Android Bluetooth

Android Bluetooth is a platform feature that enables wireless communication between Android devices and other Bluetooth-enabled hardware, such as headphones, speakers, keyboards, and IoT devices. It provides APIs for developers to implement Bluetooth Classic (RFCOMM, SPP) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionalities, including device discovery, pairing, data transfer, and GATT services. This allows apps to create connected experiences, from audio streaming to sensor data exchange.

Also known as: Android BT, Android Bluetooth API, Bluetooth on Android, Android BLE, Android Bluetooth Low Energy
