OMG! Thank you much for touching the Bluetooth topic, really hard to find a good and updated one on youtube these THANK

[MariuszMajewski-zv]

Finally found really practical example in pure Kotlin, that shows steps from A to Z on Bluetooth initialization and with some universal concept behind.
Thanks a lot for that video!

[marshallladd]

Amazing as usual. Would love the BLE version as well.

Hi Philip, Great tutorial on Bluetooth. Also, it would be really great if could also make a tutorial on Bluetooth LE and also using XML instead of compose, or just show both of the implementations. Thanks a lot by the way.

[manuelsalas]

Thanks Philipp!! I can't wait for the BLE app 🙌

[pedrorivarepetti]

Thank you Philip.. If you take Bluetooth LE topic please consider to read some sensor as temperature and send some conf data data to the device ...this is most common task on IoT I think.Thanks again

[pcfilho]

Thank you so much for teaching about Bluetooth, i need to use it on my job and it was always a pain to look for something about it on the internet, would really appreciate if you make more content envolving these IOT topics! Great job! 😁😁

[honeydoneapp]

You're a godsend. Know that you've made a *huge* difference in my development!

[moeinghandehari]

Thanks so much Philipp. Can't wait for next bluetooth tutorials :)

[shreyaspatne]

hi Philipp great content, one issue my device SDK version is 30, it didn't popup to ask for enable Bluetooth, or even after doing it manually app neither show paired nor scan devices, when I debug it says permission not granted, letter I download your code and run still same issue.

[adamobranz]

Is the app not working for me only? Basically it doesn't ask for permissions at startup and then the hasPermission method always returns false

[imAlexisdzn]

What Android Studio theme are you using? Amazing video!

[DayZilya]

Has anyone figured out why the code (event from github repo) is not working on Android 10 API 29?
Is there a way to make it work?

[DurAndroid]

Thanks a ton! Would love to see a BLE video along with GATT and Characteristics!

[joshflugel]

I would definitely be interested on a vide for BLE with MVV and Clean architecture. I am coding as similar app, but it uses BLE Bluetooth Low energy to communicate through a communication channel made up by arduinos on each peer end, that communicate with LoRa in between them. The idea is to extend chat range from a few meters with BLE to 1-3 kilometers with LoRa. So stoked to watch this video.

[hyprobablyausto]

i cant believe i cant...no ....this isn't real 😭🤩❤❤❤❤...phillip lackner is officially the android dev GOAT...this you are too muccchh....thanks man

[rikonikotako]

Thanks a lot, Philipp! This video was absolutely useful and perfect. Tomorrow I'm going to watch second one. Because I need it for my current little project at work .-.

[Felix-]

So nice!! Big thanks for your amazing work. Love all your videos and already bought your KMM course which is extremely helpfull!

A video about Bluetooth low energy would be amazing as well. For android there are already quite some big libraries (e.g. nordic semiconductor ble android library) which makes things a bit easier. Now I've seen there are also some libraries for Ble for KMM.

Would be interesting to see a video about how you would approach a KMM Bluetooth or Ble app. With libraries or is it better to do it from scratch? Is there much code that we could share or is the bluetooth stuff too platform specific?

Looking forward to watching the next videos and shorts!

[hanswyt]

Greetings, Philip. Success is always my new subscriber. Your tutorial is very helpful, thank you very much, I hope the knowledge is useful and I am from Indonesia very proud. Hopefully 1.5 million subs quickly

[EmmanuelMoralesonair]

Excellent video, thank you very much! I would love one but with BLE devices
