| Provides classes that manage Bluetooth functionality, such as scanning for |
| devices, connecting with devices, and managing data transfer between devices. |
| |
| <p>The Bluetooth APIs let applications:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Scan for other Bluetooth devices</li> |
| <li>Query the local Bluetooth adapter for paired Bluetooth devices</li> |
| <li>Establish RFCOMM channels/sockets</li> |
| <li>Connect to specified sockets on other devices</li> |
| <li>Transfer data to and from other devices</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| To perform Bluetooth communication using these APIs, an application must |
| declare the {@link android.Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH} permission. Some |
| additional functionality, such as requesting device discovery, |
| also requires the {@link android.Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_ADMIN} |
| permission. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>For a detailed guide to using the Bluetooth APIs, see the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/wireless/bluetooth.html">Bluetooth Dev Guide topic</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> |
| Not all Android devices are guaranteed to have Bluetooth functionality.</p> |
