List bluetooth devices in Java?

Feb 04, 2017 11:25:58

So quick question,
Is there a block of code that will tell you every bluetooth connected device, to your computer, in the console.

So for example I (could) have a: Printer, Speakers and an Apple tv connected via bluetooth. And once you have run the block of code in the console it will say something like:
Connected device(s) 3
Speakers
Printer
Apple tv.

(this will vary with what devices are connected.)

Thanks for any help/ suggestions,
Bod

P.S should this have been posted in somewhere like the I.O part of the forums?

What platform will you be targeting - Windows, Linux, Android, ???

Good question,
For now, Mac, but in future I will try universal.

Maybe start by looking at BlueCove. It supports the JSR-82 API and I believe it hooks into OS/X (I have only used it wilth Linux and Windows).

Thanks, I will remember to try that!

First, bear in mind that in the emulator you can't detect 'real' Bluetooth devices without a third-party JSR-82 library such as Bluecove . But when you deploy to a JSR-82 capable phone, it should work.
