Adressbook with bluez?

Adressbook with bluez?

[Andreas Volz]

Hello,

I like to read out the address book of my bluetooth phone with bluez. I
didn't find any info about this.

Is this possible?

If not, what is missing in the implementation to get it working?

regards
Andreas

You need to send special AT-Commands over the rfcomm like to the phone.

Thanks for your fast answer?

How should I do this practically? Could I use minicom? Could I simply
open /dev/rfcomm0 and read and write on it?

What commands should I send?

Are there some more docs/examples about this or could you give me more
information?

Andreas

Yes, you can do it this way.

I don't know the commands, but you should be able to find them in the internet.
Just search for AT Command Refernece.

The commands are also different between the vendors. Each vendor has custom AT Commands.

I guess also the Bluetooth profiles PBAP and PAB can be used for this?
Have no idea if bluez supports those profiles yet (some googling
indicates that they are being worked on).

See:

I found this:

http://gitorious.org/bluez-sap/bluez-sap/commit/e5fb1b8e7c900f6d9f9aebab0f77a20dbfec3121

Does someone know more about this. (I wrote also an E-Mail to the
commiter).

You can find the bluez version of PBAP in the obex packet.

I found some docs about Nokia (fitting for me) AT commands:

http://www.activexperts.com/xmstoolkit/atcommands/nokia/

I see that it's also possible to do stuff (e.g. initiate a call) that
works also with HFP. I assume this is better to do with a defined
protocol, not? (e.g. with HFP for Linux[1]).

This python scripts returns the first five contacts from the default
phonebook using handsfree profile it works for my nokia phone.

#!/usr/bin/python
import bluetooth

sock = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(bluetooth.RFCOMM)
conn = sock.connect((<bluetooth device address>, <HF port>))

sock.send("AT+CPBR=1,5\r")
print sock.recv(1024)
print sock.recv(1024)
print sock.recv(1024)
print sock.recv(1024)
print sock.recv(1024)
print sock.recv(1024)

sock.close()

Hello Rafael,

Yes, this is what I need!

Does someone know a lib to parse vcards? Or has anyone wrote some C++
classes for it? Only to save me some stupid double work. On the first
look the data looks easy, but if I look deeper into the vcard spec than
I get a headache... :-)
