Hi! I am beginner in Android programming. I would like to learn how to send a string between 2 devices via Bluetooth. I was trying to write a code on the base of Android developers page, Bluetooth section.

I got 3 errors. The first one is, that the MainActivity is underlined red in the following row:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

It says: 'The blank final field mHandler may not have been initialized'

The other 2 errors are shown in the AcceptThread and ConnectThread classes. The following row is underlined red:

manageConnectedSocket(socket);

It says: 'The method manageConnectedSocket(BluetoothSocket) is undefined for the type AcceptThread' and 'The method manageConnectedSocket(BluetoothSocket) is undefined for the type ConnectThread'

Could you please tell me, how to fix the problems and explain me, what were the problems? Thanks in advance.
