http://androidforums.com – I am investigating Bluetooth Low energy technology on Android platform for my project. Towards this, I would like to know whether there are plans to provide native Bluetooth low energy support in Android SDK. Is anybody working on the same? If yes, when will it be available? I came across the link of broadcom which talks about Open Bluetooth Low Energy SDK from Broadcom for Android. I would like to know whether this stack is complete or under development? If it is under development when is it planned to be completed? (General)

Android is behind on adding Bluetooth Low Energy support to Android. If it was added, a ton of accessories could be supported on Android instead of just on iOS.

Please sign this petition to ask Google to do so!

The Bluetooth SIG (special interest group) announced & formal adoption& of Bluetooth 4.0, which includes a new LE (low-energy) mode. Allowing devices to operate for more than a year on button batteries, the spec will let controllers wake host devices within three milliseconds and transfer data at 1Mbps, the organization says....

Does anyone know the best way to detect Bluetooth LE advertisements on a Android device? I need to only retrieve the service UUID and RSSI value from the advertisement packet, I don't need to connect with the device--If this makes a difference. Do I need to use one of the vendor specific Bluetooth API's like Broadcom for a device that contains a Broadcom bluetooth module?

According to this link there are two bluetooth low energy APIs for android phones with broadcom chips and Motorola phones.

Does anyone know which specific phones these APIs are compatible with?

I am new to java and currently working on a project. I am trying to get familiar with the bluetooth. So far, i have been able to turn on and off bluetooth from within the app. The problem i have is that the screen does not refresh after an action has been carried out. For example, when i turn on the bluetooth, it comes on, but the text in the textview doesn't update until i flip the phone over.

Bloom Energy claims that it will be an unstoppable force in the alternative energy business and its got huge corporate support...

Is there a way to generate stack trace from functions:

bt_enable() and bt_disable() (present in system/bluetooth/bluedroid/)?

According to my understanding these functions are called when a user tries to switch ON/OFF Bluetooth from Settings [Android ICS].

The Amarino project has released source code for Amarino 2.0, a development kit that lets Android phones control mobile devices based on Arduino microcontrollers via Bluetooth. The Amarino 2.0 Android library enables control of multiple Bluetooth devices in parallel, says the project....
