I am making a project where a led is being faded. The faded value and the time is given as user input by android. But when I'm sending the value of brightness/fade value, it's also becoming the value of time/delay time. How to resolve this? The values are overlapping.
use a delimiter between two value and use Serial.readBytesUntil() or Serial.readStringUntil()
What is delimiter? I have another question. When android is sending values is it in bytes or string? When I wrote the quote it was like // buetoothsocket.getoutputstream.write("TO".toString().getBytes()) // so is it string or byte or both? And in arduino what's it reading? byte or string?
A delimiter is a character decided by yourself to distinguish between command or frame

My suggestion would be to get your project working with a bluetooth Serial terminal app like Kai Morich's before working out custom Android code.
It's more simple to send and receive text.
