<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>The Bluetooth Chat example shows how to use the <a href="qtbluetooth-index.html">Qt Bluetooth</a> API to communicate with another application on a remote device using Bluetooth.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/btchat-example.png" alt="" /></p><p>The Bluetooth Chat example implements a simple chat program between multiple parties. The application always acts as both a server and a client eliminating the need to determine who should connect to whom.</p>
<a name="running-the-example"></a>
<h2 id="running-the-example">Running the Example</h2>
<p>To run the example from Qt Creator, open the <b>Welcome</b> mode and select the example from <b>Examples</b>. For more information, visit Building and Running an Example.</p>
<a name="chat-server"></a>
<h2 id="chat-server">Chat Server</h2>
<p>The chat server is implemented by the ChatServer class. The ChatServer class is declared as:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="keyword">class</span> ChatServer : <span class="keyword">public</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qobject.html">QObject</a></span>
  {
      Q_OBJECT

  <span class="keyword">public</span>:

      <span class="operator">~</span>ChatServer();

      <span class="type">void</span> startServer(<span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothaddress.html">QBluetoothAddress</a></span> <span class="operator">&amp;</span>localAdapter <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothaddress.html">QBluetoothAddress</a></span>());
      <span class="type">void</span> stopServer();

  <span class="keyword">public</span> <span class="keyword">slots</span>:
      <span class="type">void</span> sendMessage(<span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qstring.html">QString</a></span> <span class="operator">&amp;</span>message);

      <span class="type">void</span> clientDisconnected(<span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qstring.html">QString</a></span> <span class="operator">&amp;</span>name);

  <span class="keyword">private</span> <span class="keyword">slots</span>:
      <span class="type">void</span> clientConnected();
      <span class="type">void</span> clientDisconnected();
      <span class="type">void</span> readSocket();

  <span class="keyword">private</span>:
      <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserver.html">QBluetoothServer</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>rfcommServer;
      <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span> serviceInfo;
      <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qlist.html">QList</a></span><span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothsocket.html">QBluetoothSocket</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span> clientSockets;
  };

</pre>
<p>The first thing the chat server needs to do is create an instance of QRfcommServer to listen for incoming Bluetooth connections. Our clientConnected() slot will be called whenever a new connection is created.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  rfcommServer <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserver.html">QBluetoothServer</a></span>(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>RfcommProtocol<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span>);
  connect(rfcommServer<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(newConnection())<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span><span class="operator">,</span> SLOT(clientConnected()));
  bool result <span class="operator">=</span> rfcommServer<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>listen(localAdapter);
  <span class="keyword">if</span> (<span class="operator">!</span>result) {
      <a href="../qtcore/qtglobal.html#qWarning">qWarning</a>() <span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="operator">&lt;</span> <span class="string">&quot;Cannot bind chat server to&quot;</span> <span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="operator">&lt;</span> localAdapter<span class="operator">.</span>toString();
      <span class="keyword">return</span>;
  }

</pre>
<p>The chat server is only useful if others know that it is there. To enable other devices to discover it, a record describing the service needs to be published in the systems SDP (Service Discovery Protocol) database. The <a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a> class encapsulates a service record.</p>
<p>We will publish a service record that contains some textural descriptions of the services, a UUID that uniquely identifies the service, the discoverability attribute, and connection parameters.</p>
<p>The textural description of the service is stored in the ServiceName, ServiceDescription, and ServiceProvider attributes.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  serviceInfo<span class="operator">.</span>setAttribute(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>ServiceName<span class="operator">,</span> tr(<span class="string">&quot;Bt Chat Server&quot;</span>));
  serviceInfo<span class="operator">.</span>setAttribute(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>ServiceDescription<span class="operator">,</span>
                           tr(<span class="string">&quot;Example bluetooth chat server&quot;</span>));
  serviceInfo<span class="operator">.</span>setAttribute(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>ServiceProvider<span class="operator">,</span> tr(<span class="string">&quot;qt-project.org&quot;</span>));

