Android bluetooth remote control guidance for a project

I'm in a dire need for some guidance on how to build an android bluetooth remote control.

I understand that two things would be needed. A server that will take request from the android device via bluetooth and the android device acting as a client.

I found this and i think it would help to a certain extent. http://luugiathuy.com/2011/02/android-java-bluetooth/

All i want is some guidance as to what i should start studying and how do i successfully build this thing in about two weeks. I'm not all that strong in Java. So you can provide me links and advices as to how i should start with it. Help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Additional details: The remote control would be used for things like controlling vlc player, shutting down,restarting, controlling slides,etc.

Because of the lack of dedicated cohesive standards between manufacturers Bluetooth device stacks, I'd recommend you start small and pick a specific device and action you wish to preform.

I'd start by attempting setup a Bluetooth server on a windows device and trying to get the server to receive a simple message (if that is the way you are going).

If you decide to go a different route and are thinking linux then take a look at bluesZ which is the official Linux Bluetooth protocol stack.

If you think of doing something a bit more towards the deep end of the pool then check out the Ubertooth or the Video Primer and library for android usage

it's dangerous to go alone take this.... Set of resources to help you get started
