Provides classes that manage Bluetooth functionality, such as scanning for devices, connecting with devices, and managing data transfer between devices.

The Bluetooth APIs let applications:

- Scan for other Bluetooth devices
- Query the local Bluetooth adapter for paired Bluetooth devices
- Establish RFCOMM channels/sockets
- Connect to specified sockets on other devices
- Transfer data to and from other devices

To perform Bluetooth communication using these APIs, an application must declare the {@link android.Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH} permission. Some additional functionality, such as requesting device discovery, also requires the {@link android.Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_ADMIN} permission.

For a detailed guide to using the Bluetooth APIs, see the Bluetooth Dev Guide topic.

Note: Not all Android devices are guaranteed to have Bluetooth functionality.
