I want to get list of bluetooth connected devices...not just paired devices.
I found BluetoothHeadset
API in API level 11 which provides method getConnectedDevices()
to get list of connected bluetooth devices.
How to get list of bluetooth connected devices using this API ?
Finally got the solution. Below are a few code snippets for getting Bluetooth audio connected devices using BluetoothHeadset
API.
BluetoothHeadset mBluetoothHeadset;
// Get the default adapter
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
// Establish connection to the proxy.
mBluetoothAdapter.getProfileProxy(context, mProfileListener, BluetoothProfile.HEADSET);
// Define Service Listener of BluetoothProfile
private BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener mProfileListener = new BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener() {
public void onServiceConnected(int profile, BluetoothProfile proxy) {
if (profile == BluetoothProfile.HEADSET) {
mBluetoothHeadset = (BluetoothHeadset) proxy;
}
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(int profile) {
if (profile == BluetoothProfile.HEADSET) {
mBluetoothHeadset = null;
}
}
};
// call functions on mBluetoothHeadset to check if Bluetooth SCO audio is connected.
List<BluetoothDevice> devices = mBluetoothHeadset.getConnectedDevices();
for ( final BluetoothDevice dev : devices ) {
return mBluetoothHeadset.isAudioConnected(dev);
}
// finally Close proxy connection after use.
mBluetoothAdapter.closeProfileProxy(BluetoothProfile.HEADSET, mBluetoothHeadset);
First of all you need to define Permission in Androindmanifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
Search Connected Devices Activity,
private static BluetoothAdapter mBtAdapter;
private final static int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 1;
// Register for broadcasts when a device is discovered
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
// Register for broadcasts when discovery has finished
filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
filter = new IntentFilter( BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_STARTED );
this.registerReceiver( mReceiver, filter );
BroadCastReceiver Class
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
try
{
String action = intent.getAction();
// When discovery finds a device
if ( BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action) )
{
// Get the BluetoothDevice object from the Intent
BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
}
}
catch ( Exception e )
{
logger.info( DateFormat.format( ConstantCodes.dateFormat ,new java.util.Date()).toString(),"Broadcast Error : " + e.toString(), ConstantCodes.SEARCH_ACTIVITY );
System.out.println ( "Broadcast Error : " + e.toString() );
}
}
};
