HC-05 module with flutter gives connect_error, read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1

[sanmitha03]

I'm using flutter for my mobile application. I want to connect my mobile app with Arduino using HC-05 module.

My flutter code (a small piece of code out of a big code):

class HomeLayout extends StatefulWidget {
  const HomeLayout({super.key});
  @override
  State<HomeLayout> createState() => _HomeLayout();
}

class _HomeLayout extends State<HomeLayout> {
void _scanDevices() async {
    List<BluetoothDevice> devices = <BluetoothDevice>[];
    print('scan started');
    try {
      devices = await FlutterBluetoothSerial.instance.getBondedDevices();
    } catch (ex) {
      print("Error: $ex");
    }
    print('scan ended');
    print(devices);
    for (BluetoothDevice device in devices) {
      print(device.address); // This will print the MAC address of each bonded device
    }
  }


  Future<bool> _connectToBluetooth() async {
    //_scanDevices();
    print('\n\nConnecting to the device');
    String address='my hc05 mac address';
    try {
        connection = await BluetoothConnection.toAddress(address);
      } catch(ex){
        print("Error : $ex");
        return false;
      }
    print('Connected to the device');
    return true;
    //receiveData();
  }

  void receiveData() async{
    bool check = await _connectToBluetooth();
    print("\n\nReceiving Data");
    if(check) {
      List<int> _dataBuffer = <int>[];
      connection!.input!.listen((Uint8List data) {
        setState(() {
          _dataBuffer.addAll(data);
          print("Data : " + data.toString());
        });
      });
    }
    print("Received Data");
  }

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    receiveData();
... 
}
}

My arduino code:

SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11);

void setup(){
mySerial.begin(38400);
}

void loop(){
  int sound_sensor = analogRead(A1);
  light_sensor = analogRead(A0);
  mySerial.write("light sensor : ");
  mySerial.write(light_sensor);
  mySerial.write("sound sensor : ");
  mySerial.write(sound_sensor);
}

When I run my flutter code, it asks for Location (as to scan the available bluetooth devices).

My HC-05 module blinks as usual when i power my arduino and HC-05 (in red and blue colour). Then after 2/3 seconds, blue light disappears. then after a while, both the lights are on (doesn't blink).

And my flutter code returns an error:

 PlatformException(connect_error, read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1, java.io.IOException: read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1

Kindly help me to figure out why this error occurs and a way to get rid of it.
