- Here is a very simple example that I thought might be helpful to someone. I have included the four files that have content that is key to setting up the application.
- The program checks to see if the device has bluetooth. If the device does and it isn’t turned on the program will prompt the user to turn it one. Once bluetooth is running it lists the paired devices.
- The get Bounded Devices() method of Bluetooth Adapter class provides a set containing list of all paired or bounded bluetooth devices.
- In this example, we are checking if the bluetooth is turned off, if yes then turn it on and list all the paired devices.
- Drag one text view from the pallete, now the activity_main.xml file will like this:
File: activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:androclass="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
android:layout_marginTop="61dp"
android:text="Showing Paired Devices:" />
</RelativeLayout>

Provide Permission
- You need to provide following permissions in AndroidManifest.xml file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />

- The full code of AndroidManifest.xml file is given below.
- File: AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:androclass="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.bluetoothshowpaired"

Activity class
- Let's write the code to provide the list of paired (bounded) bluetooth devices.
- File: MainActivity.java
package com.example.bluetoothshowpaired;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import java.util.Set;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
TextView textview1;
private static final int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 1;
BluetoothAdapter btAdapter;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
textview1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
// Getting the Bluetooth adapter
btAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
textview1.append("\nAdapter: " + btAdapter);
CheckBluetoothState();
}
/* It is called when an activity completes.*/
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == REQUEST_ENABLE_BT) {
CheckBluetoothState();
}
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
private void CheckBluetoothState() {
// Checks for the Bluetooth support and then makes sure it is turned on
// If it isn't turned on, request to turn it on
// List paired devices
if(btAdapter==null) {
textview1.append("\nBluetooth NOT supported. Aborting.");
return;
} else {
if (btAdapter.isEnabled()) {
textview1.append("\nBluetooth is enabled...");
// Listing paired devices
textview1.append("\nPaired Devices are:");
Set<BluetoothDevice> devices = btAdapter.getBondedDevices();
for (BluetoothDevice device : devices) {
textview1.append("\n Device: " + device.getName() + ", " + device);
}
} else {
//Prompt user to turn on Bluetooth
Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);
}
}
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
