I would like to discuss one thing related to Flow<Bluetooth.Availability> . I have the following use case:
all permissions is granted, bluetooth adapter is enabled but location service is disabled.

The flow emits LocationServicesDisabled which is correct, but after I enable the LocationService, the flow could emit a new state, like Available or Unavailable(reason = Off)
What do you think about that???

Sorry, I saw comment in thread https://github.com/JuulLabs/kable/pull/335#issue-1257820206
"Unfortunately, could not find a way to monitor changes to location services status, so only the initial emission of status is provided."

Ya, an unfortunate limitation on Android.
If you discover a way to monitor for changes (without continually checking on an interval), then let me know.

@travis Look that

private val locationServiceEnabledFlow: Flow<Boolean> =
    broadcastReceiverFlow(IntentFilter(LocationManager.PROVIDERS_CHANGED_ACTION))
        .map { isLocationEnabled }

So we can combine both flows in one

[Francis Mariano]

locationServiceEnabledFlow returns if the location is enabled or disabled

Nice. I'll look into it. Thanks!!
