Hello everyone! 👋 I'm excited to share my exploration of the new architecture in React-Native and the creation of a basic Bluetooth Classic Module for Android. This module enhances your React-Native app by providing seamless integration with Bluetooth Classic devices.
The Bluetooth Classic Module offers the following functionalities:
- Enabling and disabling Bluetooth connections.
- Listing already bonded devices.
- Pairing new devices.
- Starting and stopping the discovery of devices.
During the development of this module, I gained valuable insights into various concepts:
-
Creating Turbo Native Module: I learned how to build a Turbo Native Module, harnessing the power of the new architecture in React-Native.
-
Strongly Typed Interfaces: The module includes strongly typed interfaces that expose the module's properties with proper typings, ensuring a smoother integration process.
-
Codegen for Scaffolding: I explored the usage of Codegen to generate scaffolding code, which significantly expedited the development process.
-
Exposing Native APIs to React-Native: I delved into the intricacies of exposing native APIs and code to the React-Native environment, enabling seamless communication between the two.
-
Runtime Permissions and Lifecycle Handling: The process of handling runtime permissions within the app and utilizing Android's lifecycle methods and Activity listeners was a key learning point.
-
Sending Native Events to React-Native: I discovered how to send native events to the React-Native side or JS thread, enhancing real-time communication between the native and JavaScript parts of the app.
To integrate the Bluetooth Classic Module into your React-Native app, follow these steps:
- Clone this repository to your local machine.
- Navigate to the module's directory and install dependencies.
- Link the module to your React-Native project.
- Use the module's functionalities in your app by following the provided documentation and examples.
