This small project is what I was working on for quite some time, learning as I go. All of this is self-taught, with a bunch of help from Stack Overflow questions and from Android Developers Google Group.
It's a giant stepping stone for one of many upcoming projects. I now have a firm grasp of Bluetooth communications with more than 2 devices. This app does Bluetooth communications up to 5 devices. Currently, I do not have the expenses (nor equipments) to test my app for use with 5 devices, but theoretically, it can go up to 7. 7 is the maximum number of a Bluetooth piconet, if I recall. I can prove that 3 devices can communicate easily with each other, thus forming a closed triangle.
Anyone who wants to learn more about Bluetooth programming can go ahead and download my project, which is attached to this thread below. You may also go ahead and change a few things, fix a few issues, etc. If you want to try the app out, download the APK file attached and install it onto at least 2 Android devices.
