[android-developers] Re: Bluetooth issue

After thinking about it a bit, this makes somewhat better sense if I
understand Bluetooth correctly.

When the BluetoothDevice creates the socket, the client and server
need to communicate over it, and it alone. The other device needs to
have code to write out to that socket so I can see the data over the
BluetoothSocket.getInputStream() on the Android side of things.
