Estimote Android-SDK 1.+ restartBluetooth method

BLE Beacons

Before 1.+ in Android SDK (0.16.0) in the class Utils there was a function restartBluetooth.

In 1.+ I can’t find it.

Is this function still there?

Utils class was removed. See https://github.com/Estimote/Android-SDK/issues/247
Restarting Bluetooth is pretty straightforward. Here is a code snippet (from old SDK) that allows to do this.

     /**
       * Restarts Bluetooth stack on the device.
       * <p>
       * <b>Never</b> invoke this method without user's explicit consent that Bluetooth
       * on the device is going to be restarted.
       *
       * @param context Context.
       * @param listener Listener to be invoked when Bluetooth stack is restarted.
       */
      public static void restartBluetooth(Context context, final RestartCompletedListener listener) {
        BluetoothManager bluetoothManager = (BluetoothManager) context.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);
        final BluetoothAdapter adapter = bluetoothManager.getAdapter();

        IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED);
        context.registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
          @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED.equals(intent.getAction())) {
              int state = intent.getIntExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_STATE, -1);
              if (state == BluetoothAdapter.STATE_OFF) {
                adapter.enable();
              } else if (state == BluetoothAdapter.STATE_ON) {
                context.unregisterReceiver(this);
                listener.onRestartCompleted();
              }
            }
          }
        }, intentFilter);

        adapter.disable();
      }

Remember that restarting Bluetooth without user’s explicit approval is a very bad idea - you basically restart whole stack, so you may break connection with other Bluetooth devices like headphones or speakers.
