Sending Message from PC through mobile using AT Commands over Bluetooth

AT Commands:
              AT or attention are set of commands those are used to communicate with GSM modems.I am not going much about it as you can google it.I tried using the AT commands through Bluetooth  which was successful and finally integrated it to JAVA so that I can send message through my mobile using an interface instead of hyper-terminal.Before getting it started check your mobile if it supports the commands or not by using Hyper-terminal or any serial port Software.


               In the below codes i have used RxTx serial communication library that is free to use and my communication port was 'COM9' please check it for you and then changing it compile the code.

Storing configuration data for JAVA applications

       Many times it is required to store some configuration settings for your application so that it can use again and again from where it left.Or the application can start with some specific parameters.So the properties file can come handy in such requirements.

   First lets write something to the properties file..

Code:

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.Properties;

public class App {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    Properties prop = new Properties();
    OutputStream output = null;

    try {

        output = new FileOutputStream("C:\\Alberto\\Config\\debug.properties");
        prop.setProperty("stat","no");
        prop.setProperty("mail", "oksbwn@gmail.com");

Controlling VLC media player using JAVA

         Basically i was looking for a method to communicate with the VLC media player so that i can get the currently playing video on the player and my app can search the internet and get the details about the movie.For that i googled a lot and finally came to know that VLC has a web interface and i used that with my JAVA app to control and getting details of the movie.
