To Enable the Bluetooth you could use either of the following functions:
public void enableBT(View view){
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()){
Intent intentBtEnabled = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
// The REQUEST_ENABLE_BT constant passed to startActivityForResult() is a locally defined integer (which must be greater than 0), that the system passes back to you in your onActivityResult()
// implementation as the requestCode parameter.
int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 1;
startActivityForResult(intentBtEnabled, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);
}
}
The second function is:
public void enableBT(View view){
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()){
mBluetoothAdapter.enable();
}
}
The difference is that the first function makes the app ask the user a permission to turn on the Bluetooth or to deny. The second function makes the app turn on the Bluetooth directly.
To Disable the Bluetooth use the following function:
public void disableBT(View view){
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()){
mBluetoothAdapter.disable();
}
}
NOTE/ The first function needs only the following permission to be defined in the AndroidManifest.xml file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
While, the second and third functions need the following permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
