startLeScan replacement to current api

Question

Goal is to read the values of a bluetooth LE heart rate monitor.

Using google\'s sample, I get

private void scanLeDevice(final boolean enable) {
             


        

Answer 1

Remember that the method:

public BluetoothLeScanner getBluetoothLeScanner ()

isn't static. If you do:

BluetoothAdapter.getBluetoothLeScanner() 

you will get an error, since getDefaultAdapter() is a static method, but getBluetoothLeScanner() isn't.

You need an instance of a BluetoothAdapter. You can get one by doing:

(BluetoothManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE).getAdapter()

That way, you can try:

Context mContext = getBaseContext();
BluetoothAdapter mAdapter = ((BluetoothManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE)).getAdapter();
BluetoothLeScanner mLeScanner = mAdapter.getBluetoothLeScanner();

mLeScanner.startScan(...);
