Interpreting dumpsys bluetoothmanager result

Question

I am trying to understand dumpsys bluetooth_manager results. More specifically, I would like to figure out about different states of Bluetooth adapter by looking at the dumpsys output. For example, if bluetooth is enabled/disabled, if it is connectable/discoverable, if it is scanning, or if it is paired or bonded.

By looking at the dumpsys output, I can say that state: 12 under Bluetooth Status section should answer my questions. However, I am unable to interpret what state value means. For example, 12 means bluetooth_on or 10 means bluetooth_off.

I tried to look at the Android Bluetooth Adapter documentation to resolve this issue. However, not all the state values in dumpsys report matches constant values in Android documentation. I appreciate if someone can help me with this.

Below is an example of dumpsys result:

For open source projects looking at the source code is often even better than reading documentation:

public @interface AdapterState {}
/**
 * Indicates the local Bluetooth adapter is off.
 */
public static final int STATE_OFF = 10;
/**
 * Indicates the local Bluetooth adapter is turning on. However local
 * clients should wait for {@link #STATE_ON} before attempting to
 * use the adapter.
 */
public static final int STATE_TURNING_ON = 11;
/**
 * Indicates the local Bluetooth adapter is on, and ready for use.
 */
public static final int STATE_ON = 12;
/**
 * Indicates the local Bluetooth adapter is turning off. Local clients
 * should immediately attempt graceful disconnection of any remote links.
 */
public static final int STATE_TURNING_OFF = 13;
/**
 * Indicates the local Bluetooth adapter is turning Bluetooth LE mode on.
 *
 * @hide
 */
public static final int STATE_BLE_TURNING_ON = 14;
/**
 * Indicates the local Bluetooth adapter is in LE only mode.
 *
 * @hide
 */
public static final int STATE_BLE_ON = 15;
/**
 * Indicates the local Bluetooth adapter is turning off LE only mode.
 *
 * @hide
 */
public static final int STATE_BLE_TURNING_OFF = 16;
