BluetoothClass

class BluetoothClass : Parcelable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.bluetooth.BluetoothClass

Represents a Bluetooth class, which describes general characteristics and capabilities of a device. For example, a Bluetooth class will specify the general device type such as a phone, a computer, or headset, and whether it's capable of services such as audio or telephony.

Every Bluetooth class is composed of zero or more service classes, and exactly one device class. The device class is further broken down into major and minor device class components.

BluetoothClass is useful as a hint to roughly describe a device (for example to show an icon in the UI), but does not reliably describe which Bluetooth profiles or services are actually supported by a device. Accurate service discovery is done through SDP requests, which are automatically performed when creating an RFCOMM socket with android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice#createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord and android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter#listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord

Use BluetoothDevice#getBluetoothClass to retrieve the class for a remote device.

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 5
fun describeContents(): Int
Return
Int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or android.os.Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

doesClassMatch

Added in API level 33
fun doesClassMatch(profile: Int): Boolean

Check class bits for possible bluetooth profile support. This is a simple heuristic that tries to guess if a device with the given class bits might support specified profile. It is not accurate for all devices. It tries to err on the side of false positives.

Parameters
profile Int: the profile to be checked
Return
Boolean whether this device supports specified profile

equals

Added in API level 5
fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
obj the reference object with which to compare.
o This value may be null.
Return
Boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

getDeviceClass

Added in API level 5
fun getDeviceClass(): Int

Return the (major and minor) device class component of this BluetoothClass.

Values returned from this function can be compared with the public constants in BluetoothClass.Device to determine which device class is encoded in this Bluetooth class.

Return
Int device class component

getMajorDeviceClass

Added in API level 5
fun getMajorDeviceClass(): Int

Return the major device class component of this BluetoothClass.

Values returned from this function can be compared with the public constants in BluetoothClass.Device.Major to determine which major class is encoded in this Bluetooth class.

Return
Int major device class component

hasService

Added in API level 5
fun hasService(service: Int): Boolean

Return true if the specified service class is supported by this BluetoothClass.

Valid service classes are the public constants in BluetoothClass.Service. For example, BluetoothClass.Service#AUDIO.

Parameters
service Int: valid service class
Return
Boolean true if the service class is supported

hashCode

Added in API level 5
fun hashCode(): Int
Return
Int a hash code value for this object.

toString

Added in API level 5
fun toString(): String
Return
String a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 5
fun writeToParcel(
    out: Parcel, 
    flags: Int
): Unit
Parameters
dest The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be null.
flags Int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of android.os.Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES

Properties

CREATOR
