How to get the bluetooth name/id of Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch web application

Question

I am trying to get the bluetooth name/id in a tizen web-application running on Gear S3. On the watch, this information can be found - Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth -> Bluetooth Gear S3(AAA1).

I want the AAA1 value programmatically. Is there any method or API to get the value in a tizen web-application ?

Answer 1

Invoke the discoverDevices function, You will find the BluetoothDevice interface on the succesCallback parameter.

BluetoothDevice interface represents a remote Bluetooth device having the propertoes:

DOMString name;

BluetoothAddress address;

BluetoothClass deviceClass;

boolean isBonded;

boolean isTrusted;

boolean isConnected;

BluetoothUUID[] uuids;

name is the property you are looking for. In your case the name is: 'Gear S3(AAA1)'

var adapter = tizen.bluetooth.getDefaultAdapter();

var discoverDevicesSuccessCallback = {
        ondevicefound: function(device) {
            alert('Found device - name: ' + device.name);
        }
    };

adapter.discoverDevices(discoverDevicesSuccessCallback, null);

Add 'bluetooth.gap' privilege (for Tizen 2.3.2 and below) or 'bluetooth' privilege (for Tizen 3.0 and above) in your config.xml:

<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/bluetooth.gap"/>  // <=2.3.2
<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/bluetooth"/>     // >=3.0

Additionally, If you need only 'AAA1' instead of 'Gear S3 (AAA1)', May try a little Regular Expression and split.

var deviceName = "Gear S3 (AAA1)";                  // Gear S3 (AAA1)
var removePrts = deviceName.replace(/[()]/g,'');    // Gear S3 AAA1
var shortName = removePrts.split(' ');              // Gear,S3,AAA1
alert(shortName[2]);                                // AAA1
