Hi
Hello Chris
I am sorry about my bad english.
Really I want to send a character.
My app have few buttons. Once the button
is pressed.the character that assigned to the block of the button to be sent out via Bluetooth. But during the button unprepared need to send a character until next button is pressed and so on
Hope your solution will be working. So I will let you know once I done it
Thanks once again
That was not bad English at all - just my tired brain thinking the wrong thing 
Yes of course
I tried it But something wrong in my end please any advice
This is the block that i entered
Here is a template project that you can either change to suit your project or just take useful Blocks from it via the BackPack:
BT_Basic_Setup_Send.aia (8.5 KB)
Note that it uses a ListView instead of a ListPicker - does not matter which you use, chose the one that suits your GUI design best.
This code is working after your advice but I am following the code template that you provided to further improvement of my blocks
Above is the blocs that still I am using . Now my main issue is solved , The sub issue is When I press and hold the button ,Only single time a character sent out
But I would need help The character to sent out continuously until,the button is released
You need a global variable, call it COMMAND, to hold the B or whatever you want to send.
Send the value of the COMMAND variable.
Change the value of the COMMAND value in your button Click events, depending on the button.
... you can use the same method with a Clock Timer. Press and hold the button, enabling the Clock Timer, stop on button release, disabling the Clock Timer, like this:

Hello Chris
Wow now it is working fine
Still slim issue is there, When I working with app withing two minutes it struck , and some time app closed. I am using apk, Both timers time interval is 10
I attached the image and aia files
Please see the blockD_Cube_Robot_copy (3).aia (544.6 KB)
Please help
Hi Dayan
First thing of note - all your images need to be optimised for Android!
See my website:
https://www.professorcad.co.uk/appinventortips#TipsImages
Dayan - is this Robot an off-the-shelf ready made kit thing? I assume there is a Script to drive the Robot's microprocessor and motors (stepper motors?). It is important that the hardware has everything correct too. For example, the right amount of consistent power, an efficient way to dissipate heat. In the case of stepper motors, the right type of electronic signal (PWM - Pulse Width Modulation).
It is difficult to follow your code because you have not named your components. See here for advice:
https://www.professorcad.co.uk/appinventortips#TipsGui
Another potential cause of "lock up" is buffer overflow on the hardware side. Sending every 10 milliseconds is quite fast. You could experiment with a higher (longer interval) value, say 50 milliseconds, and see how that goes.
Maybe you could show the code on your robot side. As far as I can see, your blocks are overly complicated. The robots I programmed, I only sent a character to the robot when the user pressed a button. The robot would just continue to go in that direction, until the user pressed a button again.
Much easier, and much less chance to choke your robot.
Hello Chris,
First of all let me thank you for grade advise;
We create this App for following robot arm
http://dcube.lk/d_cube_stem_gripper/
We use following motor driver shield to drive Servo Motors
http://dcube.lk/D_Cube_STEM_Motor_Driver/
Base on your advise I change all the image to 96 x96 pix and background picture set to 512 x 512 pix ( Please advice best pixel size for background image )
I increased the timer interval to 50
Now it has big improvement . Very rarely it getting stuck .
Since we are using Arduino Uno ,So now we need to improve program side to overcome buffer overflow with Atmega328p microcontroller
I will update once I complete your all advise
Hi
It's not necessary to make all the images so small (96 x 96 is for the App Icon), but to make them just the right size or very slightly oversize. Since your images are not photographs, they can be reduced to 16 bit Colour. It is important not to apply compression. With such a busy GUI, my view is that a background image is not necessary - a plain colour background (via the Properties palette) would be best.
I'm happy to take a look at your .ino Arduino file if you wish. To post it here, change the extension from .ini to .txt.
The dcube robot arm looks fantastic! Quite a challenging assembly. I notice there is no active cooling for the processor and motors, you may need to add a small computer fan..... Also, the wires from the motors could be shielded with braided sleeving to prevent interference of the signal wires and Bluetooth radio.
By the way, it's always a good idea to define your Clock Timers in the Blocks:
