17 \class QBluetoothLocalDevice
18 \inmodule QtBluetooth
19 \brief The QBluetoothLocalDevice class enables access to the local Bluetooth
20 device.
21
22 \since 5.2
23
24 QBluetoothLocalDevice provides functions for getting and setting the state of local Bluetooth
25 devices.
26
27 On iOS, this class cannot be used because the platform does not expose
28 any data or API which may provide information on the local Bluetooth device.

31/*!
32 \enum QBluetoothLocalDevice::Pairing
33
34 This enum describes the pairing state between the two Bluetooth devices.
35
36 \value Unpaired The Bluetooth devices are not paired.
37 \value Paired The Bluetooth devices are paired. The system will prompt the user for
38 authorization when the remote device initiates a connection to the
39 local device.
40 \value AuthorizedPaired The Bluetooth devices are paired. The system will not prompt the user
41 for authorization when the remote device initiates a connection to the
42 local device.

46 \enum QBluetoothLocalDevice::Error

48 This enum describes errors that maybe returned
49
50 \value NoError No known error
51 \value PairingError Error in pairing
52 \value [since 6.4] MissingPermissionsError The operating system requests
53 permissions which were not

60 \enum QBluetoothLocalDevice::HostMode
61
62 This enum describes the most of the local Bluetooth device.
63
64 \value HostPoweredOff Power off the device
65 \value HostConnectable Remote Bluetooth devices can connect to the local Bluetooth device
66 if they have previously been paired with it or otherwise know its address. This powers up the
67 device if it was powered off.
68 \value HostDiscoverable Remote Bluetooth devices can discover the presence of the local
69 Bluetooth device. The device will also be connectable, and powered on. On Android, this mode can only be active
70 for a maximum of 5 minutes.
71 \value HostDiscoverableLimitedInquiry Remote Bluetooth devices can discover the presence of the local
72 Bluetooth device when performing a limited inquiry. This should be used for locating services that are
73 only made discoverable for a limited period of time. This can speed up discovery between gaming devices,
74 as service discovery can be skipped on devices not in LimitedInquiry mode. In this mode, the device will
75 be connectable and powered on, if required. This mode is is not supported on Android.
76
77 \note On \macos, it is not possible to set the \l hostMode(). The
78 reported host modes are limited to HostPoweredOff and HostConnectable.
79
80 \note On Windows, it is not possible to set the \l hostMode() to
81 HostDiscoverable or HostDiscoverableLimitedInquiry. Using these modes is
82 equivalent to HostConnectable.
83
84 \note On HarmonyOS, changing the power state of the adapter always raises a
85 system dialog that the user must answer. The request therefore completes
86 asynchronously and may be declined, in which case \l errorOccurred() is
87 emitted and the host mode is left unchanged. HostDiscoverableLimitedInquiry
88 is not given a timeout on this platform, so the device stays discoverable
89 until the host mode is changed again, and the adapter reports itself back
90 as \l {QBluetoothLocalDevice::}{HostDiscoverable}.
91
92 \note Starting from Android 13 (API level 33) the HostPoweredOff state relies on
93 non-public Android API as the public one has been deprecated, see
94 (\l {https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothAdapter#disable()}
95 {disable()}). This may change in a future version of Android.
96
97 \note At least on Android 12 the device's Bluetooth visibility setting may dictate the result
98 of setting either HostDiscoverable or HostConnectable. For example if the visibility is set
99 \e off, it may not be possible to enter the HostDiscoverable mode, but HostConnectable will be
100 used instead. This may change in future version of Android.

165 confirmation before turning Bluetooth on or off and not all host modes may be supported.
166 On \macos, it is not possbile to programmatically change the \l hostMode().
167 A user can only switch Bluetooth on/off in the System Preferences.

263 On Android and \macos, it is not possible to retrieve a list of connected devices. It is only possible to
