Transferring Files through Bluetooth?

[sunil_bhambani123]

Hi,

Can someone guide for transferring files mainly images and jar through bluetooth. I think one may have to use javax.obex. I know basic bluetooth programming using JSR 82.

Any sort of help would be appreciated.

Does this help?

Does this help?

I used the following code but it is giving exception when we start searching for service. I hope some one will reply as early as possible. I am giving the Underline and bold effect on the line which used to execute before exception.

I copied that code into NetBeans, built and compiled it then sent the jar to my phone (through windows)
The start of it works fine but it tries to send a file to any phone within the Bluetooth range.
But it does not send the file, the application closes and cancels the file transfer.
I changed the location of the picture to suit my phone also, on my other phone it confirms this when it displays
"do you want to accept this file... a.gif"
but when i choose yes on the other phone the BluetoothBrowser closes.
