Enable Bluetooth directly from app. about ble

[EddyVerbruggen]

AFAIK that's not allowed.

@EddyVerbruggen In android, apps can enable bluetooth. It shows up a prompt that user can choose allow or deny from. I think that's better then opening up notifications and then enabling Bluetooth.

[EddyVerbruggen]

Ah interesting. Can you share an app that does that, or even better, point me at the relevant docs/code?

[aaayushsingh]

@EddyVerbruggen
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(); mBluetoothAdapter.enable();

we'll need these permissions in manifest for native android applications
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

solution from this page.

Here's the official documentation .

here's a screenshot.

Also, can you guide me on how to implement this? I'd like to do this one on my own, and then a PR maybe.

[EddyVerbruggen]

PR #44 that adds this feature has just been merged. You can expect a new version on npm soon.

[aaayushsingh]

@EddyVerbruggen mind if I implement this in the Bluetooth demo app?

[EddyVerbruggen]

@aaayushsingh Ha, thanks for offering but I'm working on a better implementation of this feature and also have an updated version of the demo app locally. Expecting to push it in a few hours!

[EddyVerbruggen]

@aaayushsingh The demo has been updated and 1.2.0 has been published.

[aaayushsingh]

So now I can boast in front of my friends about my first real PR getting merged.

Thanks.

[EddyVerbruggen]

Yes sir you can! Thanks so much, and I hope this is the first of many to any repo out there 👍 👍
