The interface for Bluetooth Sockets is similar to that of TCP sockets: * {@link java.net.Socket} and {@link java.net.ServerSocket}. On the server * side, use a {@link BluetoothServerSocket} to create a listening server * socket. When a connection is accepted by the {@link BluetoothServerSocket}, * it will return a new {@link BluetoothSocket} to manage the connection. * On the client side, use a single {@link BluetoothSocket} to both initiate * an outgoing connection and to manage the connection. * *
For Bluetooth BR/EDR, the most common type of socket is RFCOMM, which is the type supported by * the Android APIs. RFCOMM is a connection-oriented, streaming transport over Bluetooth BR/EDR. It * is also known as the Serial Port Profile (SPP). To create a listening * {@link BluetoothServerSocket} that's ready for incoming Bluetooth BR/EDR connections, use {@link * BluetoothAdapter#listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord * BluetoothAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord()}. * *
For Bluetooth LE, the socket uses LE Connection-oriented Channel (CoC). LE CoC is a * connection-oriented, streaming transport over Bluetooth LE and has a credit-based flow control. * Correspondingly, use {@link BluetoothAdapter#listenUsingL2capChannel * BluetoothAdapter.listenUsingL2capChannel()} to create a listening {@link BluetoothServerSocket} * that's ready for incoming Bluetooth LE CoC connections. For LE CoC, you can use {@link #getPsm()} * to get the protocol/service multiplexer (PSM) value that the peer needs to use to connect to your * socket. * *
After the listening {@link BluetoothServerSocket} is created, call {@link #accept()} to * listen for incoming connection requests. This call will block until a connection is established, * at which point, it will return a {@link BluetoothSocket} to manage the connection. Once the * {@link BluetoothSocket} is acquired, it's a good idea to call {@link #close()} on the {@link * BluetoothServerSocket} when it's no longer needed for accepting * connections. Closing the {@link BluetoothServerSocket} will not close the returned * {@link BluetoothSocket}. * *
{@link BluetoothServerSocket} is thread * safe. In particular, {@link #close} will always immediately abort ongoing * operations and close the server socket. * *
Note: * Requires the {@link android.Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH} permission. * *
For more information about using Bluetooth, read the * Bluetooth developer guide.
