# BluetoothDevice

`public final class BluetoothDevice`
`extends Object` `implements Parcelable`

java.lang.Object
↳ | android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice

Represents a remote Bluetooth device. A `BluetoothDevice` lets you create a connection with the respective device or query information about it, such as the name, address, class, and bonding state.

This class is really just a thin wrapper for a Bluetooth hardware address. Objects of this class are immutable. Operations on this class are performed on the remote Bluetooth hardware address, using the `BluetoothAdapter` that was used to create this `BluetoothDevice`.

To get a `BluetoothDevice`, use `BluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(String)` to create one representing a device of a known MAC address (which you can get through device discovery with `BluetoothAdapter`) or get one from the set of bonded devices returned by `BluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices()`. You can then open a `BluetoothSocket` for communication with the remote device, using `createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(java.util.UUID)` over Bluetooth BR/EDR or using `createL2capChannel(int)` over Bluetooth LE.

`IOException` | on error, for example Bluetooth not available, or insufficient permissions

### createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord

    public BluetoothSocket createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord (UUID uuid)

Create an RFCOMM `BluetoothSocket` socket ready to start an insecure outgoing connection to this remote device using SDP lookup of uuid.

The communication channel will not have an authenticated link key i.e it will be subject to person-in-the-middle attacks. For Bluetooth 2.1 devices, the link key will be encrypted, as encryption is mandatory. For legacy devices (pre Bluetooth 2.1 devices) the link key will be not be encrypted. Use `createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(UUID)` if an encrypted and authenticated communication channel is desired.

This is designed to be used with `BluetoothAdapter.listenUsingInsecureRfcommWithServiceRecord(String, UUID)` for peer-peer Bluetooth applications.

Use `BluetoothSocket#connect` to initiate the outgoing connection. This will also perform an SDP lookup of the given uuid to determine which channel to connect to.

The remote device will be authenticated and communication on this socket will be encrypted.

Hint: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth serial board then try using the well-known SPP UUID 00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB. However if you are connecting to an Android peer then please generate your own unique UUID.
For apps targeting `Build.VERSION_CODES#R` or lower, this requires the `Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH` permission which can be gained with a simple `<uses-permission>` manifest tag.
For apps targeting `Build.VERSION_CODES#S` or or higher, this requires the `Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` permission which can be gained with `Activity.requestPermissions(String[], int)`.
Requires `Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT`

### describeContents

    public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of `writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int)`, the return value of this method must include the `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` bit.

Returns
`int` | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

### equals

    public boolean equals (Object o)

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`.

The `equals` method for class `Object` implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values `x` and `y`, this method returns `true` if and only if `x` and `y` refer to the same object (`x == y` has the value `true`).

Note that it is generally necessary to override the `hashCode` method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the `hashCode` method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.

Parameters
`o` | `Object`: This value may be `null`.

Returns
`boolean` | `true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.

### fetchUuidsWithSdp

    public boolean fetchUuidsWithSdp ()

Perform a service discovery on the remote device to get the UUIDs supported.

This API is asynchronous and `ACTION_UUID` intent is sent, with the UUIDs supported by the remote end. If there is an error in getting the SDP records or if the process takes a long time, or the device is bonding and we have its UUIDs cached, `ACTION_UUID` intent is sent with the UUIDs that is currently present in the cache. Clients should use the `getUuids()` to get UUIDs if service discovery is not to be performed. If there is an ongoing bonding process, service discovery or device inquiry, the request will be queued.
For apps targeting `Build.VERSION_CODES#R` or lower, this requires the `Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH` permission which can be gained with a simple `<uses-permission>` manifest tag.
For apps targeting `Build.VERSION_CODES#S` or or higher, this requires the `Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` permission which can be gained with `Activity.requestPermissions(String[], int)`.
Requires `Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT`

Returns
`boolean` | False if the check fails, True if the process of initiating an ACL connection to the remote device was started or cached UUIDs will be broadcast.

Returns
`ParcelUuid[]` | the supported features (UUIDs) of the remote device, or null on error

### hashCode

    public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by `HashMap`.

The general contract of `hashCode` is:

- Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the `hashCode` method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in `equals` comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
- If two objects are equal according to the `equals(Object)` method, then calling the `hashCode` method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
- It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the `equals(java.lang.Object)` method, then calling the `hashCode` method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class `Object` does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java™ programming language.)

Returns
`int` | a hash code value for this object.

### setAlias

    public int setAlias (String alias)

Sets the locally modifiable name (alias) of the remote Bluetooth device. This method overwrites the previously stored alias. The new alias is saved in local storage so that the change is preserved over power cycles.

This method requires the calling app to be associated with Companion Device Manager (see `CompanionDeviceManager.associate(AssociationRequest, android.companion.CompanionDeviceManager.Callback, Handler)`) and have the `Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` permission. Alternatively, if the caller has the `Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED` permission, they can bypass the Companion Device Manager association requirement as well as other permission requirements.
For apps targeting `Build.VERSION_CODES#R` or lower, this requires the `Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH` permission which can be gained with a simple `<uses-permission>` manifest tag.
For apps targeting `Build.VERSION_CODES#S` or or higher, this requires the `Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` permission which can be gained with `Activity.requestPermissions(String[], int)`.
Requires `Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT`

Parameters
`alias` | `String`: is the new locally modifiable name for the remote Bluetooth device which must be the empty string. If null, we clear the alias. This value may be `null`.

Returns
`int` | whether the alias was successfully changed Value is `BluetoothStatusCodes.SUCCESS`, `BluetoothStatusCodes.ERROR_BLUETOOTH_NOT_ENABLED`, `BluetoothStatusCodes.ERROR_BLUETOOTH_NOT_ALLOWED`, `BluetoothStatusCodes.ERROR_MISSING_BLUETOOTH_CONNECT_PERMISSION`, or `BluetoothStatusCodes.ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_BONDED`

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException` | if the alias is the empty string

### setPairingConfirmation

Returns
`boolean` | true confirmation has been sent out false for error

### setPin

    public boolean setPin (byte[] pin)

Set the pin during pairing when the pairing method is `PAIRING_VARIANT_PIN`
For apps targeting `Build.VERSION_CODES#R` or lower, this requires the `Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_ADMIN` permission which can be gained with a simple `<uses-permission>` manifest tag.
For apps targeting `Build.VERSION_CODES#S` or or higher, this requires the `Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` permission which can be gained with `Activity.requestPermissions(String[], int)`.
Requires `Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT`

Parameters
`pin` | `byte`

Returns
`boolean` | true pin has been set false for error

### toString

    public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of this BluetoothDevice.

Currently this is the Bluetooth hardware address, for example "00:11:22:AA:BB:CC". However, you should always use `getAddress()` if you explicitly require the Bluetooth hardware address in case the `toString()` representation changes in the future.

Returns
`String` | string representation of this BluetoothDevice

### writeToParcel

    public void writeToParcel (Parcel out,
                    int flags)
