Android v1.0 won't have full Bluetooth or Gtalk
Google employee Dan Morill of the Android Developer Blog has revealed that the first version of the Android platform to hit the market with a phone will not have OBEX or GAP Bluetooth profiles.
The omissions, preventing Bluetooth file transfers and Bluetooth device connection, are expected to come in a later version. Google was quick to allay accusations that the omissions were one of negligence, rather than for the sake of getting it right.
“Rather than ship a broken API that we knew was going to change a lot, we chose not to include it. We absolutely intend to support a Bluetooth API in a future release, although we don’t know exactly when that will be,” Morill said.
Planned features for the eventual inclusion of a Bluetooth API include:
- Bindings to GAP and SDP functionality.
- Access to RFCOMM and SCO sockets.
- Potentially, L2CAP socket support from Java. (This one is under consideration.)
- An API to our headset and hands-free profiles.
