# Qt Bluetooth

The Bluetooth API provides connectivity between Bluetooth enabled devices.

Currently the API is supported on Android, BlackBerry 10 and Linux (Bluez 4.x).

## Overview

Bluetooth is a short-range (less than 100 meters) wireless technology. It has a reasonably high data transfer rate of 2.1 Mbit/s, which makes it ideal for transferring data between devices. Bluetooth connectivity is based on basic device management, such as scanning for devices, gathering information about them, and exchanging data between them.

## Getting started

To use the C++ library in your application, add the following configuration option to your `.pro` file:

    QT += bluetooth

To use the classes of the module in your application you need the following import statement in your `.qml` file:

    import QtBluetooth 5.2
