Question

In our app, I\'d like to connect to a previously paired A2DP Bluetooth Speaker and direct audio playback to it, using Android v4.2 or later.

I can successfully creat

This one works for me. After receive BluetoothA2dp.STATE_CONNECTED, you can play music as normal.

public class A2DPActivity extends Activity {

protected static final String TAG = "ZS-A2dp";

Button mBtPlay;

BluetoothAdapter mBtAdapter;
BluetoothA2dp mA2dpService;

AudioManager mAudioManager;
MediaPlayer mPlayer;

BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent intent) {
        String action = intent.getAction();
        Log.d(TAG, "receive intent for action : " + action);
        if (action.equals(BluetoothA2dp.ACTION_CONNECTION_STATE_CHANGED)) {
            int state = intent.getIntExtra(BluetoothA2dp.EXTRA_STATE, BluetoothA2dp.STATE_DISCONNECTED);
            if (state == BluetoothA2dp.STATE_CONNECTED) {
                setIsA2dpReady(true);
                playMusic();
            } else if (state == BluetoothA2dp.STATE_DISCONNECTED) {
                setIsA2dpReady(false);
            }
        } else if (action.equals(BluetoothA2dp.ACTION_PLAYING_STATE_CHANGED)) {
            int state = intent.getIntExtra(BluetoothA2dp.EXTRA_STATE, BluetoothA2dp.STATE_NOT_PLAYING);
            if (state == BluetoothA2dp.STATE_PLAYING) {
                Log.d(TAG, "A2DP start playing");
                Toast.makeText(A2DPActivity.this, "A2dp is playing", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } else {
                Log.d(TAG, "A2DP stop playing");
                Toast.makeText(A2DPActivity.this, "A2dp is stopped", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    }

};

boolean mIsA2dpReady = false;
void setIsA2dpReady(boolean ready) {
    mIsA2dpReady = ready;
    Toast.makeText(this, "A2DP ready ? " + (ready ? "true" : "false"), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

private ServiceListener mA2dpListener = new ServiceListener() {

    @Override
    public void onServiceConnected(int profile, BluetoothProfile a2dp) {
        Log.d(TAG, "a2dp service connected. profile = " + profile);
        if (profile == BluetoothProfile.A2DP) {
            mA2dpService = (BluetoothA2dp) a2dp;
            if (mAudioManager.isBluetoothA2dpOn()) {
                setIsA2dpReady(true);
                playMusic();
            } else {
                Log.d(TAG, "bluetooth a2dp is not on while service connected");
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onServiceDisconnected(int profile) {
        setIsA2dpReady(false);
    }

};

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
    setContentView(ll);

    mAudioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
    registerReceiver(mReceiver, new IntentFilter(BluetoothA2dp.ACTION_CONNECTION_STATE_CHANGED));
    registerReceiver(mReceiver, new IntentFilter(BluetoothA2dp.ACTION_PLAYING_STATE_CHANGED));

    mBtAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
    mBtAdapter.getProfileProxy(this, mA2dpListener , BluetoothProfile.A2DP);

}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    mBtAdapter.closeProfileProxy(BluetoothProfile.A2DP, mA2dpService);
    releaseMediaPlayer();
    unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
    super.onDestroy();
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    releaseMediaPlayer();
    super.onPause();
}

private void releaseMediaPlayer() {
    if (mPlayer != null) {
        mPlayer.release();
        mPlayer = null;
    }
}

private void playMusic() {
    mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
    AssetFileDescriptor fd;
    try {
        fd = assetManager.openFd("Radioactive.mp3");
        Log.d(TAG, "fd = " + fd);
        mPlayer.setDataSource(fd.getFileDescriptor());
        mPlayer.prepare();
        Log.d(TAG, "start play music");
        mPlayer.start();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
