How to get the list of bonded bluetooth devices in a friendly name

I am trying to get the list of the bonded bluetooth devices on the phone. My problem is that I am getting it in a "non friendly" way. Here is my code:

BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
    Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
    ArrayList<String> listview = 
        new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(pairedDevices.toString()));

I'm getting: 00:23:7f:5f:fe:1c...

How can i get the friendly names and not numbers?

Just to add that I know about getname(), but as I understand its only for a connected device and not for the bonded devices.

Solution

  • the getName() method of the BluetoothDevice device class will help you out. Just iterate through the Set and call the getName() method on each BluetoothDevice object.
