This separate widget is obsolete now. Please install A2DP Volume for this widget.
Widget (NOT app, will not show up in apps!) to connect to a Bluetooth A2DP streaming (A2DP) receiver without having to navigate through all the settings menus. This widget can be placed on a home screen. Once you place it on a screen, a configuration activity will let you select which Bluetooth device would want to associate with the widget. Short click the widget for connect the A2DP device. Click again to disconnect.

This widget will only connect/disconnect the A2DP profile. It will not connect or disconnect any other Bluetooth profiles. It is just a very simple widget with no app and no other functions.
This version is for Android 4.2 and up. It may not be supported on all devices! I don't have all devices to test so you will just need to try it. Several have left bad ratings. If you have the same device as one of the bad ratings claiming it does not work than it may not work on those devices.
Note: This is only a widget, not an app. You must place an instance of the widget on your home screen. See your devices help for instructions on placing widgets on your home screen. All it does is toggle the connection to A2DP profile only. Nothing else. It does not handle pairing of Bluetooth devices either. Do that with your Android settings. Most of the bad ratings are from people who don't know how widgets work, or are having pairing problems. . See manual, release notes, details here: https://github.com/jroal/a2dp-connect2/wiki

Icon now changes color based on connection state. It will not change if other things change the connection state though. Still working on this.

Thanks! This does exactly what I want. I was getting tired of the fiddly way I have to use to connect to my Bluetooth speaker. There really too many clicks. This has reduced it to one and I'm very grateful!

This widget does what it says. Plain and simple. And it works. No ads. I don't know how anyone rates it other than 5 stars.

Handy tool to connect reluctant Bluetooth devices. Excellent, simple. One touch, one action. You can add several widgets to your home screen to allow you to choose between several devices/vehicles.

Didn't help on my Mercedes c class Didn't allow me anything new. I had all Bluetooth working except SMS being read out loud,they only display on the screen of my car satnav. I even got the same notification. All I need is to get the SMS to read out loud. It did not help unfortunately. Android5.3 it always worked OK on my windows phone! Can you help please

UPDATE: Has stopped working with Samsung S9+ - its a shame I liked it a lot. I've had to change to Bluetooth Speaker Switch (it cost me and I don't even like it as much!) Android users are crying out for a simple widget to switch between bluetooth devices. This is nearly it. It's not the prettiest (a dashboard widget would look better) but its the best there is.. Agree with other reviewer who said that it needs to show device state - would be a massive improvement.
★★☆☆☆
Completely useless, removed all my Bluetooth paired devices, had to reboot phone

For me it only connects, it doesn't disconnect. I does say "disconnecting ..........." , but nothing happens. My headset keeps beeing connected. It also has no feedback of if the device is connected or not. The widget doesn't change colour or something. So I still need to open the setting to see if it is connected. And I still need to open the setting to disconnect. Useless! (Samsung S7,Android 8.0.0, Plantronics BackBeat headset.)
