Android + Pair devices via bluetooth programmatically
In my first answer the logic is shown for those who want to go with the logic only.
I think I was not able to make clear to @chalukya3545, that's why I am adding the whole code to let him know the exact flow of the code.

Add this permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
The output for this code will look like this.
The Best way is do not use any pairing code.
Instead of onClick go to other function or other class where You create the socket using UUID.
Android automatically pops up for pairing if already not paired.
or see this link for better understanding
Below is code for the same:
private OnItemClickListener mDeviceClickListener = new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> av, View v, int arg2, long arg3) {
// Cancel discovery because it's costly and we're about to connect
mBtAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
// Get the device MAC address, which is the last 17 chars in the View
String info = ((TextView) v).getText().toString();
String address = info.substring(info.length() - 17);
// Create the result Intent and include the MAC address
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_DEVICE_ADDRESS, address);
// Set result and finish this Activity
setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, intent);
// **add this 2 line code**
Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), Connect.class);
startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);
finish();
}
};
Connect.java file is :
public class Connect extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "zeoconnect";
private ByteBuffer localByteBuffer;
private InputStream in;
byte[] arrayOfByte = new byte[4096];
int bytes;
public BluetoothDevice mDevice;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.connect);
try {
setup();
} catch (ZeoMessageException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ZeoMessageParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void setup() throws ZeoMessageException, ZeoMessageParseException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(receiver,
new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED));
getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(receiver,
new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED));
BluetoothDevice zee = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().
getRemoteDevice("**:**:**:**:**:**");// add device mac adress
try {
sock = zee.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(
UUID.fromString("*******************")); // use unique UUID
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Log.d(TAG, "++++ Connecting");
try {
sock.connect();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Log.d(TAG, "++++ Connected");
try {
in = sock.getInputStream();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Log.d(TAG, "++++ Listening...");
while (true) {
try {
bytes = in.read(arrayOfByte);
Log.d(TAG, "++++ Read "+ bytes +" bytes");
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Log.d(TAG, "++++ Done: test()");
}}
private static final LogBroadcastReceiver receiver = new LogBroadcastReceiver();
public static class LogBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context paramAnonymousContext, Intent paramAnonymousIntent) {
Log.d("ZeoReceiver", paramAnonymousIntent.toString());
Bundle extras = paramAnonymousIntent.getExtras();
for (String k : extras.keySet()) {
Log.d("ZeoReceiver", " Extra: "+ extras.get(k).toString());
}
}
};
private BluetoothSocket sock;
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
getApplicationContext().unregisterReceiver(receiver);
if (sock != null) {
try {
sock.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
super.onDestroy();
}
}
if you have the BluetoothDevice object you can create bond(pair) from api 19 onwards with bluetoothDevice.createBond() method.
Edit
for callback, if the request was accepted or denied you will have to create a BroadcastReceiver with BluetoothDevice.ACTION_BOND_STATE_CHANGED action
