Book Description

0123743427 978-0123743428 February 28, 2008 1
Adoption of Bluetooth wireless technology has become ubiquitous in the last few years. One of the biggest steps forward is the standardization of Java APIs for Bluetooth wireless technology (JABWT). The latest updates to this standard is explained in detail in this book. The JABWT standard, defined by the JSR-82 Java Specification Request, supports rapid development of Bluetooth applications that are portable, secure, and highly-usable. Wireless device manufacturers have responded overwhelmingly to the JABWT specification by implementing JABWT applications in mobile phones and other personal wireless communications products.

"Bluetooth Application Programming Essentials: Programming with the Java APIs" explains in detail how to write Bluetooth applications using the Java APIs to exploit the power of both technologies. Written by the specification lead for JSR-82 and two other key participants in developing the standards of JABWT, this book provides the authoritative explanations and concrete examples needed to get started right away.

This book provides embedded Java developers with to-the-point information on the APIs in the specification with detailed programmatic examples of the APIs in use. A NEW chapter on the Push Registry definition (a new feature in the 1.1 version of JSR-82) has been added. Finally, the new Essentials version of the book will update the remaining chapters to reflect changes in the latest Bluetooth spec (2.1) and the industry as a whole.

As a bonus, this edition of the book offers over 200 pages of added content on the website. This "bonus material" includes complete source code from examples in the book, the javex.bluetooth code package, the java.obex code package, an enhanced set of "Example Applications", and a tutorial on "Implementing JABWT on a Device." These code-heavy sections are actually more effective in electonic format where the application can be easily downloaded.


KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

* By focusing only on the essentials, this concise resource enables software and hardware vendors to quickly develop Bluetooth applications for mobile devices in an increasingly competitive market.

* The updated material examines crucial programming areas (including RFCOMM, OBEX, device discovery, service discovery, and L2CAP), which allows developers to not only successfully design, but master and build Java APIs for Bluetooth Wireless Technology.

* Includes a new and valuable chapter that delineates the pivotal Push Registry feature ? a recent development that will help programmers avoid the common problem of connection collision.

* By providing real-world issues and problems involved in implementing the Java APIs specification, the book allows developers to identify with the text and encourages repeated reference.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Mobile phones with Bluetooth and Java have become more prevalent since the year 2003. Platforms like Symbian have matured and now include JSR-82 stack. In the light of this trend, this book can address the need for 3rd party software vendors to quickly develop Bluetooth applications for the mobile devices. Compared to the earlier comprehensive and somewhat unwieldy edition, this new edition can cut down the extra stuff and focus on essentials. A companion website can list the source code and additional resources." -- Girish Managoli, Mindtree.com/Consultant

4.0 out of 5 stars Actually a 2nd edition of this book, March 8, 2008
This review is from: Bluetooth Application Programming with the Java APIs Essentials Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) (Paperback)
Although it doesn't say so on the cover, this is actually a second edition of a book by the same name and the same authors. The first edition was good, but this technology moves quickly and a new edition was needed. There is plenty of practical instruction and lots of helpful figures in the book which, quite honesty, is often lacking in books published by Morgan Kaufmann - they tend to be a bit on the academic side. Plus the book has a website where there is plenty of additional code plus the javex.bluetooth and java.obex packages available for download. Also note that the old edition of the book has about two hundred more pages than this new edition. That's because much of what was previously in the book has been moved to the website, primarily code. The following is the table of contents for the new edition:

Ch 1: Introduction
Ch 2: An Overview of JABWT
Ch 3: High Level Architecture
Ch 4: RFCOMM
Ch 5: OBEX
Ch 6: Device Discovery
Ch 7: Service Discovery
Ch 8: L2CAP
Ch 9: Bluetooth and the Push Registry

Just because some of the chapter titles are the same doesn't mean the content is the same. Everything has been updated and so far it looks like a worthwhile purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book with details!, February 25, 2009
This review is from: Bluetooth Application Programming with the Java APIs Essentials Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) (Paperback)
The book presents a detailed and insightful look into programming Bluetooth applications in JavaME, with lots of programming examples. I teach a course on mobile and pervasive computing, and this book has been certainly helpful. I have been waiting for such a book - each layer of the protocol stack is considered, and how to program at different layers of the protocol stack is described.

5.0 out of 5 stars The blue tooth, May 29, 2011
This review is from: Bluetooth Application Programming with the Java APIs Essentials Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) (Paperback)
This book is very good. If you are a noob, like me, in Bluetooth programming this book is for you. The authors explains very clearly all the basic concepts of the Bluetooth API. More important for me is that they provide code that run as is, which is more that I can say about other books or about articles I found on internet. With this code I could construct the application I needed.

My only gripe is that the advertised companion site does not have the source code available.

---

Edit: the source code is available online in the companion site of the *other* edition.
