main window After startup of Android client You will see this picture on phone's screen. If You start Android client for the first time then list of connections will be empty. Run "Search" to find anyRemote on PC (You have to start it before and enable page and inquiry scans on PC's bluetooth adapter of course).

If search is unsuccessful be double sure that page and inquiry scans are enabled on bluetooth adapter. This can be done by command:

hciconfig hci0 piscan


You can enter address to connect directly. If You plan to connect to anyRemote through internet or Wi-Fi enter something like socket://192.168.1.2:5000 (be sure You have started anyRemote with -s socket:5000 option). If You plan to connect to anyRemote through bluetooth enter something like btspp://0008F4163049:19, where 0008F4163049 is bluetooth address of PC. To determine it use hcitool dev command.

Connect to anyRemote

Select item from list of connections and then choose Connect menu item (see picture above). After one or two seconds You will see main screen of java client.

If You want java client to connect to an device automatically upon startup, then choose AutoConnect menu item (see picture above).

Look and behaviour of java client is determined by configuration file, which used by anyRemote and may vary significantly. The following screenshots are just example of how it could look like.
