Android Question BLE and location request

[red30]

I am using BLE. And on some devices (mostly new devices), for correct operation, you need to enable location detection, and on other devices, simply turning on the bluetooth is enough. How to determine where it is enough to turn on the bluetooth, and where you also need access to the location?
There is a program "nRF Connect". If I run it on my HTC (Android 9), the program shows that I need to turn on the bluetooth and allow access to the location (if I just turn on the bluetooth and start searching for devices, then there is nothing to sit around until I give access to the location).

If I run on Samsung (Android 4.4.2), then just turn on the bluetooth and the search will go fine.

How can you do the same with B4A?

It is based on the Device SDK.

android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion
It is alle listed there....

Is it possible to somehow find out which SdkVersion is on the device using B4A?

If I want to use targetSdkVersion = "28", then on Android 6+ devices I must somehow inform the user that further work is possible only if the user provides access to the location. And if the device is Android 6-, then I no longer need this permission, it's enough just to turn on bluetooth for further work.
