How do I fix the deprecation warning in this code? Alternatively, are there any other options for doing this?
val mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter()
if (mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled) {}
As you can see here, they now recommend this:
val bluetoothManager = context.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE) as BluetoothManager
bluetoothManager.getAdapter()
The reason seems to be that BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter()
ignores Context, while more complex apps might need to explicitly reference the correct Context and use Context.createAttributionContext.
Not a good reason to deprecate it in my opinion, as I can't think of a realistic/frequent usecase where the BluetoothAdapter needs to be based on a tagged Context. They should have just left both options (Context based and default) in without deprecation.
