Hello, I am writing an android program that I need to know when a bluetooth device (I know the Mac) is in range. The program also needs to be aware when the device is not in range. Is there any way to do this without establishing a connection?
When the device is in range, I am able to call BluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice and retrieve the friendly name. But when I am not in range, it seems this information is cached. I was thinking if I can use the friendly name as an indicator whether the device is within range (i.e If friendly name is not null, then it's in range). I am certain there is better way to do this. But it seems the only way is to establishing a connection. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
