[Android 2.1+] btCrawler - A Bluetooth Diagnostic Tool v2.0 released 23.08.2012

---

Greetings stranger,

btCrawler Version 2.0 has been released now with integrated database.

Description:

btCrawler - Bluetooth Scanner

This tool can scan for surrounding visible bluetooth devices. Ist shows the device type, supported services and the signal strength. It can also be used to find a device based on the signal strength.


Features:
- *** NEW: Database support. All scanned devices are now stored in a database and can be reviewed. Stored data includes the time a device is first seen and when it was last seen.
- List currently paired devices
- Scan for visible devices
- Shows Device Name, BDADDR (like MAC), Class of Device and Signal Strength
- Query SDP services from devices
- Pair / Unpair to devices

Over the time I will add more features as I find more ways to mangle the API a bit more.

Hi domamay,

The normal bt settings in android do not allow to scan for sdp services. For example you only get an options dialog on longpress if the paired device offers services to which your device has an endpoint for or is able to connect to. Also in normal bt settings you dont get the signalstrength of the remote device or the device class or the device bdaddr. I was missing these things and infos that's why I wrote btCrawler years ago for WinMo and now for android.

Cheers

New verison out

Last night I released a new version of btCrawler which adds a database (See first post for more description). All devices which are discovered will now be stored in this database and can be reviewed at any time. In addition there are first seen and last seen values which show you the first and last contact to a device.

Comments and feature request are always welcome.

Cheers,

Michael
