Question

ANSWER:How to use Bluetooth in Android emulator?

I have tried to enable disable bluetooth device. For this reason, I have wrote below code but it gives the error, which is also at below.

if ( bluetoothAdmin == null ) {

    return ;
}
if ( bluetooth . isEnabled()){
    bluetooth . disable ();
}
else {
    bluetooth . enable();
}

in on create

BLuetoothAdapter bluetooth = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter() ;

in manisfest

<uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" 
/>
<uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" 
/>

I am testing on the Android emulator

Answer 1

The emulator doesnt support bluetooth as mentioned in the sdk's docs. You have to check this in real device..

And you got error Bluetooth binder is null. it means emulator does not have bluetooth capability.

Answer 2

Android Emulator does not support Bluetooth. That is why you are getting an error. You can use a Smartphone connected to your Computer/Laptop to test your app.
