# Bluetooth Support plugin for UE4 A code plugin for Unreal Engine that allows developers to access the Bluetooth SDK from Blueprint and C++. This is the source code of "Bluetooth Support" code plugin on https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/bluetooth-support

## Prerequisites Before adding the plugin to your projects, please take these points into consideration:

This plugin relies on Android native SDK. Only Android is currently supported.
It won't cause a problem for other platforms. It is safe to call any of the plugin methods on any platform.
You can always wrap platform-specific features by checking the platform name.
Android started supporting Bluetooth Low Energy since Android 4.3 (API level 18).
- Accessing the device's default bluetooth adapter (API level 18)
- Nearby device discovery, connection, characteristic reading (API level 21)
- Getting a nearby device's TXpower, connectablity, advertising intervale (API level 26)
These permissions and capabilities are required in the manifest file in order to be able to use Bluetooth LE on an Android device.
Don't worry, you can do that easily by following this official guide
Your app should request ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION runtime permission in order to be able to discover other BLE devices.
Here is how to check/request granted permissions at runtime on UE4.
