[android-developers] Re: get last connected bluetooth device

I don't see an API for this, but if you can add your own BroadcastReceiver to listen for ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED, and ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED you can at least maintain your own list of connected devices, and keep track yourself of which was last connected at the (low) ACL level. It is a broadcast, after all, so you can register your own receiver for it without worrying about interfering with or interference from Android's own receiver(s) for the same Intent.

If that is too low level for you, then you will need a different procedure. If you have only IPC proxies you are concerned with, it is even easier (use BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener). But you did not even tell us whether your device is the BluetoothSocketServer or not, so I cannot describe any of these other procedures.

But you are right that  BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED does not help you in this problem: that Intent is far too coarse, only telling you when the whole adapter's state has changed (e.g. on/off): connection of remote devices is not considered part of the whole adapter's state.

Hi Community,

how do I get the last connected / paired bluetooth device when bluetooth is being turned off?
As far as I can see, I cannot access the last connected device listening to the BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED broadcast.
Neither can I get something work with BluetoothAdapter.STATE_TURNING_OFF.

How would I get device name and device address of the last connected bluetooth device when bluetooth is turned off?

Thanks!
