Managing the Bluetooth Service

Learning how to enable or disable the Bluetooth service and add a device name is a basic Bluetooth management skill:

1. Retrieve a BluetoothAdapter object with the getDefaultAdapter() method:

   var adapter = webapis.bluetooth.getDefaultAdapter();
   

2. Enable or disable the Bluetooth adapter using the setPowered() method:

   /* Enable Bluetooth */
   adapter.setPowered(true, function() 
   {
      console.log("Bluetooth powered on successfully.");
   });
   
   /* Disable Bluetooth */
   adapter.setPowered(false, function() 
   {
      webapis.application.exit();
   });
   

3. Give the device a unique name by using the setName() method.

   The name helps to recognize devices in a list of retrieved active devices.

   adapter.setName(chatServerName);
