If you don't want this\r\n        //delete the super call. \r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void onDeviceSelected(String macAddress) {\r\n        super.onDeviceSelected(macAddress);\r\n        //this is called when a device is selected from the scan activity. By default,\r\n        //the selected device will be connected to. If you don't want this, delete the super call.\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void onBluetoothDataReceived(byte[] bytes, String data) {\r\n       //called when data is received from the device. \r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void onDeviceConnected(BluetoothDevice device) {\r\n\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void onDeviceDisconnected(BluetoothDevice device) {\r\n\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void onDiscoveryStarted() {\r\n\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void onDiscoveryFinished() {\r\n\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n````\r\n\r\nAlternatively you can use the ````SimpleBluetooth```` class yourself:\r\n\r\n````java\r\n\r\npublic class MainActivity extends Activity {\r\n\r\n    private SimpleBluetooth simpleBluetooth;\r\n    private static final int SCAN_REQUEST = 119;\r\n    private static final int CHOOSE_SERVER_REQUEST = 120;\r\n    //...other code....//\r\n    private String curMacAddress;\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    protected void onResume() {\r\n        super.onResume();\r\n        simpleBluetooth = new SimpleBluetooth(this, new SimpleBluetoothListener() {\r\n\r\n            @Override\r\n            public void onBluetoothDataReceived(byte[] bytes, String data) {\r\n                //read the data coming in.\r\n            }\r\n\r\n            @Override\r\n            public void onDeviceConnected(BluetoothDevice device) {\r\n                //a device is connected so you can now send stuff to it\r\n                \r\n            }\r\n\r\n            @Override\r\n            public void onDeviceDisconnected(BluetoothDevice device) {\r\n                // device was disconnected so connect it again?\r\n               \r\n            }\r\n\r\n            @Override\r\n            public void onDiscoveryStarted() {\r\n\r\n            }\r\n\r\n            @Override\r\n            public void onDiscoveryFinished() {\r\n\r\n            }\r\n        });\r\n        simpleBluetooth.initializeSimpleBluetooth();\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {\r\n        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);\r\n        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);\r\n        //...other code...//\r\n    }\r\n\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {\r\n        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.\r\n        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);\r\n        return true;\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {\r\n        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will\r\n        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long\r\n        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.\r\n        int id = item.getItemId();\r\n        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {\r\n            return true;\r\n        } else if (id == R.id.scan) {\r\n            simpleBluetooth.scan(SCAN_REQUEST);\r\n            return true;\r\n        }\r\n        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {\r\n        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);\r\n        if(requestCode == SCAN_REQUEST || requestCode == CHOOSE_SERVER_REQUEST) {\r\n\r\n            if(resultCode == RESULT_OK) {\r\n\r\n                curMacAddress = data.getStringExtra(DeviceDialog.DEVICE_DIALOG_DEVICE_ADDRESS_EXTRA);\r\n                if(requestCode == SCAN_REQUEST) {\r\n                    simpleBluetooth.connectToBluetoothDevice(curMacAddress);\r\n                } else {\r\n                    simpleBluetooth.connectToBluetoothServer(curMacAddress);\r\n                }\r\n\r\n            }\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    protected void onDestroy() {\r\n        super.onDestroy();\r\n        simpleBluetooth.endSimpleBluetooth();\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n````\r\n\r\nFinally, the library allows for an alternative way to receive data. Say you're using an Arduino or something similar that is sending out a newline character at the end of every loop. You can read this data using a buffered input type through the following line:\r\n\r\n````java\r\nsimpleBluetooth.setInputStreamType(BluetoothUtility.InputStreamType.BUFFERED);\r\n````\r\n\r\nThis will case the input type to change and you should receieve the data line by line. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, this library allows for the creation and connection to a bluetooth server. Simply call:\r\n````java\r\nsimpleBluetooth.createBluetoothServerConnection();\r\n````\r\nand on the connecting device call:\r\n````java\r\n//curMacAddress is the address of the server device.\r\nsimpleBluetooth.connectToBluetoothServer(curMacAddress);\r\n````\r\nFinally, the library can handle A2DP protocols, although this has not yet been tested. \r\n\r\n<h2>Developed By</h2>\r\n**Paul T**\r\n\r\nCredit to **afollestad** for his material-dialog [library](https://github.com/afollestad/material-dialogs)\r\n\r\n<h2>License</h2>\r\n\r\nCopyright 2014 Paul T\r\n\r\nLicensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the \"License\"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.\r\n\r\nYou may obtain a copy of the License at\r\n\r\nhttp://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0\r\n\r\nUnless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software distributed under the License is distributed on an \"AS IS\" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.
