# android-bluetooth-serial
[](https://travis-ci.com/harry1453/android-bluetooth-serial)
A library for Android to simplify basic serial communication over Bluetooth, for example when communicating with Arduinos.
## How to include the library
[](https://jitpack.io/#harry1453/android-bluetooth-serial)
**Gradle**
- **Project level `build.gradle`**
```gradle
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
```
- **App level `build.gradle`**
```gradle
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.harry1453:android-bluetooth-serial:v1.1'
// RxJava is also required.
implementation 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.1.12'
implementation 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:2.0.2'
}
```
## Using the library
Please see the `demoApplication` directory for a fully-featured demo app.
1. Declare your `BluetoothManager` (Make sure to include the library `BluetoothManager`, not the Android one):
```JAVA
import com.harrysoft.androidbluetoothserial.BluetoothManager;
```
Your Activity's `onCreate()`:
```JAVA
// Setup our BluetoothManager
BluetoothManager bluetoothManager = BluetoothManager.getInstance();
if (bluetoothManager == null) {
// Bluetooth unavailable on this device :( tell the user
Toast.makeText(context, "Bluetooth not available.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); // Replace context with your context instance.
finish();
}
```
2. Get the list of paired devices:
```JAVA
Collection pairedDevices = bluetoothManager.getPairedDevices();
for (BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices) {
Log.d("My Bluetooth App", "Device name: " + device.getName());
Log.d("My Bluetooth App", "Device MAC Address: " + device.getAddress());
}
```
3. Select a device you want to connect to from the list and fetch its MAC Address.
4. Connect to the device and send/receive messages:
```JAVA
import com.harrysoft.androidbluetoothserial.BluetoothSerialDevice;
```
```JAVA
private SimpleBluetoothDeviceInterface deviceInterface;
private void connectDevice(String mac) {
bluetoothManager.openSerialDevice(mac)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(this::onConnected, this::onError);
}
private void onConnected(BluetoothSerialDevice connectedDevice) {
// You are now connected to this device!
// Here you may want to retain an instance to your device:
deviceInterface = connectedDevice.toSimpleDeviceInterface();
// Listen to bluetooth events
deviceInterface.setListeners(this::onMessageReceived, this::onMessageSent, this::onError);
// Let's send a message:
deviceInterface.sendMessage("Hello world!");
}
private void onMessageSent(String message) {
// We sent a message! Handle it here.
Toast.makeText(context, "Sent a message! Message was: " + message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); // Replace context with your context instance.
}
private void onMessageReceived(String message) {
// We received a message! Handle it here.
Toast.makeText(context, "Received a message! Message was: " + message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); // Replace context with your context instance.
}
private void onError(Throwable error) {
// Handle the error
}
```
5. Disconnect the device:
```JAVA
// Please remember to destroy your instance after closing as it will no longer function!
// Disconnect one device
bluetoothManager.closeDevice(macAddress); // Close by mac
// OR
bluetoothManager.closeDevice(connectedDevice); // Close by device instance
// OR
bluetoothManager.closeDevice(deviceInterface); // Close by interface instance
// Disconnect all devices
bluetoothManager.close();
```
