Class BluetoothAdapter

java.lang.Object

ej.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter

public class BluetoothAdapter
extends Object

The BluetoothAdapter class represents a Bluetooth adapter.

The adapter of the system may be retrieved by calling getAdapter(). The GAP events related to the adapter may be handled by setting the connection listener of the adapter. The adapter can be enabled or disabled.

A Bluetooth adapter is able to scan nearby devices and to initiate a connection with a device. It is also able to send advertisements to nearby devices. GATT services may be added to the adapter so that they can be used by connected devices. This class also provides a method to retrieve the list of active connections.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
BluetoothService	addService(BluetoothServiceDefinition serviceDefinition) Adds the given service to this adapter.
boolean	connect(BluetoothAddress address) Initiates a connection to the device with the given address.
void	disable() Disables this adapter.
boolean	enable() Enables this adapter.
static BluetoothAdapter	getAdapter() Returns the adapter of the system.
void	setConnectionListener(ConnectionListener connectionListener) Sets the listener which will receive the GAP events related to this adapter.
boolean	startAdvertising(byte[] advertisementData) Starts advertising.
boolean	startScanning(BluetoothScanFilter scanFilter) Starts scanning.
boolean	stopAdvertising() Stops advertising.
boolean	stopScanning() Stops scanning.

Method Detail

addService

@Nullable
public BluetoothService addService(BluetoothServiceDefinition serviceDefinition)

Adds the given service to this adapter.

Parameters:

serviceDefinition - the definition of the service to add.

Returns:

the service instance, or null if the service could not be added.

connect

public boolean connect(BluetoothAddress address)

Initiates a connection to the device with the given address.

Parameters:

address - the address of the device to connect to.

Returns:

true if connection was initiated successfully, false otherwise.

See Also:

ConnectionListener.onConnectFailed(BluetoothAddress), ConnectionListener.onConnected(BluetoothConnection)

disable

public void disable()

Disables this adapter. This method frees up all resources allocated by this adapter, including all the services added using addService().

If this adapter is already disabled, calling this method has no effect.

enable

public boolean enable()

Enables this adapter.

If this adapter is already enabled, this method returns true immediately.

Returns:

true if this adapter was enabled successfully, false otherwise.

getAdapter

public static BluetoothAdapter getAdapter()

Returns the adapter of the system. The adapter has to be enabled before being used.

Returns:

the adapter of the system.

setConnectionListener

public void setConnectionListener(ConnectionListener connectionListener)

Sets the listener which will receive the GAP events related to this adapter.

Only one listener may be set at the same time. If the connection listener has not been set, the DefaultConnectionListener will be used to handle the events.

Parameters:

connectionListener - the object which will receive the events.

startAdvertising

public boolean startAdvertising(byte[] advertisementData)

Starts advertising. If a device connects while advertising, the advertisement is stopped. It may be started again once the connection is established.

Parameters:

advertisementData - the advertisement data.

Returns:

true if advertising was started successfully, false otherwise.

See Also:

ConnectionListener.onAdvertisementCompleted(), ConnectionListener.onConnected(BluetoothConnection)

startScanning

public boolean startScanning(BluetoothScanFilter scanFilter)

Starts scanning. If a connection is initiated while scanning, the scan is stopped. It may be started again once the connection is established. The given scan filter is applied to keep or discard scan results.

Parameters:

scanFilter - the scan filter.

Returns:

true if scanning was started successfully, false otherwise.

See Also:

ConnectionListener.onScanResult(BluetoothAddress, byte[], int), ConnectionListener.onScanCompleted()

stopAdvertising

public boolean stopAdvertising()

Stops advertising.

Returns:

true if advertising was stopped successfully, false otherwise.

See Also:

ConnectionListener.onAdvertisementCompleted()

stopScanning

public boolean stopScanning()

Stops scanning.

Returns:

true if scanning was stopped successfully, false otherwise.

ConnectionListener.onScanCompleted()
