Disable Bluetooth discoverable mode on Android

Question

I found in the Android documentation how to turn Bluetooth discoverability mode on:

Intent discoverableIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE);
discoverableIntent.putExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_DISCOVERABLE_DURATION, 300);
startActivity(discoverableIntent);

This will make the device discoverable for 300 seconds (documentation).

My question is: how to turn discoverability OFF before this timeout occurs? I'd like to replicate the corresponding setting in Settings|Wireless and networks|Bluetooth settings applet, that allows discoverability to be turned on and off with a click.

Any help?

Answer 1

Just send a new discoverable request with duration 1 (or 0 might even work):

Intent discoverableIntent = new
Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE);
discoverableIntent.putExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_DISCOVERABLE_DURATION, 1);
startActivity(discoverableIntent);

Answer 2

cancelDiscovery() is not for this. This method can be used to stop the scanning of your device for other bluetooth devices. It is different from this to make device not visible.
