How to detect Headset(any Kind of weather BT or normal ) presence

[gkpl]

Hello,
I want to detect Headset(any Kind of weather BT or normal ) presence in my symbian 5th ed. Application. i want to check it's presence at some specific time so i would not need to use AO. how to do so.
i found some code at
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...hlight=headset

TBool CMyConnector::IsBtOn()
{
RHostResolver hr;
if (hr.Open(iSocketServ, KBTAddrFamily, KBTLinkManager) == KErrNone)
{
hr.Close();
iObserver->Log()->Write(_L("BT is on"));
return true;
}

iObserver->Log()->Write(_L("BT is off"));
return false;
}

but i think it returns the status of BT(On/Off) not the presence of Headset (may be BT is on but Headset may not be present).

one more thing is that should i check the profile (if Headset would be connected then Headset profile should be active)

Thanks

On 5th edition, headset and accessory detection in general can be done through the Accessory Monitor API, for example:

iAccMonitor = CAccMonitor::NewL();
RConnectedAccessories connectedAccessories;
CleanupClosePushL(connectedAccessories);
iAccMonitor->GetConnectedAccessoriesL(connectedAccessories);
TInt count = connectedAccessories.Count();
for(TInt i = 0; i < count; i++)
   {
   TAccMonCapability type = connectedAccessories[i]->AccDeviceType();
   if(type == KAccMonHeadset)
      {
      User::InfoPrint(_L("Found a headset!"));
      }
   }
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(&connectedAccessories);
