This issue (or a part of it) will be tackled as a bachelor thesis by @DZetko

MartinZikmund avatar Jan 01 '22 12:01 MartinZikmund

So, my plans to implement Bluetooth for Android will be done by someone else? :)

pkar70 avatar Jan 01 '22 18:01 pkar70

@pkar70 ah sorry. But it is not necessarily the case, as for the thesis itself only a subset of the API will be implemented (and maybe only specific platforms) - will see later when the thesis abstract is ready.

I welcome work done by others :) It saves my time :) By the way, can you return to this: "MartinZikmund commented on Jul 21, 2021 Let's close this one and fast track #2536 instead" (in #5349)? Fast track, half a year :)

Where can I follow the progress on this and potentially help out?

Same question from my side. I can quickly publish PR with many BT structs, as I have them ready for some time.

pkar70 avatar Apr 04 '22 10:04 pkar70

@Arlodotexe @pkar70 I know @DZetko has started on this, but not sure what is the current status. However, as this is a bachelor thesis, he should ideally be mostly working on it alone (although I am pretty sure the scope will be a specific platform target)

MartinZikmund avatar Apr 05 '22 10:04 MartinZikmund

Do you know WHAT "scope will be a specific platform"? Maybe someone other can start work for another platform. And many structs should be universal (for all platforms). Maybe he can make PR from such structs. Or use them from #8505. And maybe, after three months (as this issue is from Jan 1st), something is already ready, and can be published?

What is current state of this bachelor thesis?

pkar70 avatar Aug 21 '22 06:08 pkar70

🙋 I'd also like to know

Same here, Bluetooth support is the heart of our project and without it we can only support Windows.

What is your requirements (for functionality)? Some functionality for Android, as e.g. get paired devices list, sending / receiving data with such devices, I can implement in relatively short time.

Interesting @MartinZikmund. Is there any test of this library used within a Uno app?

@igiona I haven't tested it personally yet, but it should work ok on the supported targets!
