flutter_blue_classic
Flutter_blue_classic is a flutter plugin for communicating with bluetooth classic devices.
If you want to use an Bluetooth low energy (BLE) device, you might want to
consider flutter_blue_plus.
A note on iOS
This plugin is currently only compatible with Android. iOS does not provide a similar interface for
Bluetooth Classic like Android does. On iOS your BL device must
be MFi (Made for iPod/iPhone)
certified and you will have to use
the External Accessory Framework.
Since this is out of the scope of this package, you will have to implement this yourself.
Getting Started
minSdkVersion
This package is only compatible with Android SDK 21 or higher. Please set your minSdkVersion in the
android/app/build.gradle accordingly.
Permissions
As the Android permission requirements can differ from case to case, this package does not define
any
permissions in it's Manifest. It is therefore necessary to declare them yourself. For detailed
information, take a look at
the Android Developer Documentation on Permissions.
Below are two common presets:
Without location access
In the android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml add:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="28" />
With location access
In the android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml add:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="28" />
Then pass the accessFineLocation parameter when initializing the plugin:
final blueClassic = FlutterBlueClassic(usesFineLocation: true);