</pre>
<p>Bluetooth uses UUIDs as unique identifiers. The chat service uses a randomly generated UUID.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="keyword">static</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> QLatin1String serviceUuid(<span class="string">&quot;e8e10f95-1a70-4b27-9ccf-02010264e9c8&quot;</span>);
  serviceInfo<span class="operator">.</span>setServiceUuid(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothuuid.html">QBluetoothUuid</a></span>(serviceUuid));

</pre>
<p>A Bluetooth service is only discoverable if it is in the PublicBrowseGroup.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>Sequence publicBrowse;
  publicBrowse <span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="operator">&lt;</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>fromValue(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothuuid.html">QBluetoothUuid</a></span>(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothuuid.html">QBluetoothUuid</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>PublicBrowseGroup));
  serviceInfo<span class="operator">.</span>setAttribute(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>BrowseGroupList<span class="operator">,</span>
                           publicBrowse);

</pre>
<p>The ProtocolDescriptorList attribute is used to publish the connection parameters that the remote device requires to connect to our service. Here we specify that the Rfcomm protocol is used and set the port number to the port that our rfcommServer instance is listening to.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>Sequence protocolDescriptorList;
  <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>Sequence protocol;
  protocol <span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="operator">&lt;</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>fromValue(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothuuid.html">QBluetoothUuid</a></span>(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothuuid.html">QBluetoothUuid</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>L2cap));
  protocolDescriptorList<span class="operator">.</span>append(<span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>fromValue(protocol));
  protocol<span class="operator">.</span>clear();
  protocol <span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="operator">&lt;</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>fromValue(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothuuid.html">QBluetoothUuid</a></span>(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothuuid.html">QBluetoothUuid</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>Rfcomm))
           <span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="operator">&lt;</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>fromValue(<span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qtglobal.html#quint8-typedef">quint8</a></span>(rfcommServer<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>serverPort()));
  protocolDescriptorList<span class="operator">.</span>append(<span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>fromValue(protocol));
  serviceInfo<span class="operator">.</span>setAttribute(<span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothserviceinfo.html">QBluetoothServiceInfo</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>ProtocolDescriptorList<span class="operator">,</span>
                           protocolDescriptorList);

</pre>
<p>Finally, we register the service record with the system.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  serviceInfo<span class="operator">.</span>registerService(localAdapter);

</pre>
<p>As mentioned earlier, incoming connections are handled in the clientConnected() slot where pending connections are connected to the readyRead() and disconnected() signals. The signals notify others that a new client has connected.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type">void</span> ChatServer<span class="operator">::</span>clientConnected()
  {
      <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothsocket.html">QBluetoothSocket</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>socket <span class="operator">=</span> rfcommServer<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>nextPendingConnection();
      <span class="keyword">if</span> (<span class="operator">!</span>socket)
          <span class="keyword">return</span>;

      connect(socket<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(readyRead())<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span><span class="operator">,</span> SLOT(readSocket()));
      connect(socket<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(disconnected())<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span><span class="operator">,</span> SLOT(clientDisconnected()));
      clientSockets<span class="operator">.</span>append(socket);
      <span class="keyword">emit</span> clientConnected(socket<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>peerName());
  }

</pre>
<p>The readSocket() slot is called whenever data is ready to be read from a client socket. The slot reads individual lines from the socket, converts them from UTF-8, and emits the messageReceived() signal.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type">void</span> ChatServer<span class="operator">::</span>readSocket()
  {
      <span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothsocket.html">QBluetoothSocket</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>socket <span class="operator">=</span> qobject_cast<span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="type"><a href="qbluetoothsocket.html">QBluetoothSocket</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>(sender());
      <span class="keyword">if</span> (<span class="operator">!</span>socket)
          <span class="keyword">return</span>;

      <span class="keyword">while</span> (socket<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>canReadLine()) {
          <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a></span> line <span class="operator">=</span> socket<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>readLine()<span class="operator">.</span>trimmed();
          <span class="keyword">emit</span> messageReceived(socket<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>peerName()<span class="operator">,</span>
                               <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qstring.html">QString</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>fromUtf8(line<span class="operator">.</span>constData()<span class="operator">,</span> line<span class="operator">.</span>length()));
      }
