getting started with computer (linux) based bluetooth device making it discoverable for surrounding phones


I am looking for a basic code example, or even better a corresponding tutorial, for a program taking advantage of the local bluetooth hardware to act as one (or more) bluetooth device which can then be discovered/seen/talked to by a nearby phone/device which has bluetooth capability without the need to install a corresponding app, as phones normally already have a bluetooth manager listing nearby devices which I want to use.

I already dug into Bluecove and some other semingly corresponding answers. But either there is no entry level documentation or only code is provided.

Any entry level code base, tutorial or helpful pointers would be greatly appreciated.

  • googling for it I found https://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2004/07/27/bluetooth.html which seems to answer your question perfectly.
