Android Question How do I activate the Bluetooth Connection Intent?

[GuyBooth]

I want to activate my device's Bluetooth connection using the built-in settings app,
Can anyone help me with the code to do this?
I'm thinking I need to use StartActivityForResult, but I'm not sure how to use it.
Thanks

What exactly are you trying to do? Which device do you want to connect to?

I have a music player app that plays music on my device using MediaPlayer. It will play through my device's speakers, but I can tap the device Settings App and turn Bluetooth on, then tap Bluetooth and pair or connect to my Bluetooth speakers, headphones, car player etc. and play though them.
I would like to be able to turn the device Bluetooth on and select the Bluetooth speakers etc. by tapping a button in my App instead of having to leave the app and use the device's buttons.

You can turn it on programmatically with BluetoothAdmin.

Try this intent:

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize("android.settings.BLUETOOTH_SETTINGS", "")
StartActivity(i)

Perfect!
(With the addition of

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />

to the manifest).
Thank you.
