flutter_bluetooth_serial
Flutter basic implementation for Classical Bluetooth (only RFCOMM for now).
Features
The first goal of this project, started by @edufolly was making an interface for Serial Port Protocol (HC-05 Adapter). Now the plugin features:
-
Adapter status monitoring,
-
Turning adapter on and off,
-
Opening settings,
-
Discovering devices (and requesting discoverability),
-
Listing bonded devices and pairing new ones,
-
Connecting to multiple devices at the same time,
-
Sending and receiving data (multiple connections).
The plugin (for now) uses Serial Port profile for moving data over RFCOMM, so make sure there is running Service Discovery Protocol that points to SP/RFCOMM channel of the device. There could be max up to 7 Bluetooth connections.
For now there is only Android support.
Getting Started
Depending
# Add dependency to `pubspec.yaml` of your project.
dependencies:
# ...
flutter_bluetooth_serial: ^0.3.2
Installing
# With pub manager
pub get
# or with Flutter
flutter pub get
Importing
import 'package:flutter_bluetooth_serial/flutter_bluetooth_serial.dart';
Usage
You should look to the Dart code of the library (mostly documented functions) or to the examples code.
// Some simplest connection :F
try {
BluetoothConnection connection = await BluetoothConnection.toAddress(address);
print('Connected to the device');
connection.input.listen((Uint8List data) {
print('Data incoming: ${ascii.decode(data)}');
connection.output.add(data); // Sending data
if (ascii.decode(data).contains('!')) {
connection.finish(); // Closing connection
print('Disconnecting by local host');
}
}).onDone(() {
print('Disconnected by remote request');
});
}
catch (exception) {
print('Cannot connect, exception occured');
}
Note: Work is underway to make the communication easier than operations on byte streams. See #41 for discussion about the topic.
Examples
Check out example application with connections with both Arduino HC-05 and Raspberry Pi (RFCOMM) Bluetooth interfaces.

To-do list
- Add some utils to easier manage
BluetoothConnection
(see discussion #41), - Allow connection method/protocol/UUID specification,
- Listening/server mode,
- Recognizing and displaying
BluetoothClass
of device, - Maybe integration with
flutter_blue
one day ;)
