Turning on and Turning Off Bluetooth By Programming in Android

Procedure
  1. Start Eclipse IDE.
  2. Create a new project.
  3. Create a MainActivity.java file.
  4. Create an activity_main.xml for layout design.
  5. Add three buttons and one TextView fields in the XML layout.
  6. Then look up buttons by their ids in MainActivity.java file.
  7. Use BluetoothAdapter like this:
     
    final BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.
    getDefaultAdapter();
     
  8. Set the functionality of Bluetooth on buttons.
  9. On the first button enable Bluetooth like this:
     
    Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
     
  10. On the second button enable Bluetooth Duration like this:
     
    Intent enableBtIntent = new
    Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE);
     
  11. On third button disable the Bluetooth like this: 
     
    mBluetoothAdapter.disable();
Code is given below
