I would like to be able to probe for a specific bluetooth device. The only way I've found to do this is to call startDiscovery() and then parse the returning FOUND event to compare the device returned to the one on my paired list. This is OK, but it's still an expensive process to eliminate all the devices I'm not interested in. I cannot rely on the connect() function to work of this device, but I'm testing an algorithm where I simply can use the fact that the device is nearby.
The biggest problem with this approach is how do I know when the device is no longer nearby. Do I constantly have to go through discovery even after the device is nearby to find out it has left the scene? Is there some type of Intent that gets fired in this instance. Remember, I am not connected. Ideally, a probe type function for a specific BT address would make finding and losing the BT device a lot easier to implement.
