I have a code for Bluez and Android that could be integrated as a patch but currently it is separate just because i wanted my application to be compatible with standard library, least in Linux. I Android Bluetooth needed so many bugfixes that I needed to have own copy patched of library.I found that there is Linux/Bluez code in https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtconnectivity but no Android ? > > LBNL I have a question.

Any help > on my use case question? Very common use case, your application wants to use device X ( or device some compatible device ). If device is already paired,it could just ask list of known devices and use it. There is no sense that every time some application would like to sue some device, the device should put in discoverable mode application find it. I use it just so that I look is device X paired and if is, I use it. If not, then I ask user to put device discoverable pairing mode and pair it. Next time application find it automatically.
