Reading again you answer I think I got what you meant.
Discover and pair is the difficult part so leave that work to the "phone own Bluetooth app" and work with those already paired devices from my app.
Like in this example that uses getBondedDevices
private void init() throws IOException {
BluetoothAdapter blueAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (blueAdapter != null) {
if (blueAdapter.isEnabled()) {
Set<BluetoothDevice> bondedDevices = blueAdapter.getBondedDevices();
if(bondedDevices.size() > 0) {
Object[] devices = (Object []) bondedDevices.toArray();
BluetoothDevice device = (BluetoothDevice) devices[position];
ParcelUuid[] uuids = device.getUuids();
BluetoothSocket socket = device.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(uuids[0].getUuid());
socket.connect();
outputStream = socket.getOutputStream();
inStream = socket.getInputStream();
}
Log.e("error", "No appropriate paired devices.");
} else {
Log.e("error", "Bluetooth is disabled.");
}
}
}
I would expect that bondedDevices contains the paired devices even if they have been paired with the "phone own Bluetooth app" and not with my app. Correct?
