Any used chrome cordova bluetooth

[Chandrayee Basu]

Hi 

Does anyone have an example of using this Chrome.bluetooth plugin: https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/cordova-plugin-chrome-apps-bluetooth ? I am trying to understand how to write a javascript for the index.html for this plugin. Is there a documentation for using plugins in general, also?

Thanks

Chandrayee

The documentation for the api is the same as for desktop, and the github repos for these plugins (See [1][2][3] below) point to the docs.  There are no additional comments in this particular plugins, but often we document amendments to the apis in our github repos.

Good luck!

Hi Michal

Here is my code within index.html to call the bluetooth methods. The goal is to start discovery on a button click.

<script type="text/javascript">

    function init() {

        $("#btn-bt-discover").click(function(){

            bluetooth.startDiscovery(onSuccess)

        });

    }

    $(document).on("deviceready",init);

</script>

This code does not function properly. I was expecting the phone bluetooth to turn on. I am new to javascript and html. May be I am doing something wrong. Any suggestion?

[Michal Mocny]

I would start by scanning the console for errors, and also suggest you add alert() (or console.log) to make sure the events fire, and to see if onSuccess is called.

Also note that startDiscovery callback is called on failure as well as success, so you should check the value of the arguments.

I've used cordova bluetooth for interacting with bluetooth low energy devices to great success on android + iOS.  The scanning code is here:

Please note that bluetooth LE discovery and bluetooth discovery are completely separate.  One thing Chandrayee - you need to use `chrome.bluetooth.*`, not `bluetooth.*` AFAIK.

Bobby, thanks for the link. I will try these out. Michal, I logged the error messages. Actually the event chrome.bluetooth.startDiscovery() fires, but there is not corresponding error log. 

Best
