I understand how to get a list of paired devices but how can I tell if they are connected?
It must be possible since I see them listed in my phone\'s Bluetooth device list and it states their connection status.

Use intent filters to listen to the ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED, ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED, and ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED broadcasts:
public void onCreate() {
...
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED);
filter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED);
filter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
}
//The BroadcastReceiver that listens for bluetooth broadcasts
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
... //Device found
}
else if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED.equals(action)) {
... //Device is now connected
}
else if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.equals(action)) {
... //Done searching
}
else if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED.equals(action)) {
... //Device is about to disconnect
}
else if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED.equals(action)) {
... //Device has disconnected
}
}
};
A few notes:
In my use case I only wanted to see if a Bluetooth headset is connected for a VoIP app. The following solution worked for me:
public static boolean isBluetoothHeadsetConnected() {
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
return mBluetoothAdapter != null && mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()
&& mBluetoothAdapter.getProfileConnectionState(BluetoothHeadset.HEADSET) == BluetoothHeadset.STATE_CONNECTED;
}
Of course you\'ll need the Bluetooth permission:
<uses-permission android:name=\"android.permission.BLUETOOTH\" />
Big thanks to Skylarsutton for his answer. I\'m posting this as a response to his, but because I\'m posting code I can\'t reply as a comment. I already upvoted his answer so am not looking for any points. Just paying it forward.
For some reason BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED could not be resolved by Android Studio. Perhaps it was deprecated in Android 4.2.2? Here is a modification of his code. The registration code is the same; the receiver code differs slightly. I use this in a service which updates a Bluetooth-connected flag that other parts of the app reference.
public void onCreate() {
//...
IntentFilter filter1 = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED);
IntentFilter filter2 = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED);
IntentFilter filter3 = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter1);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter2);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter3);
}
//The BroadcastReceiver that listens for bluetooth broadcasts
private final BroadcastReceiver BTReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED.equals(action)) {
//Do something if connected
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), \"BT Connected\", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED.equals(action)) {
//Do something if disconnected
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), \"BT Disconnected\", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
//else if...
}
};
BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().isEnabled
->
returns true when bluetooth is open
val audioManager = this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE)
as
AudioManager
audioManager.isBluetoothScoOn
->
returns true when device connected
This code is for the headset profiles, probably it will work for other profiles too. First you need to provide profile listener (Kotlin code):
private val mProfileListener = object : BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener {
override fun onServiceConnected(profile: Int, proxy: BluetoothProfile) {
if (profile == BluetoothProfile.HEADSET)
mBluetoothHeadset = proxy as BluetoothHeadset
}
override fun onServiceDisconnected(profile: Int) {
if (profile == BluetoothProfile.HEADSET) {
mBluetoothHeadset = null
}
}
}
Then while checking bluetooth:
mBluetoothAdapter.getProfileProxy(context, mProfileListener, BluetoothProfile.HEADSET)
if (!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled) {
return Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE)
}
It takes a bit of time until onSeviceConnected is called. After that you may get the list of the connected headset devices from:
mBluetoothHeadset!!.connectedDevices
