How can I know bluetooth activity?

[personal_aj]

Hi to all,
My question is if there are ANY API to know if bluetooh is activated AND it has any activity (send/receive data).

I found this code from Symbian Place:

-----------------------------------------------------
//Define buffer for the number of connected devices
TPckgBuf<TInt> theDevNo;

// Get the number of ACL links
TInt err = iSocket.GetOpt(KLMGetACLLinkCount, KSolBtLM, theDevNo);
------------------------------------------------------

but is only for Symbian 7.0 or higher, and I need an N-Gage solution!!!!

Please, help!!

I would also like to know, how I can prompt the user
that BT is not activated on the mobile device
and whether the program can switch it on.

I have seen a notifier with the following text:
"Bluetooth is currently switched off. Switch on?" "yes, no"

Thanks

did you find any answer to your question.

I am just trying to do the same

1- find out if BT is activated
2 - prompt the user if he wants to activate BT
3 - activate BT

Yes, finally, i found it:

Q1.- Is Bluetooth active and in use?
----------------------------------------------------------

I used the following code for Symbian 7:

//Define buffer for the number of connected devices
TPckgBuf<TInt> theDevNo;

// Get the number of ACL links
TInt err = iSocket.GetOpt(KLMGetACLLinkCount, KSolBtLM, theDevNo);

I tested the code over Symbian 6.1(N-Gage), and works ok! (symbian backported,it's common)

----------------------------------------------------------
Q2,3. Prompt and activate?
----------------------------------------------------------
You must call RNotifier with KPowerModeSettingNotifierUid flag:

#define KPowerModeSettingNotifierUid 0x100059E2

It will show the question: Turn on bluetooth? to the user, and activate it (if the user select yes).


Hope it helps you.

[fredfast]

thank you for your answer.
That helps.

[fredfast]

by the way is there a list somewhere of the notifierUid developer can use ?

[fredfast]

other question : is there a way to turn it off ?

For getting various notifications you can use RSystemAgent class. Some of the constant you can use there are in sacls.h, but unfortunately not all....:-(

I'm sure that for example IrDA is present, but I'm not sure about BT...

How to use this stuff is shown for example here:

thanks a lot guys.

In this example...

//Define buffer for the number of connected devices
TPckgBuf<TInt> theDevNo;

// Get the number of ACL links
TInt err = iSocket.GetOpt(KLMGetACLLinkCount, KSolBtLM, theDevNo);


Do i need to Connect the iSocket before using it..as my program leaves on the line :-

TInt err = iSocket.GetOpt(KLMGetACLLinkCount, KSolBtLM, theDevNo);


Whats wrong in it..i am trying to get it working on Series60 3rd Edition.
