BluetoothHealth


class BluetoothHealth : BluetoothProfile
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.bluetooth.BluetoothHealth

Public API for Bluetooth Health Profile.

BluetoothHealth is a proxy object for controlling the Bluetooth Service via IPC.

How to connect to a health device which is acting in the source role.

  • Use BluetoothAdapter#getProfileProxy to get the BluetoothHealth proxy object.
  • Create an BluetoothHealth callback and call registerSinkAppConfiguration to register an application configuration
  • Pair with the remote device. This currently needs to be done manually from Bluetooth Settings
  • Connect to a health device using connectChannelToSource. Some devices will connect the channel automatically. The BluetoothHealth callback will inform the application of channel state change.
  • Use the file descriptor provided with a connected channel to read and write data to the health channel.
  • The received data needs to be interpreted using a health manager which implements the IEEE 11073-xxxxx specifications.
  • When done, close the health channel by calling disconnectChannel and unregister the application configuration calling unregisterAppConfiguration

    dataType Int: The dataType of the Source role of Health Profile to which the sink wants to connect to.
    callback BluetoothHealthCallback!: A callback to indicate success or failure of the registration and all operations done on this application configuration.
    Return
    Boolean If true, callback will be called.

    unregisterAppConfiguration
