeviceInfoModel deviceInfoModel = new DeviceInfoModel(deviceName,deviceHardwareAddress);
            deviceList.add(deviceInfoModel);
        }

        // Setting Up RecyclerView
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));

        // Connecting to Data Source and Content Layout
        // Data source is the list of Bluetooth devices that are paired with Android Device
        ListAdapter listAdapter = new ListAdapter(this,deviceList);
        recyclerView.setAdapter(listAdapter);


    }
}


n the res, layout directory add a layout for the items in the recycler view :
item_layout.xml :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textItem"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <View
        android:id="@+id/divider"
        android:layout_width="409dp"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
        android:background="?android:attr/listDivider"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textItem" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

add java class DeviceInfoModel, this will hold device bluetooth addresses and names :

Code:

public class DeviceInfoModel {

    private String deviceName, deviceHardwareAddress;

    public DeviceInfoModel(){}

    public DeviceInfoModel(String deviceName, String deviceHardwareAddress){
        this.deviceName = deviceName;
        this.deviceHardwareAddress = deviceHardwareAddress;
    }

    public String getDeviceName(){return deviceName;}

    public String getDeviceHardwareAddress(){return deviceHardwareAddress;}

}


add (java class) ListAdaptor

Code:

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;

import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;

import java.util.List;

public class ListAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {

    private Context context;
    private List<Object> deviceList;

    public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        TextView textName;

        public ViewHolder(View view){
            super(view);
            textName = view.findViewById(R.id.textItem);
        }
    }

    public ListAdapter(Context context, List<Object> deviceList){
        this.context = context;
        this.deviceList = deviceList;
    }

    public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType){
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_layout,parent,false);
        ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder(view);
        return viewHolder;
    }

    public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder,int position){
        // Get Device Name and Device Address
        DeviceInfoModel deviceInfoModel = (DeviceInfoModel) deviceList.get(position);
        String deviceName = deviceInfoModel.getDeviceName();
        final String deviceAddress = deviceInfoModel.getDeviceHardwareAddress();

        // Assign Device name to the list
        ViewHolder itemHolder = (ViewHolder) holder;
        itemHolder.textName.setText(deviceName);

        // Return to Main Screen when a device is selected
        // And pass device Address information to create connection
        itemHolder.textName.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
                intent.putExtra("deviceAddress",deviceAddress);
                context.startActivity(intent);
            }
        });

    }

    public int getItemCount(){
        int dataCount = deviceList.size();
        return dataCount;
    }

}

optional :

add animetions to the recycler view in the SelectDeviceActivity :


recycler animation beef up :

res, create anim folder, add :
1 item_animation_fall_down.xml :

XML:

Code:

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:duration="2000">



    <translate

        android:fromYDelta="-20%"

        android:toYDelta="0"

        android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"

        />



    <alpha

        android:fromAlpha="0"

        android:toAlpha="1"

        android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"

        />



    <scale

        android:fromXScale="105%"

        android:fromYScale="105%"

        android:toXScale="100%"

        android:toYScale="100%"

        android:pivotX="50%"

        android:pivotY="50%"

        android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"

        />



</set>


android:duration="2000" is how long the animation runs

and layout_animation_fall_down.xml :

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<layoutAnimation

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:animation="@anim/item_animation_fall_down"

android:delay="15%"

android:animationOrder="normal"

/>

bind the animation to the xml recycler widget like this view xml attribute :

android:layoutAnimation="@anim/layout_animation_fall_down"
^ put this in the recycler View in the selectdeviceactivity

arduino code for this project

Code:

  /* Char to Integer conversion according to ASCII Table
  * this is used to convert command from Android
  * "w" = 119 --> turn on LED
  * "s" = 115 --> turn off LED
  * "d" = 100 --> make the LED blinking
  *
  */

int ledPin = 13; // Built-in LED
int androidCmd; // Command message from Android

void setup() {
  // LED Setup
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // LED is OFF by default
 
  // Bluetooth Setup
  Serial.begin(9600); // Default communication rate of the Bluetooth Module

}

void loop() {
  // Read incoming command from Android
  if (Serial.available() > 0){
    androidCmd = Serial.read();
    Serial.println(androidCmd); // For debug purpose
  }

  // Translate Android command into Action
  if (androidCmd == 119){ // Equivalent to the character "w"
    Serial.println("LED is ON/n"); // Send status message to Android
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn On LED
  } else {
    if (androidCmd == 115){ // Equivalent to the character "s"
      Serial.println("LED is OFF/n"); // Send status message to Android
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn Off LED
    } else {
      if (androidCmd == 100){ // Equivalent to the character "d"
        Serial.println("LED is Blinking/n"); // Send status message to Android
        blinkingLed(); // LED is blinking
      }
    }
  }
}

// Function to Blink LED
// Called from the loop function
void blinkingLed(){
  digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
  delay(500);
}
