Bluetooth on Android..

[pavan savoy]

How do I scan using that menu ?

All I can see is 3 options, Turn on Bluetooth, which I cannot enable, since
I am doing an hciattach.
Bluetooth settings which has the turn on Bluetooth option again,
Discoverable, which it is...
Device Name shows as no name set, however hciconfig hci0 name returns me a
device name BlueZ (0).

And the Bluetooth devices section is empty. Am I missing the link ?

Hi,
I am quite new to the Android Build system, but I could enable the

Bluetooth

libraries & utilities to be built. I can even scan by using the hcitool
utility.
But how do I do all these using the UI ?

Settings -> Wireless -> Bluetooth

I heard that the Bluetooth APIs were left out from the 0.9 version

onwards,

I don't want to build applications as such using the SDK.
But a Bluetooth Application to discover / search devices around.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan Savoy

Hi,

Humn, I don't have a menu which says scan for devices, may be I am missing
that application.
Also I tried putting the hciattach in init.rc, doesnt seem to work.

How do I run hciattach from the UI ? [ Wouldn't running from console send
an dbus message to rest of the system ?? ]

PS: about the platform, I am not sure I can tell that, which check back on
that...
I mean you are from google, and would obviously by now know, but I am just
an engineer and hence the concern.

Thanks & Regards,
Pavan Savoy.

Use Menu -> Scan for devices to initiate a BT inquiry. But that won't
work unless the UI thinks that bluetooth is on. If you are running
hciattach behind the scenes then the UI won't know that buetooth is
on. You should use the UI to run hciattach.
What platform are you running Android on?
