Bluetooth plugin for Flutter

pub package


FlutterBlue



Introduction #

FlutterBlue is a bluetooth plugin for Flutter, a new mobile SDK to help developers build modern apps for iOS and Android.

Cross-Platform Bluetooth LE #

FlutterBlue aims to offer the most from both platforms (iOS and Android).

Using the FlutterBlue instance, you can scan for and connect to nearby devices (BluetoothDevice). Once connected to a device, the BluetoothDevice object can discover services (BluetoothService), characteristics (BluetoothCharacteristic), and descriptors (BluetoothDescriptor). The BluetoothDevice object is then used to directly interact with characteristics and descriptors.

Usage #

Obtain an instance #

FlutterBlue flutterBlue = FlutterBlue.instance;

Scan for devices #

/// Start scanning
var scanSubscription = flutterBlue.scan().listen((scanResult) {
    // do something with scan result
});

/// Stop scanning
scanSubscription.cancel();

Connect to a device #

/// Create a connection to the device
var deviceConnection = flutterBlue.connect(device).listen((s) {
    if(s == BluetoothDeviceState.connected) {
        // device is connected, do something
    }
});

/// Disconnect from device
deviceConnection.cancel();

Discover services #

List<BluetoothService> services = await device.discoverServices();
services.forEach((service) {
    // do something with service
});

Read and write characteristics #

// Reads all characteristics
var characteristics = service.characteristics;
for(BluetoothCharacteristic c in characteristics) {
    List<int> value = await device.readCharacteristic(c);
    print(value);
}

// Writes to a characteristic
await device.writeCharacteristic(c, [0x12, 0x34])

Read and write descriptors #

// Reads all descriptors
var descriptors = characteristic.descriptors;
for(BluetoothDescriptor d in descriptors) {
    List<int> value = await device.readDescriptor(d);
    print(value);
}

// Writes to a descriptor
await device.writeDescriptor(d, [0x12, 0x34])

Set notifications #

await device.setNotifyValue(characteristic, true);
device.onValueChanged(characteristic).listen((value) {
    // do something with new value
});

writeCharacteristic Writes the value of a characteristic.
writeDescriptor Writes the value of a descriptor.
setNotifyValue Sets notifications or indications on the specified characteristic.
onValueChanged Notifies when the characteristic's value has changed.
state Gets the current state of the Bluetooth Device.
onStateChanged Notifies of state changes for the Bluetooth Device.
