<![CDATA[Qt Bluetooth api]]>I'm new to qt.I'm currently using qt 5.2 .I'm trying to create a test Bluetooth app on my desktop that connects with other Bluetooth enabled devices for communication .the problem I'm having occurs when I use the qbluetoothlocaldevice::isvalid() command returns false all the time and my PC is Bluetooth enabled.
my code snippet:
QBluetoothLocalDevice mydevice;
if (mydevice.is valid()){
printf("A");
}
else {
printf("B");}

my result: B

please help

Without any more information about the OS, I suppose you are trying that on windows.

Currently the bluetooth supported platforms are Linux with Bluez >= 4 and Blackberry, support for android is scheduled for 5.3
