Android Question With no BT adapter: If admin_BT.Enable = False Then

[swChef]

Erel, on a Kindle Fire which does not have a BT adapter, with the following conditional
If admin_BT.Enable = False Then
xxx
Else
yyy
the software goes to the Else clause. I would expect without a BT an attempt to enable would be rejected, meaning it would = False, and take the Then clause.

?

If you are writing B4A software that can utilise BT if it is there, but does not require it to operate, detecting BT or not is a very useful thing. I am very keen to see what Erel suggests as a solution.

The Android Bluetooth page suggests the following snippet:

BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (mBluetoothAdapter == null) {
    // Device does not support Bluetooth
}

But I could not see an equivalent member of the BTAdmin class.

You should check Serial.IsEnabled.
