[Xastir] Xastir on Android

[Dr. Ulrich Stoehlker]

Please read this link related to bluetooth/udp

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1046669/bluetooth-protocol

Maybe this could help

There are apps to control bluetooth devices via udp (like the android app: "serial transfer")

I have not tried but would be interested in case of success
