Android Bluetooth Multiplayer allows you to add Bluetooth multiplayer to your game with just a few lines of code. It is fully compatible with Unity’s built-in networking systems. What this means is that you can easily reuse your networking code for Internet and local gaming with minimal changes, or use any of existing tutorials about Unity built-in networking.
Ever wanted to add Bluetooth multiplayer to your Android game? Then this is the one and only plugin you will ever need.
Features:
Fully compatible with Unity built-in multiplayer (both UNet and legacy). No need to write special networking code!
Documented demo examples and components to get you started immediately.
Powerful API to cover even advanced use cases.
Comprehensive documentation included.
Supports Unity 5.2 and newer. Pro license is not required.
The generate manifest option does not seem to work and patch manifest is silent fail but reads succeed - you might want to include a generic AndroidManifest.xml with bluetooth permissions
That’s odd… What Unity version and operating system you are using?
I am investigating the issue, but meanwhile, you can use this AndroidManifest.xml file I’ve attached (zipped as forum doesn’t allow .xml attachments) 1294360–59621–$AndroidManifest.zip (788 Bytes)
Please let me know if you have any more problems with the plugin.
First, thank you for the awesome plugin. I had noticed an issue with the Manifest generator as well. It is failing to find the local unity copy of the manifest. I am running on OSX and just needed to edit the filepath in GetManifestOriginal(). I am having an issue initializing the bluetooth server in my project. When the server initialization is attempted it fails.
Here is a portion of the logcat
D/LostPolygonABT( 6538): Server - Starting
D/BluetoothManagerService( 2185): checkIfCallerIsForegroundUser: valid=true callingUser=0 foregroundUser=0
W/BluetoothAdapter( 6538): getBluetoothService() called with no BluetoothManagerCallback

D/Unity ( 6538): SendMessage: object BluetoothMultiplayerAndroidManager does not have receiver for function SomeInexistantMethod!
Thanks for the feedback.
Actually, as I can see from the ‘onBluetoothListeningStarted’ event being fired - it looks like server initialization is fine. Have you tried connecting to the server? UPD: What device and Android version do you have?
The “object BluetoothMultiplayerAndroidManager does not have receiver for function SomeInexistantMethod!” message is not an actual error (it means pretty much nothing), but anyway, I’ve already fixed that as well as the manifest generation on OS X - the update is on it’s way.
The plugin was not really intended for that… But it is possible if you have Android Pro. As soon as the Bluetooth connection between client devices and the server is established, you can send your raw data as UDP packets to the 127.0.0.1: and the data will travel over Bluetooth. Basically, you’ll have to do all your raw communications via UDP sockets. All that will require some coding work, but it’s definitely possible.

I think why, and know that there is a solution where signal turns on twice.
