Working

• This app utilizes 2 Activities. One is for Device Control and Other for device pairing Stuff.
• This application makes use of:
  • Service Class: Bt_Connection which is used to Pair to device and sending Data over Bluetooth.
  • Data to Arduino based Device is sent in strings over Bluetooth.
  • A Database HomeAutomation.db is created upon Install. This Database contains two Tables Room and Address.
    • Room Table Stores Room Names which are shown in Main Activity.
    • Address Table Stores paired device address and its name. Address table is used to store previous connection Data. A prompt for connecting to last device connected with app Automatically will be shown after restarting app.
    • Address Table gets deleted after new data being entered.
  • A custom ListAdapter is used to display Room name Stored in Database on Main Activity.
• As of Build_v3 All rooms send same commands in Device Control Fragment. I'll be fixing that in Future.
• Single Press on button in Device Control Fragment will send turn on command to Arduino. A long press will send turn off command to Arduino.
• As of Build_v5 Shared Prefs files are introduced so as to carry Button name and Room name.
