Android Question Bluetooth permissions problem with Android 7

[Arf]

Hi,
My app attempts to automatically pair my bluetooth device when it finds it, but I am getting crashes at this point in android 7.

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Need BLUETOOTH PRIVILEGED permission: Neither user 10082 nor current process has android.permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED.

I have added the line "AddPermission(android.permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED)" in my manifest editor, but am still getting the error.

Any ideas?

Google first!

https://www.google.de/search?q=android.permission.BLUETOOTH PRIVILEGED&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwib94Oh28XWAhXFmBoKHazZBGUQBQgkKAA&biw=1661&bih=790

The answer is:
You can't use this permission if your app is a third party app (non-system app). To learn more, see Android API: BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED

So: No premade checks by yourself.... Note: Disqualified

Aaargh, I guess that puts an end to auto pairing :-(

Thanks, I will endevour to google prodigously first in the future!

Probably it will be harder in each new Android Version...

Ok so I've disabled it android 7+.
Now I have a problem as my app needs to know if pairing has been done before it continues.
Can I intercept an event that tells me the user has clicked the pairing OK button?

Maybe this, but I don't know if this applies to Bluetooth 2.1 or BLE only (I use 2.1)

If StartingIntent.Action = "android.bluetooth.device.action.BOND_BONDED" Then
