[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Application access to connection manager

[From: Nils Faerber]

Hi!
I would like to have access from an (my) application to data from the
application manager - or even better control functions of the
applications to a certain extend.

For example I would like to query the connection manager for information
about the configured mobile phone.
In a second quite natural step I would like to connect to the phone and
use it for other purposes than "just" an internet connection. Basically
I would like to have an API that I can use to just toggle an RFCOMM
connection to the configured phone and get a file descriptor to it.

I do not want to incorparate that functionality in my application again,
i.e. scan for devices, pair with device, create RFCOMM connection etc.
This would be redundant because the mobile phone's Bluetooth address is
already stored and it is already paired.

Is something like this already possible?

I looked through the docs and APIs ut could not find anything about
connection management except from all APIs o do it completely on my own
;) (i.e. inquiry scan, open rfcomm, etc...)

Cheers
