I am working with a bluetooth device (the IOIO developer board).
I want to listen, when my device is disconnected. It is working ok with the code above, but it is not recognized instantaneously. When I power off my bluetooth developer board, I have to wait ~16s until my Android recognized that the connection was lost.
Does anybody know why? I heard it should be a internal Android limitation, that the connection is not checked so often?
Does anybody know how to write a thread which "pings" the bluetooth device if it is still there? I think it is very similar to the Android BluetoothChat example, but I couldn't fixed it on my own.
Thanks.

I'm trying to check if my BluetoothDevice is connected to something.
If it is connected, obtain the data of the other device
I want to implement this function to my application since I need to monitor if the connection was lost or is still connected and add a visual indicator in case the connection changes.
Tried with this function but the toast shows nearby devices (not connected) constantly:
if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED.equals(action)) {
BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
String name = device.getName();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),name,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
AFAIK there is no way to view the state of the connection. Instead you monitor for changes in the state of the bluetooth connection. So you can register a receiver and then receive a broadcast when the device is disconnected.
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED);
this.registerReceiver(rec, filter);
private BroadcastReceiver rec = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_DISCONNECTED.equals(action)) {
// Bluetooth is now disconnected
}
}
I'm working on an app that searches for discoverable devices and displays them as buttons.
When calling startDiscovery() I would say it works 30% of the time, based on the way I'm currently debugging it, with the BroadcastReceiver and ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.
I'm also using isDiscovering() to test if the startDiscovery() function is called but it returns false.
Is there a way to know if startDiscovery() is called successfully? And can you identify something in my code that would make it not fail?
Obs.: I have both BLUETOOTH AND BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permissions.
Here is my code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_scan);
mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
String Address;
// 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);
Address = device.getAddress();
System.out.println("Found Address: " + Address ); //DEBUG
//Do something with Address
} else if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.equals(action)) {
System.out.println("Discovery finished");
}
}
};
// Register the BroadcastReceiver
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
filter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED);
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
MainActivity.mBluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();
if (MainActivity.mBluetoothAdapter.isDiscovering()) {
System.out.println("Discovering..."); //DEBUG
}
}
Although I have a few discoverable devices available, none of them trigger onReceive() with ACTION_FOUND
UPDATE: I went to "Scan" under Bluetooth Settings while the app was running and I could not scan for new devices. I disabled/enabled Bluetooth and returned to the app and the problem was resolved. I don't know if that indicates that the adapter is busy or halted somehow.
I confirm this issue.
On some telephones you just need to disable/active BT. You can doit programatically with
mBluetoothAdapter.disable();
mBluetoothAdapter.enable();
On some telephones its not enough ( Samsung S5 ). To detect it, I use timer, and if on end of timeout the change of BT broadcast state (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_STARTED or BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED ) wasnt received => its sign that BT is not working. Actually I show dialog which propose to user reboot the telephone.
I wrote code about android bluetooth programming.I'm connecting to HC06 modules.I used socket and I used Runnable method.If connection has ended I close socket
When I disconnect the bluetooth cable I can see the message of connection failure.But I exit from bluetooth connection range I cannot see the message of connection failure.
I cannot exit from bluetooth device connection range.Even if I move away.
What must I do?
Use intent filters to listen to the ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED, ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED, and ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED broadcasts:
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 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 (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED.equals(action)) {
... //Device is now connected
}
else if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.equals(action)) {
... //Done searching
}
else if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED.equals(action)) {
... //Device is about to disconnect
}
else if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED.equals(action)) {
... //Device has disconnected
}
}
};
I'm trying to check if there is a bluetooth device paired when running my app.
In the main activity, I find bluetooth devices and pair to them. In the second activity, I must check if there is a device paired or not.
If a device is conected, it starts automatically sending data, but if there is no conexion, then it simply shows a toast.
I need to do this just when the second activity starts. I found this code, but I don't know how to make it to start when the activity is just created.
public void onCreate() {
//...
IntentFilter filter1 = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED);
IntentFilter filter2 = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter1);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter2);
}
//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
}
else if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED.equals(action)) {
//Do something if disconnected
}
}
};
Here is a complete description of the problem, with the correct answer to solve it:
Action to know if there is any bluetooth paired device
I just started learning Android development. I am writing an Android program to scan available bluetooth devices and list them in a log file. As I am new to Android, I am unable to figure out what is wrong in the below code snippet.
button2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
ListView lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.myListView1);
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
{
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
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);
Log.v("BlueTooth Testing",device.getName() + "\n"
+ device.getAddress());
}
}
};
String aDiscoverable = BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE;
startActivityForResult(new Intent(aDiscoverable),DISCOVERY_REQUEST);
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
mBluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();
}
});
When I try the debug mode, the control skips the "BroadcastReceiver()". I could not find any entries in the log. Can you help me in figuring out what the problem is and how I can list the available bluetooth devices.
[edit]
I am getting error that the application has stopped unexpectedly:

You should have the BLUETOOTH and BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permissions in your manifest
