Implement BroadcastReceiver to monitor Bluetooth state changed

Last example show how to Enable Bluetooth using Intent of BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE. In this example, we implement a new class BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver, extends BroadcastReceiver, to monitor Bluetooth state changed.


BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver.java
package com.example.androidbluetooth;

import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
int state = intent.getIntExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_STATE,
-1);

switch(state){
case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_CONNECTED:
Toast.makeText(context,
"BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver: STATE_CONNECTED",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_CONNECTING:
Toast.makeText(context,
"BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver: STATE_CONNECTING",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_DISCONNECTED:
Toast.makeText(context,
"BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver: STATE_DISCONNECTED",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_DISCONNECTING:
Toast.makeText(context,
"BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver: STATE_DISCONNECTING",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_OFF:
Toast.makeText(context,
"BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver: STATE_OFF",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_ON:
Toast.makeText(context,
"BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver: STATE_ON",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_TURNING_OFF:
Toast.makeText(context,
"BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver: STATE_TURNING_OFF",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_TURNING_ON:
Toast.makeText(context,
"BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver: STATE_TURNING_ON",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
}

}

Call registerReceiver(...) to register new BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver(), to the intent of BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED.
package com.example.androidbluetooth;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

TextView textInfo;
Button buttonEnableBT;
BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter;

final static int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 1;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

textInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.info);
buttonEnableBT = (Button)findViewById(R.id.enablebt);

bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (bluetoothAdapter == null) {
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth not supported in this device");
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(false);
}else{
if (bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(false);
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth enabled");
}else{
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(true);
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth disabled, click button to turn on BlueTooth.");
}

//register BroadcastReceiver
registerReceiver(new BTStateChangedBroadcastReceiver(),
new IntentFilter(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED));
}

buttonEnableBT.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);
}});

}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

if(requestCode == REQUEST_ENABLE_BT){
if(resultCode==RESULT_OK){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "BlueTooth Turned On", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}

if (bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(false);
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth enabled");
}else{
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(true);
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth disabled, click button to turn on BlueTooth.");
}

}

}

Permission of "android.permission.BLUETOOTH" is needed in AndroidManifest.xml.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>

Check BlueTooth status, and enable it using Intent of BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE

This example check if Bluetooth supported in running device and its ON/OFF status. Then call startActivityForResult() with Intent of BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE, when user click button to enable it. Then re-check the status again in onActivityResult() when result returned.


MainActivity.java
package com.example.androidbluetooth;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

TextView textInfo;
Button buttonEnableBT;
BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter;

final static int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 1;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

textInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.info);
buttonEnableBT = (Button)findViewById(R.id.enablebt);

bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (bluetoothAdapter == null) {
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth not supported in this device");
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(false);
}else{
if (bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(false);
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth enabled");
}else{
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(true);
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth disabled, click button to turn on BlueTooth.");
}

}

buttonEnableBT.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);
}});

}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

if(requestCode == REQUEST_ENABLE_BT){
if(resultCode==RESULT_OK){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "BlueTooth Turned On", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}

if (bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(false);
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth enabled");
}else{
buttonEnableBT.setEnabled(true);
textInfo.setText("BlueTooth disabled, click button to turn on BlueTooth.");
}

}

}
