If an Android app wants to access bluetooth, does it have to explicitly ask the user to switch bluetooth on? Could the user authorise the app to switch it on (and off) whenever it wants?
- i don't know if you can do something like that, but i think if you can maybe it's will be security issue.NoXSaeeD– NoXSaeeD2014-05-27 10:12:15 +00:00Commented May 27, 2014 at 10:12

NO need to ask switch it you manually, you can just ask for permission also you need to add permissions in android manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED" /> code for enabling BT
// enable device discovery - this will automatically enable Bluetooth Intent discoveryIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE); discoveryIntent.putExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_DISCOVERABLE_DURATION, DISCOVER_DURATION); startActivityForResult(discoveryIntent, REQUEST_BLU); 2 Comments

I guess following code should disable it BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(); if (mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()){ mBluetoothAdapter.disable(); }
