Bluetooth Permission Is Given

1. Adding a Bluetooth Data Source

• Log in to the Kuika platform.
• Open your mobile project from the Apps screen.
• Go to the Datasources module.

• Open the new data source screen using the + icon on the left. Then select Bluetooth as the Datasource Type.

• Fill in the required and optional fields:
  
  • Device Name (required)
  • Device ID (optional)
  • Device Address (optional)
• Complete the registration with CREATE.

2. Define a New Method

• Go to the data source you saved → click the ADD NEW METHOD button.
• Fill in the required fields:
  
  • Name
  • Characteristic ID
  • Service ID
  • Characteristic Type (Read, Write, Notify)

3. Adding the Bluetooth Permission Is Given Action

• Click on the method you created.
• From the Properties panel on the right:
  
  • + ADD ACTION → Custom → Kuika → Select BluetoothPermissionIsGiven_bluetooth.

Parameter Definitions

• showAlert (Boolean): Should a warning be displayed if permission is not granted? Example: true
• alertMessage (String) The warning message to be displayed to the user. Example: “Please grant Bluetooth permission”

On an application screen, the user will be asked to grant Bluetooth permission. When the user clicks the “Scan Devices” button, a warning message will be displayed if the application does not have Bluetooth permission.

1. Go to the UI Design module.

• Add a Button element.
• In the Properties panel, set the button name to “Scan Devices.”

2. To check Bluetooth permission when this button is clicked, add the following action from the + ADD ACTION menu:

• OnClick → Custom → Kuika → BluetoothPermissionIsGiven_bluetooth.

3. Action configuration:

Enter the action parameters as follows:

• showAlert: true
• alertMessage: “Bluetooth permission is required to scan devices.”

Once these steps are complete, when the user clicks the button, the application checks whether Bluetooth permission has been granted. If permission has not been granted, a warning message is displayed on the screen.

• Conditional Flow Management: If Bluetooth permission is not granted, an alternative flow can be directed with a Condition action.
• Dynamic Alert Text: The alert text can be customized in multiple languages based on the user's language or device information.
• Request Permission Again: Navigate or Open External URL actions can be defined to redirect the user to the settings screen if permission is not granted.

Technical Risks and Controls

• Mobile Only: The action does not work in a web environment and should only be used on mobile devices.
• Permission Requirement: If the user's Bluetooth permission is disabled at the system level, it cannot be enabled by the application.
• User Experience: If the warning message is not displayed, the user may not understand why the process did not occur. showAlert is recommended.
• Platform Differences: Permission mechanisms may differ between Android and iOS operating systems. These differences should be taken into account.

The Bluetooth Permission Is Given action ensures that the necessary permissions are obtained from the user before performing Bluetooth-based operations in your mobile application. It provides a controlled and informative experience for the user, making application functionality safer and smarter.
