addEventListener('availabilitychanged', event => { });

onavailabilitychanged = event => { };

Event type

A generic Event.

Examples

To be informed when Bluetooth availability changes, you can add a handler to your Bluetooth instance using addEventListener(), like this:

Bluetooth.addEventListener("availabilitychanged", function(event) {
  var availability = event.value;
});

Alternatively, you can use the Bluetooth.onavailabilitychanged event handler property to establish a handler for the availabilitychanged event:

Bluetooth.onavailabilitychanged = function(event) {
 var availability = event.value;
}
