Android-Bluetooth-Library

This is an Android bluetooth client server library for communication any device via bluetooth with Serial Port Profile (SPP). This library allows you to easily create a socket bluetooth connection for two devices with one server and one client. The main purpose of this library is you can establish connection in one Class or Activity or Fragment and can send or receive data in multiple Classes / Activities / Fragments. This library is compatible with the Android SDK 4.4 W to up.

 

Bluetooth Classic app uses Android-Bluetooth-Library.

Features

Support Android 12

Bluetooth class provides the following features :

• Turn on/ off bluetooth.
• Detect nearby bluetooth devices.
• Get bluetooth discovery started or finished.
• Pair bluetooth device and list of paired devices.
• Unpair bluetooth device (using reflection).

Connection class provides the following features :

• Set your own UUID for connection.
• Accept incoming bluetooth connection request.
• Connect bluetooth device.
• Received data from connected device.
• Send data to connected device.
• Check connection status.
• Disconnect bluetooth connection.

SendReceive class provides the following features:

• Send data to connected device (using one or more Classes / Activities / Fragments).
• Receive data from connected device (using one or more Classes / Activities / Fragments).

Version 0.2

New feature added in Connection class

• Connect timeout

Enable and disable connect timeout

// Enable
connection.enableConnectTimeout();
// Disable
connection.disableConnectTimeout();

Set your own connect timeout (Optional)

Default connect timeout is 35 sec.

connection.setConnectTimeout(timeoutMillis);

Quick start

Add JitPack to your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Add the dependency in your module build.gradle:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.github.prasad-psp:Android-Bluetooth-Library:1.0.2'
}

Bluetooth

Turn on/off bluetooth

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

 	// Initialize bluetooth 
	bluetooth = new Bluetooth(this);
	
	// Turn on bluetooth with user permission 
	/* if you want to check user allow or denied bluetooth turn on 	
       	request add override method onActivityResult and request code is Bluetooth.BLUETOOTH_ENABLE_REQUEST */
	bluetooth.turnOnWithPermission(this);

	// Turn on bluetooth without user permission
	// bluetooth.turnOnWithoutPermission();

	// Turn off bluetooth
	bluetooth.turnOff();
}

Check connection status

if(connection.isConnected()) {

}
else {
    Log.d(TAG,"Device disconnected");
}

Disconnect bluetooth connection

connection.disconnect();

Send Receive

Note: Call SendReceive class when connection is established.

Send data to connected device (using one or more Classes / Activities / Fragments)

// SendReceive.getInstance().send(b);  //byte[] b
// SendReceive.getInstance().send(b,off,len);  // byte[] b , int off, int len
// OR
if(SendReceive.getInstance().send(data)) {
    Log.d(TAG,"Send successful");
}
else {
    Log.d(TAG,"Sending failed");
}

Receive data from connected device (using one or more Classes / Activities / Fragments)

// Receive listener
SendReceive.getInstance().setOnReceiveListener(new BluetoothListener.onReceiveListener() {
    // This method is deprecated and should not be used.
    @Override
    public void onReceived(String receivedData) {
        Log.d(TAG, "onReceived: "+receivedData);
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceived(String receivedData, byte[] receivedDataInBytes) {
