Class Overview

High level manager used to obtain an instance of an BluetoothAdapter and to conduct overall Bluetooth Management.

Use getSystemService(java.lang.String) with BLUETOOTH_SERVICE to create an BluetoothManager, then call getAdapter() to obtain the BluetoothAdapter.

Alternately, you can just call the static helper getDefaultAdapter().

This is not specific to any application configuration but represents the connection state of the local Bluetooth adapter for certain profile. This can be used by applications like status bar which would just like to know the state of Bluetooth.

Requires BLUETOOTH permission.

Parameters
device Remote bluetooth device.
profile GATT or GATT_SERVER
Returns

public List<BluetoothDevice> getDevicesMatchingConnectionStates (int profile, int[] states)

Added in API level 18

Get a list of devices that match any of the given connection states.

If none of the devices match any of the given states, an empty list will be returned.

This is not specific to any application configuration but represents the connection state of the local Bluetooth adapter for this profile. This can be used by applications like status bar which would just like to know the state of the local adapter.
