Appcelerator Module For Bluetooth Connectivity on Android

This module is no longer being maintained. If an interested party would like to fork and keep up to date with the latest Appcerator SDKs or develop new features, we will direct traffic from here to there. Just let us know!

Requirements for Building the Module

Create the file android/build.properties with following content (substituting your local values):

• titanium.platform=${TITANIUM_SDK_PATH_FOR_DESIRED_VERSION}
• android.platform=${PATH_TO_ANDROID_SDK}/platforms/android-${DESIRED_VERSION}
• google.apis=${PATH_TO_ANDROID_SDK}/add-ons/addon-google_apis-google-${VERSION}
• android.ndk=${PATH_TO_ANDROID_NDK}

For example:

titanium.platform=/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/5.5.1.GA/android
android.platform=/Users/me/sdks/androidsdk2/platforms/android-23
google.apis=/Users/me/sdks/androidsdk2/add-ons/addon-google_apis-google-23
android.ndk=/Users/me/sdks/android-ndk-r10e

V1.3 Update

Build for Titanium SDK 5.5.1 for use with Android 6 and 7

Permissions

The location permission is now required in order to search for nearby devices.

The module includes the permission android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION however it can not automatically prompt the user for permission and so that must be done withing your Titanium App, as per the following JIRA

https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-20144

https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-20320

Request Permission

    var locationPermission = "android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION";
    var hasLocationPermission = Ti.Android.hasPermission(locationPermission);
    var permissionsToRequest = [];

    if (!hasLocationPermission) {
        permissionsToRequest.push(locationPermission);
    } else {
        bluetoothModule.findDevices(callback);
    }
    if (permissionsToRequest.length > 0) {
        Ti.Android.requestPermissions(permissionsToRequest, function(e) {

            if (e.success) {
                bluetoothModule.findDevices(callback);
            } else {
                alert("Your Android Device must grant location permission in order to search for devices");
            }
        });
    }
