connect method

Future<bool> connect()

Initiates a connection scanning procedure.

The phone will first scan for the device with the given deviceName. Then, if found, it will try to connect. Different ConnectionEvent events of type

• ConnectionType.device_found
• ConnectionType.device_not_found
• ConnectionType.connected

are fired at different stages of the procedure.

Returns true if scanning is started is successful, ´false` otherwise.

Always make sure to disconnect the device when you don’t need it anymore. Failing to do so can drain the battery significantly.

Implementation

Future<bool> connect() async {
  _eventStream = null;
  _sensorStream = null;

  return await _eSenseManagerMethodChannel.invokeMethod<bool?>(
          'connect', <String, dynamic>{'name': deviceName}) ??
      false;
}
