While the Google ADK was great for allowing the two devices to interact over a USB connection, we felt that the system would be far better if it allowed for wireless communications instead.
We added a Bluetooth Bee to Arduino setup and got busy writing an Android application that uses the handsets built in Bluetooth module to communicate using the ADK. The application configures your phone to act as either a client or server when pairing. This does not affect data flow, as communications are bi-directional, it merely decides which device is placed in discoverable mode.
once the phone and Arduino are connected, it is quite easy to send serial data back and forth between the two devices
As of right now, our Bluetooth API is in Beta. You can see the whole process below, and any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Communication between Android and Arduino with Bluetooth(1)
Communication between Android and Arduino with Bluetooth(2)
