QBluetoothSocket

Since: 1.2

#include <QtConnectivity/QBluetoothSocket>

More information will be added here shortly. For now, you'll find more extensive information about this class in the Qt reference for QBluetoothSocket

The QBluetoothSocket class provides a Bluetooth socket.

QBluetoothSocket supports two socket types, {QBluetoothSocket::L2capSocket}{L2CAP} and {QBluetoothSocket::RfcommSocket}{RFCOMM}.

{QBluetoothSocket::L2capSocket}{L2CAP} is a low level datagram-oriented Bluetooth socket.

{QBluetoothSocket::RfcommSocket}{RFCOMM} is a reliable, stream-oriented socket. RFCOMM sockets emulate an RS-232 serial port.

To create a connection to a Bluetooth service create a socket of the appropriate type and call connectToService() passing the Bluetooth address and port number. QBluetoothSocket will emit the connected() signal when the connection is established.

SocketState

This enum describes the state of the Bluetooth socket.

UnconnectedState Socket is not connected. ServiceLookupState Socket is querying connection parameters. ConnectingState Socket is attempting to connect to a device. ConnectedState Socket is connected to a device. BoundState 242.nmp.nokia.com _IceTransSocketUNIXConnect: Cannot connect to non-local host saisd Socket is bound to a local address and port. ClosingState Socket is connected and will be closed once all pending data is written to the socket. ListeningState Socket is listening for incoming connections.

Public Functions

QBluetoothSocket (
SocketTypesocketType,
QObject *parent )

Constructs a Bluetooth socket of socketType type, with parent.

QBluetoothSocket (
QObject *parent)

Constructs a Bluetooth socket with parent.

virtual~QBluetoothSocket ()

Destructor.

void abort ()

Aborts the current connection and resets the socket.

See also:

disconnectFromService(), close()

virtual qint64 bytesAvailable ()

Returns the number of incoming bytes that are waiting to be read.

See also:

bytesToWrite(), read()

virtual qint64 bytesToWrite ()

Returns the number of bytes that are waiting to be written.

The bytes are written when control goes back to the event loop.

virtual bool canReadLine ()

Returns true if you can read at least one line from the device.

virtual void close ()

Disconnects the socket's connection with the device.

void connectToService (
const QBluetoothServiceInfo &service,
OpenModeopenMode )

Attempts to connect to the service described by service.

The socket is opened in the given openMode.

The socket first enters ConnectingState and attempts to connect to the device providing service. If a connection is established, QBluetoothSocket enters ConnectedState and emits connected().

At any point, the socket can emit error() to siganl that an error occurred.

See also:

state(), disconnectFromService()

void connectToService (
const QBluetoothAddress &address,
const QBluetoothUuid &uuid,
OpenModeopenMode )

Attempts to make a connection to the service identified by uuid on the device with address address.

The socket is opened in the given openMode.

The socket first enters the ServiceLookupState and queries the connection parameters for uuid. If the service parameters are successfully retrieved the socket enters ConnectingState, and attempts to connect to address. If a connection is established, QBluetoothSocket enters Connected State and emits connected().

At any point, the socket can emit error() to signal that an error occurred.

See also:

state(), disconnectFromService()

void connectToService (
const QBluetoothAddress &address,
quint16port,
OpenModeopenMode )

Attempts to make a connection with address on the given port.

The socket is opened in the given openMode.

The socket first enters ConnectingState, and attempts to connect to address. If a connection is established, QBluetoothSocket enters ConnectedState and emits connected().

At any point, the socket can emit error() to signal that an error occurred.

See also:

state(), disconnectFromService()

void disconnectFromService ()

Attempts to close the socket.

If there is pending data waiting to be written QBluetoothSocket will enter ClosingState and wait until all data has been written. Eventually, it will enter UnconnectedState and emit the disconnected() signal.

See also:

connectToService()

SocketError error ()

Returns the last error.

QString errorString ()

Returns a user displayable text string for the error.

virtual bool isSequential ()

QBluetoothAddress localAddress ()
