Need to get device of the peripheral.

Hi Weliem,

I need to broadcast the device of the BluetoothPeripheral instance when it is connected or disconnected. I can put the address of the peripheral into intent.putExtra, but in my case I need to put the bluetooth device into intent.putExtra. The bluetooth peripheral is not parcelable but the bluetooth device is parcaleble, so I am able to put the device into intent.putExtra. The thing that I would like to stress is that I need to get the device of the peripheral, but it is private.

override fun onConnectedPeripheral(peripheral: BluetoothPeripheral) {
    Timber.i("connected to '%s' '%s'", peripheral.name, peripheral.address)
    broadcastUpdate(ACTION_PERIPHERAL_CONNECTED, peripheral.getDevice())   
}

private fun broadcastUpdate(action: String, device: BluetoothDevice) {  
        val intent = Intent(action)  
        intent.putExtra(EXTRA_DATA, device)   
        mainHandler.post { context.sendBroadcast(intent) }  
 }

My proposal: Can you add a method into BluetoothPeripheral like below:

    /**
    * Get the device of the bluetooth peripheral.
    *
    * @return device of the bluetooth peripheral
    */
   @NotNull
   public BluetoothDevice getDevice() {
       return this.device; // or  return device;
   }

Thank you @ceduliocezar, I got it.

But I don’t understand why the package owner @weliem does not allow peripheral.getDevice() and what the restriction is for not getting BluetoothDevice of the BluetoothPeripheral in behind the scene.

Hi weliem, I still need to have peripheral.getDevice() for the reason that I have explained above.
