This is the Android Studio project that implements all the logic to use Bluetooth LTE from Godot. Checkout the Godot demo to see a working example.
This versions have been tested:
- Android Studio: Bumblebee 2021.1.1 Patch 1
- Godot: 3.4.4
- Android: 11
To use the module functions on your scripts, start the module as follows:
var bluetooth
func _ready():
if Engine.has_singleton("GodotBluetooth344"):
GodotBluetooth344 = Engine.get_singleton("GodotBluetooth344")_on_debug_message
GodotBluetooth344.connect("_on_debug_message", self, "_on_debug_message")This signal sends extra information from the Android Plugin.
Received arguments:
- string: Debug message
_on_device_found
GodotBluetooth344.connect("_on_device_found", self, "_on_device_found")This signal is called every time a new device is found.
Received arguments:
- dictionary: Represents the information of the device, has the following keys:
- address: MAC address of the device
- name: Name of the device
- rssi: Signal strength of the device in dBm
- manufacturerData: Scan Record of the device
_on_bluetooth_status_change
GodotBluetooth344.connect("_on_bluetooth_status_change", self, "_on_bluetooth_status_change")This signal is called every time the Bluetooth Status is changed (e.g. changes from On to Off)
Received arguments:
- string: Represents the current status of the Bluetooth Adapter, can have the following values:
- on
- turning_on
- off
- turning_off
_on_location_status_change
GodotBluetooth344.connect("_on_location_status_change", self, "_on_location_status_change")This signal is called every time the Location Status is changed (e.g. changes from On to Off)
Received arguments:
- string: Represents the current status of the Location Adapter, can have the following values:
- on
- off
_on_connection_status_change
GodotBluetooth344.connect("_on_connection_status_change", self, "_on_connection_status_change")This signal is called every time the Connection Status is changed (e.g. changes from Connected to Disconnected)
Received arguments:
- string: Represents the current status of the Connection Status, can have the following values:
- connected
- disconnected
- Other value, this means an error, check https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothGatt.html#constants_2 for more information
_on_characteristic_found
GodotBluetooth344.connect("_on_characteristic_found", self, "_on_characteristic_found")This signal is called every time the we discover a characteristic
Received arguments:
- dictionary: Represents the information of the characteristic, it has the following values:
- service_uuid: The serice UUID
- characteristic_uuid: The characteristic UUID
- real_mask: The mask of the characteristic, for more information check: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothGattCharacteristic.html#getProperties()
- readable: If this characteristic is readable
- writable: If this characteristic is writable
- writable_no_response: If this characteristic is writable with no response
_on_characteristic_finding
GodotBluetooth344.connect("_on_characteristic_finding", self, "_on_characteristic_finding")This signal is called every time we are querying for characteristics. Note that you cannot use any characteristic that has not been discovered before.
Received arguments:
- string: Represents the current status of the finding characteristics, it can have the following values:
- processing
- done
_on_characteristic_read
GodotBluetooth344.connect("_on_characteristic_read", self, "_on_characteristic_read")This signal is called every time other device writes to this characteristic.
Note: You can use PoolByteArray to transform the bytes to string:
var string = PoolByteArray(data.bytes).get_string_from_utf8()Received arguments:
- dictionary: Represents the data written to the characteristic, it has the following values:
- service_uuid: The serice UUID
- characteristic_uuid: The characteristic UUID
- bytes: They raw bytes of the payload
reportDuplicates When set true, devices previously found in a scan will be reported with _on_device_found.
scan
GodotBluetooth344.scan()Starts a scan. The results will be delivered by the _on_device_found signal.
Arguments:
- No arguments
Returns:
- Nothing
stopScan
GodotBluetooth344.stopScan()Stops a scan if there is one in progress.
Arguments:
- No arguments
Returns:
- Nothing
hasLocationPermissions
GodotBluetooth344.hasLocationPermissions()Checks if we have location permissions.
Arguments:
- No arguments
Returns:
- boolean: If we have location permissions, values: * true: We have location permissions * false: We do not have location permissions
locationStatus
GodotBluetooth344.locationStatus()Arguments:
- No arguments
Returns:
- boolean: If the location is On, values: * true: Location is On * false: Location is Off
connect
GodotBluetooth344.connect(address)Connects to a given device. The result will be delivered by the _on_connection_status_change signal.
Arguments:
- address: A string representing the MAC address of the other device
Returns:
- Nothing
disconnect
GodotBluetooth344.disconnect()Disconnects from current device. The result will be delivered by the _on_connection_status_change signal.
Arguments:
- No arguments
Returns:
- Nothing
listServicesAndCharacteristics
GodotBluetooth344.listServicesAndCharacteristics()Lists all services and characteristics from the connected device. The result will be delivered by the _on_characteristic_found signal.
Note: You cna check if we are still reading characreistics using the _on_characteristic_finding signal.
Arguments:
- No arguments
Returns:
- Nothing
subscribeToCharacteristic
GodotBluetooth344.subscribeToCharacteristic(service_uuid, read_uuid)Subscribes to a characteristic. From now on, any write to that characteristic will be delivered by the signal _on_characteristic_read.
