Get Bluetooth local mac address in Marshmallow
zmarties is right but you can still get the mac address via reflection or Settings.Secure:
String macAddress = android.provider.Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), "bluetooth_address");
Access to the mac address has been deliberately removed:
To provide users with greater data protection, starting in this release, Android removes programmatic access to the device’s local hardware identifier for apps using the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth APIs.
(from Android 6.0 Changes)
You can access Mac address from the file "/sys/class/net/" + networkInterfaceName+ "/address" ,where networkInterfaceName can be wlan0 or eth1.But Its permission may be read-protected,so it may not work in some devices. I am also attaching the code part which i got from SO.
public static String getWifiMacAddress() {
try {
String interfaceName = "wlan0";
List<NetworkInterface> interfaces = Collections
.list(NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces());
for (NetworkInterface intf : interfaces) {
if (!intf.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(interfaceName)) {
continue;
}
byte[] mac = intf.getHardwareAddress();
if (mac == null) {
return "";
}
StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
for (byte aMac : mac) {
buf.append(String.format("%02X:", aMac));
}
if (buf.length() > 0) {
buf.deleteCharAt(buf.length() - 1);
}
return buf.toString();
}
} catch (Exception exp) {
exp.printStackTrace();
}
return "";
}
First the following permissions have to be added to Manifest;
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.LOCAL_MAC_ADDRESS" />
Then,
public static final String SECURE_SETTINGS_BLUETOOTH_ADDRESS = "bluetooth_address";
String macAddress = Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), SECURE_SETTINGS_BLUETOOTH_ADDRESS);
After that the application has to be signed with OEM / System key. Tested and verified on Android 8.1.0.
