game design - Android multiplayer via bluetooth

How do I transfer game commands between 2 android devices via bluetooth first of all is possible to do this??If possible then someone please help in doing so.Thank u

Answer

This is definitely possible. You should look at the Android developer documentation for bluetooth (Ocelot has posted the link).

At the minimum you will have to do this -

1. Discover the devices



2. Pairing and connecting devices


3. One of the device needs to become server. It will open a socket and listen for connection.


4. Other device(s) need to become client. They will try to connect to server.


5. Once a connection is established, client and server can exchange strings of message. These strings can be your game commands.

From my own experience, I would say pay good attention to architecture design for exchanging commands. As it may soon become messy.
