Ok... it's ugly. Indeed, this was one of the things I found difficult to do in the same manner in Android 1.x and Android 2.x
I actually found it difficult to have one app exercise both these interfaces, one of the several reasons I wish I had a separate app for 1.x vs 2.x -- if you've not yet made a final choice there, split them up and you will be happier. In Android 1.x, this will do it, cribbed and reduced from Android source. I had to bring over a considerable portion of android.bluetooth to get this working. You would call the static enable() function to do it: import android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice; import android.content.Context; public class LocalBluetoothManager { private static LocalBluetoothManager sSingleton; /** Used when obtaining a reference to the singleton instance. */ private static Object INSTANCE_LOCK = new Object(); private boolean mInitialized; private BluetoothDevice mManager; public static boolean enable(Context context, boolean b) { synchronized (INSTANCE_LOCK) { if (sSingleton == null) { sSingleton = new LocalBluetoothManager(); } if (!sSingleton.init(context)) { return false; } return b ? sSingleton.mManager.enable() : sSingleton.mManager.disable(); } } private boolean init(Context context) { if (mInitialized) return true; mInitialized = true; mManager = (BluetoothDevice) context.getSystemService("bluetooth"); // Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE); if (mManager == null) { return false; } return true; } } In Android 2.x, it is simpler: import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter; BluetoothAdapter adapt = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(); adapt.enable(); // or adapt.disable(); You MAY need to have these permissions in your manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" /> Make sure you test on both Android 1.x and 2.x before going to Market. tone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
