Thanks for your replies. Looking at the rfcomm link above it looks like the easiest way to send data is by writing a byte array to an OutputStream on the RfcommSocket. So it looks like it will just be a case of forming an xml string from a query on my content provider, converting it into a byte array and sending it. Sounds easy!
