Each Bluetooth device has a name for identifying the device to users or applications. This document shows you how to get or set device names.
The local device name is read and set through the RHostResolver functions GetHostName() and SetHostName() respectively.
Getting the Local Device Name
The following code shows how to get the local name:
Link against the following libraries:
esock.lib bluetooth.lib sdpdatabase.lib
Connect to the socket server
RSocketServ socketServ; User::LeaveIfError(socketServ.Connect()); TProtocolDesc pInfo; _LIT(KL2Cap, "L2CAP"); User::LeaveIfError(socketServ.FindProtocol(KL2Cap,pInfo));
Create and initialise an RHostResolver
RHostResolver hr; User::LeaveIfError(hr.Open(socketServ,pInfo.iAddrFamily,pInfo.iProtocol));
Get the local device name
THostName name; TInt ret=hr.GetHostName(name);
Setting the Local Device Name
Setting the device name differs only in the final step, where you will use the RHostResolver::SetHostName() function.
_LIT(KDeviceName,"myDeviceName"); TInt ret=hr.SetHostName(KDeviceName);
