How to get the bluetooth devices as a list?

I am trying to get my bonded bluetooth devices but I can get it as a long string instead of list.

This is my code:

BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
ArrayList<String> listview = 
new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(pairedDevices.toString()));
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list, listview));

I am getting something like this: [00:23:7F:1c, f0:09:f1:b4:b0]. And its all in one line. How can I change it to be in a list and not all in one line?

Also, how can I get the friendly names of the devices and not these numbers?

Thanks!!!

Here is how I did it inside a fragment :

val bluetoothManager = this.activity?.getSystemService(AppCompatActivity.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE) as BluetoothManager
val bluetoothAdapter = bluetoothManager.adapter
val pairedButton = view.findViewById<Button>(R.id.pairedButton)

pairedButton.setOnClickListener {

        if (bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled) {

           if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S) {

                    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
                            (activity as MainActivity),
                            Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT
                        ) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
                    ) {
                        Log.d(tag,"checkSelfPermission()")
                    }

                    } else {

                        // TODO("VERSION.SDK_INT < S")
                    }

                val pairedDevices: Set<BluetoothDevice>? = bluetoothAdapter.bondedDevices
                val pairedList = view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.pairedDevTextView)
                pairedList.text = null
                pairedDevices?.forEach { device ->
                    // use 'name' or 'alias' (for edited name) 
                    val deviceName = device.alias
                    val deviceHardwareAddress = device.address // MAC address
                    pairedList.append("\nDevice: $deviceName\nMAC: $deviceHardwareAddress\n")
                }

        } else {

            Toast.makeText(context,"Bluetooth Not Enabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }

}

Here is an easy way to do it in Kotlin:

BluetoothActivity.kt

import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice
import android.os.Bundle
import android.view.View
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.Toast
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity


class BluetoothActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

private var mBTArrayAdapter: ArrayAdapter<String>? = null
private var mBTAdapter: BluetoothAdapter? = null
private var mPairedDevices: Set<BluetoothDevice>? = null

private var mListPairedDevicesBtn: Button? = null

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_bluetooth)

    mBTArrayAdapter = ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1)
    mBTAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter()

    mListPairedDevicesBtn = findViewById<View>(R.id.paired_btn) as Button

    mListPairedDevicesBtn!!.setOnClickListener { listPairedDevices() }

}

private fun listPairedDevices() {
    mBTArrayAdapter?.clear()
    mPairedDevices = mBTAdapter?.bondedDevices
    if (mBTAdapter?.isEnabled == true) {
        for (device in mPairedDevices!!) mBTArrayAdapter?.add(device.name + "\n" + device.address)
    } else Toast.makeText(applicationContext,
        "Please Switch On The Bluetooth First",
        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}

}

The list view:

<Button
        android:id="@+id/paired_btn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Show Paired Devices"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:textSize="16sp"/>

Please tell me if it works for you!

Find list of Nearby Bluetooth Devices:

Find Screenshot for the same.

enter image description here

MainActivity.java:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    private ListView listView;
    private ArrayList<String> mDeviceList = new ArrayList<String>();
    private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);

        mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
        mBluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();

        IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
        registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);

    }


    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
        super.onDestroy();
    }

    private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            String action = intent.getAction();
            if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
                BluetoothDevice device = intent
                        .getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
                mDeviceList.add(device.getName() + "\n" + device.getAddress());
                Log.i("BT", device.getName() + "\n" + device.getAddress());
                listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(context,
                        android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mDeviceList));
            }
        }
    };

activity_main.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    <ListView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/listView"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.bluetoothdemo"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Note:

Please make sure that you ask Location permission to your user and turn GPS On.

Reason: From Android 6.0 you need Location permission for Bluetooth Discovery.

In this code you just need to call this in your button click.

private void list_paired_Devices() {
        Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
        ArrayList<String> devices = new ArrayList<>();
        for (BluetoothDevice bt : pairedDevices) {
            devices.add(bt.getName() + "\n" + bt.getAddress());
        }
        ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(bluetooth.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, devices);
        emp.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
    }

You should change your code as below:

BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();

List<String> s = new ArrayList<String>();
for(BluetoothDevice bt : pairedDevices)
   s.add(bt.getName());

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list, s));
