I need to get a list of available bluetooth devices in the area using google android 2.1.
Thing is, i don't just need a list of those devices, i need some unique id for each device found and i need an indicator, how "good" the signal is received (like the "level" in android.wifi.ScanResult)... How do i do that?
Check out code below :
Starting search
mBluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();
mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
//Finding devices
if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action))
{
// Get the BluetoothDevice object from the Intent
BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
// Add the name and address to an array adapter to show in a ListView
mArrayAdapter.add(device.getName() + "\n" + device.getAddress());
}
}
};
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
Call method bluetoothScanning, context is required
void bluetoothScanning(){
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
context.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
final BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
mBluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();
}
// Create a BroadcastReceiver for ACTION_FOUND.
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
// Discovery has found a device. Get the BluetoothDevice
// object and its info from the Intent.
BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
String deviceName = device.getName();
String deviceHardwareAddress = device.getAddress(); // MAC address
Log.i("Device Name: " , "device " + deviceName);
Log.i("deviceHardwareAddress " , "hard" + deviceHardwareAddress);
}
}
};
Result
Name: LE-Bose Revolve+ SoundLink
deviceHardwareAddress: MAC 04:52:C7:D1:B2:76
