Android: connect to devices via Bluetooth one by one

Question

I use a modification of Android BluetoothChat to connect to devices one by one:

try to connect to device
if connection was failed then connect to another device
if connected then try read data from device and then connect to another device etc.

But I get an exception Service discovery failed on Samsung Galaxy i-9000 (Android 2.3) on a line mmSocket.connect().

The problem is that when I'm using my application on HTC Desire (Android 2.2) it works fine.

But when I added Thread.sleep(...) before socket connection, socket connect always successfully on Samsung and HTC.

Is it problem with Android version or with the code?

Here is the code:

private class ConnectThread extends Thread {
private final BluetoothSocket mmSocket;
    private final BluetoothDevice mmDevice;
    private boolean mIsCanceled = false;

    public ConnectThread(BluetoothDevice device) {
        mmDevice = device;
        BluetoothSocket tmp = null;

        if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.d(TAG, "create mConnectThread " + mmDevice.getAddress());

        // Get a BluetoothSocket for a connection with the
        // given BluetoothDevice

        try
        {
            tmp = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(SerialPortServiceClass_UUID);
            if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.d(TAG, "create socket");
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.e(TAG, "create() failed", e);
        }

        mmSocket = tmp;
    }

    public void run() {
        if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.d(TAG, "run mConnectThread " + mmDevice.getAddress());

        // Always cancel discovery because it will slow down a connection
        mAdapter.cancelDiscovery();

        /*
        With this code commented "mmSocket.connect()" throws an exception
        Service discovery failed on Samsung Galaxy S
        try {
            Thread.sleep(5000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }*/

        if(mIsCanceled) return;

        // Make a connection to the BluetoothSocket
        try {
            // This is a blocking call and will only return on a
            // successful connection or an exception
            if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.d(TAG, "socket.connect() " + mmDevice.getAddress());
            mmSocket.connect();
        } catch (Exception e) {

            if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage() + " " + mmDevice.getAddress(), e);

            try {
                mmSocket.close();
                if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.d(TAG, "mConnectThread mmSocket.close() " + mmDevice.getAddress());
            } catch (IOException e1) {

                if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.e(TAG, "mConnectThread mmSocket.close() error" + mmDevice.getAddress());
                if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.e(TAG, e1.getMessage() + " " + mmDevice.getAddress(), e1);
            }

            connectionFailed(mmDevice.getAddress());

            return;
        }

        // Reset the ConnectThread because we're done
        synchronized (CBluetoothAdapter.this) {
            mConnectThread = null;
        }

        // Start the connected thread
        connected(mmSocket, mmDevice);
    }

    public void cancel() {
        try {
            mmSocket.close();
            if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.d(TAG, "mConnectThread socket close() " + mmDevice.getAddress());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            if(LOG_ENABLED) Log.e(TAG, "mConnectThread close() of connect socket failed " + mmDevice.getAddress(), e);
        }

        mIsCanceled = true;
    }
}

And this is from LogCat:

I changed my code. Now I use reflection on creating BluetoothSocket:

Method m;

m = device.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket", new Class[]{int.class});
tmp = (BluetoothSocket)m.invoke(device, 1);

And it works for me! Problem solved.
