# BluetoothLeAdvertiser

`public final class BluetoothLeAdvertiser`
`extends Object` ``

java.lang.Object
↳ | android.bluetooth.le.BluetoothLeAdvertiser

This class provides a way to perform Bluetooth LE advertise operations, such as starting and stopping advertising. An advertiser can broadcast up to 31 bytes of advertisement data represented by `AdvertiseData`.

To get an instance of `BluetoothLeAdvertiser`, call the `BluetoothAdapter#getBluetoothLeAdvertiser()` method.

Note: Most of the methods here require `Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN` permission.
