In the Android 2.3.3 BluetoothChat example with with createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord() API, users are still prompted to accept the pairing request, even though no PIN code is presented.
Is there a way to automate Bluetooth pairing request without user intervention? Or is this never possible due to security concerns? I have been looking online for 2 days now and haven’t really found much, so if anybody knows, please post.
Thanks!
Not with the standard API, no: if the MAC address is not already in the pairing database there will always be the prompt. I’m told that if you have a device that has been rooted and have public read/write access to the bluetooth service’s DBus endpoint you can work around that but I’ve never seen that actually implemented.
