Do you mean that if the remote device doesn't require a pin, the android api will not be able to establish a connection to such remote devices?
Do I have an option to inject the paring key pragmatically if my appl already know the pin code of the remote device? Or, if the remote device doesn't require pin code, new new bluetooth api will just connect without user intervention? The idea is that we want to have a background service running without user intervention. Please advise.
