For the programming for my android smart phone, I've tried using few ways to establish the bluetooth connection between Arduino and my smart phone. I've tried to use few library to do the programming part, like sweetbt and btserial library, but these two libraries don’t function well as
my smart phone could not successfully connect to the device via Bluetooth. The btserial library can be download at this website but the .jar file is seem to be missing and waiting for rebuild.
So
I tried to change to eclipse, although I manage to download the application
into my smart phone(sony Xperia X10i), but the coding for eclipse is much more harder compared
to processing as I totally don’t have the basic for android programming it
will be very hard for me to use the eclipse. So I try to find another
alternative way to do the android programming. But lastly, I managed to find a
library named Ketai, for processing, which works perfectly to communicate with
the Arduino Bluetooth shield via Bluetooth, and the coding is much easier than
eclipse.
You can download the Ketai library from this website and place it in your sketch "library" file : https://code.google.com/p/ketai/downloads/list
Before download the codes into your android smartphone via processing, pls do enable the sketch permission of BLUETOOTH and BLUETOOTH ADMIN via the "Android" tab. If you forgot to tick this 2 things, the apps downloaded into your smart phone cannot be launched.

I've edited the code base on this original codes, and it is very helpful for me:)
Below will be the final coding of the android
processing code with implemented Ketai library function:

ArrayList devicesDiscovered = new ArrayList();
//store in array the discovered device
boolean rectOver = false;
int rec = 0;
// The following code is required to enable
bluetooth at startup.
void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
bt = new KetaiBluetooth(this);//create the BtSerial

resultCode, Intent data)

}
