Bluetooth example with Kivy. A more fleshed-out example here: https://github.com/tito/android-demo. A more modern way of doing it: https://github.com/kivy/plyer. And this guy used Kivy to connect to an Arduino: https://github.com/brean/arduino-kivy-bluetooth. Native Kivy code (?): https://groups.google.com/d/msg/kivy-users/n_cMbFzf_1A/5edKgQgycx0J
# Same as before, with a kivy-based UI

Bluetooth/Pyjnius example
=========================
This was used to send some bytes to an arduino via bluetooth.
The app must have BLUETOOTH and BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permissions (well, i didn't
tested without BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, maybe it works.)
Connect your device to your phone, via the bluetooth menu. After the
pairing is done, you'll be able to use it in the app.

You need to change the socket to rfcomm
I used my laptop with regular bluetooth but for android you will need ble and different socket

Were you able to solve this error? I am stuck in the same situation with no avail.

Why am I getting jnius.jnius.JavaException: JVM exception occurred: read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1 java.io.IOException
