Android - Enabling and Disabling Bluetooth - SDK 3 (OS 1.5) - programatically?

Question

I have written code to enable and disable various things programatically like Wifi, Ringer modes, Airplane modes. All things that you would see in a power toggle widget.

The one that I have not found out how to do is bluetooth. It appears that in SDK level 3 (OS 1.5) there is no pretty bluetooth manager class. Has anyone pinpointed any good source examples on enabling and disabling bluetooth that will also be forwards compatible with users running 2.0 (Droid) / 2.1 (Nexus)?

I have found a few partial examples in my google searches that I could not get to actually run.

Thanks!

This has alot of great examples and teaches you the basic gist of starting up bluetooth and getting sockets.

You should probably read the whole thing but just for a quick starter look at the section called "Setting Up Bluetooth"
