platform has injected new vitality to the mobile space. Android could be an open sourcing mobile operating device based on
Linux which is an absolutely open and integrated platform for mobile devices. Android platform consists of the running system,
middleware and computer program and software. Chatting purposes are very an awful lot hip nowadays. Whatsapp, we chat,
hangouts, and then forth are a rage within the app world. But of these messenger functions cash in of both cell information
which could be a paid carrier or Wi-Fi which isn't continually reachable and when handy the connection strength fluctuates
from place to position. Bluetooth is a vital characteristic of the smart phone, which is built-in into the Android platform,
because the Android mobile network conversation module. The Android gadget presents many Bluetooth APIs for developers
to call. The rationale of the chat room which based totally definitely the Bluetooth of android is being an element of telephones
into a close-by area network, and then we will speak with each and each different besides any cost. This paper raise out a
conversation device with the useful resource of the API of the Bluetooth on the android platform. Through the Bluetooth
module, android telephones are often divided into customer and server so the real-time chat between buddies’ strangers may be
accomplished.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

The Bluetooth technology is an extensive spread science due to the fact it was first invented through Ericson’s .Which used to
be a main cellular cell phone producer now named Sony Ericson Dutch- born, senior scientist JaapHaartsen and air interface
specialist Sven Mattes lower back at 1994. In March 2001 Bluetooth used to be first brought. Now days it is tough to discover
a device with no Bluetooth transceiver. The identify “Bluetooth” and its brand are trademarked by way of the privately held
trade affiliation named the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). The title Bluetooth used to be a code identify used through
builders of this Wi-Fi technology. But as the time past identify Bluetooth Stuck.
The authentic records of Android begins when Google has had purchased and Android inc. in 2005. But the improvement did
not begin immediately. The true development on android platform starts when 2007 Open Handsets Alliance has announced
the Android as Open Source platform and yr later the Android SDK 1.0. In the identical 2008 the G1 Smartphone was
produced via HTC and used to be retailed inside the T-Mobile carrier. In the next two years came out 4 variations of Android.
In 2010 there had been at least 60 units jogging android and it becomes 2nd after Blackberry the excellent spread mobile
platform. (Gargenta 2011, 3- 6). And consequently growing the research and sketch of chatting utility based totally on android
Bluetooth.

Android Architecture
Android architecture incorporates specific range of aspects to support any android machine needs. Android software carries
an open-source Linux Kernel having series of variety of C/C++ libraries which are exposed via an application framework
services. Among all the elements Linux Kernel offers predominant functionality of operating machine features to Smartphone
and Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) provide platform for walking an android application. Applications are the pinnacle layer
of android architecture. It runs within the Android run time with the help of the training and offerings supplied by way of the
application framework. Application Framework affords various essential training which is used to create an Android
application. Android Runtime surroundings are one of the most important phases of Android. It includes factors like core
libraries and the Dalvik digital machine (DVM). Mainly, it gives the base for the software framework and powers our
application with the assist of the core libraries.

Android Libraries
This category encompasses these Java-based libraries that are unique to Android development. Examples of libraries in this
category include the software framework libraries in addition to those that facilitate consumer interface building, images
drawing and database access. A summary of some key core Android libraries reachable to the Android developer is as
follows –
 android.app − Provides get right of entry to the utility mannequin and is the cornerstone of all Android
applications.
 android.os − Provides functions with access to fashionable operating system offerings together with messages,
system offerings and inter-process communication.
 android.text − Used to render and manipulate text on a machine display.
 android.view − The essential constructing blocks of software person interfaces.
 android.widget − A prosperous series of pre-built user interface factors such as buttons, labels, listing views,
sketch managers, radio buttons etc.
 android.webkit − A set of instructions meant to enable web-browsing capabilities to be constructed into
applications.

Bluetooth may be a Wi-Fi technology well known for exchanging data over brief distances. This low price transmission
technological know-how for the hand held units and variety digital products. A number of these protocols would be employed
in the Blue Chat application. Bluetooth has the capacity to figure in network or communications both as half-duplex (in one
route at a time) with transmitting rate up to 721 kilobits per second (Kbps) in one course and 57.6 Kbps within the different
and If the employment involves the identical pace in each directions, Bluetooth can founded a hyperlink with 432.6-Kbps in
each route or full-duplex (in both directions concurrently) with facts fee extra than sixty four kilobits per 2nd (Kbps) as
discussed by way of Curt Franklin and Julia Layton [13]. Besides, it's rare currently to find a machine with no Bluetooth
adapter in it.

Connect as a server
When you desire to join two devices, one need to act as a server by means of conserving an open BluetoothServerSocket. The
cause of the server socket is to hear for incoming connection requests and provide a related BluetoothSocket after a request is
accepted. When the BluetoothSocket is received from the BluetoothServerSocket, the BluetoothServerSocket can—and
should—be discarded, except you prefer the machine to be given greater connections.

To set up a server socket and receive a connection, entire the following sequence of steps:
1. Get a BluetoothServerSocket via calling listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord().
2. Start listening for connection request by means of calling accept().
3. Unless you favour to accept additional connections, name close().

Connect as a client
In order to provoke a connection with a remote gadget that is accepting connections on an open server socket, you must first
gain a BluetoothDevice object that represents the remote device. To study how to create a BluetoothDevice, see Finding
Devices. You should then use the BluetoothDevice to accumulate a BluetoothSocket and initiate the connection.

The primary method is as follows:
