Android Question Bluetooth: How to handle incoming file notification?

[FrankBerra]

Hi all

I am trying to figure out how to handle incoming file notification for a file transmitted through Bluetooth.

This is the scenario:
- both devices are NOT paired
- both BT adapters are visible
- I DON'T want and I don't need to pair devices. I just need to know the name of the incoming file. (When i send the file from one device to another, Android shows me the name of the file even if i not accept the transfer)

What i am searching to do is:
- send a file from device "A" to device "B".
- device "B" detects an incoming file (Android shows me a notification)
- if incoming file is for example "test.txt" i want to dismiss/reject file transfer automatically without user intervention and possibly removing (or not displaying at all) android notification

Should i use some broadcast receiver? Intent? or something else?

Thanks in advance!

The only way to have any control over the file transfer is by implementing it yourself. However this means that your app will need to run on both devices.

Of course i want to implement it by myself but HOW to catch incoming file notification and "read" the informations about the file is coming in? Is it possible without pairing?

You can use Serial with BluetoothAdmin to start the pairing process and then transfer files or data.
