Bluetooth GPS with J2ME

I’ve been working hard to move my BlueGPS application to J2ME. This will enable the application to run on millions of more devices than it’s current Symbian implementation. The key will be getting past the technical hurdle that I’m currently faced with. I’m having problems with programmatically retrieving the device address of my Bluetooth receiver. Whenever I make the appropriate API call it continues to return null. I’ve read that some people have hardcoded the device address to get it to connect properly. In my opinion this doesn’t scale so I’m looking to get device discovery working.

If worse comes to worse I’ll have some sort of object that stores common Bluetooth device addresses. This will be something that needs to be updated continuously, but it will be much easier to maintain if the codebase in written in Java. This is just my personal preference here. I’m optimistic that I’ll get the device discovery working in my spare time over the next week. Once I do this will be worked into photo uploading where you can upload a photo and GPS location to be displayed on a Google map. It should be pretty tight and I’m excited about the potential it has. Stay tuned!
