Bluetooth-jx

This is a sample bluetooth chat project for Android + Xamarin, written in F#.

The purpose of the project is to evaluate and learn Xamarin, as well as evaluating F#'s suitability for writing general Android Xamarin/Android apps.

The app itself is basically a copy of the Android sample bluetooth application, rewritten in F# and with a slightly different UI.

Points to note

  • The app will search for paired devices and list them, it will not pair devices itself. (Uses the phone's bluetooth functionality to pre-pair devices).
  • The app simply allows two devices to send messages to each other and displays the chat history in a webview.
  • The app makes use of F#'s async functionality to wait for connections, attempt connections, keep connections alive.
  • The programming style is essentially imperative, with lots of mutable state.
