Android Question Hidden bluetooth pairing notification

[Arf]

When I first pair my bluetooth device to my tablet via my app, I get a "Accept Pairing?" popup.
No PIN is required as the device I am connecting to is in JustWorks PIN mode, so it's just a YES or NO answer.

My app is a fullscreen app, and on some devices the "Acccept Pairing" notification doesn't pop up on top of my app, so users are going to not know it's there and this spells trouble.

I found the BtAutoPair library, tried it but it uses a PIN code and pairing with my device always fails no matter what pin I use, as it doesn't need a PIN.

so 2 questions:
1: Is there any way I can force the pairing notification to go on top of my app always?
2: I found some code here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/30362554
One line is device.setPairingConfirmation(true), which looks promising for me to use. So my question here is, is there any way I can run this code in B4A, or would I have to make a library to do that? I've never made a library before and know little about java so I am hoping there might be some inline method I can use.

Thanks

Create a service named BTPair.

1. Add this code to the manifest editor:

AddReceiverText(BTPair,
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.PAIRING_REQUEST" />
</intent-filter>)

2. In Service_Start of that service:

If StartingIntent.Action = "ACTION_PAIRING_REQUEST" Then
Dim jo As JavaObject = StartingIntent
Dim device As JavaObject = jo.RunMethod("getParcelableExtra", Array("android.bluetooth.device.extra.DEVICE"))
device.RunMethod("setPairingConfirmation", Array(True))

AddManifestText(
AddRecieverText(BTPair,
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.PAIRING_REQUEST" />
</intent-filter>)
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="28"/>

manifest erorr

Please post the error message, as text.

 

[moeinashkani]

error is:
Error parsing manifest script:<br />Line = 5, Word = (<br />

 

[Erel]

Your manifest code is wrong. AddReceiverText shouldn't be inside AddManifestText.

 

[moeinashkani]

thanks Erel, so it should be like this?

AddManifestText(
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.PAIRING_REQUEST" />
</intent-filter>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="28"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>)

SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "AraElectrodeLab")
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.DarkTheme)

Error parsing manifest script

Please note that there is a typographical error in the sample code:

AddRecieverText(BTPair,
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.PAIRING_REQUEST" />
</intent-filter>)

Must be: AddReceiverText

 

[Erel]

Please note that there is a typographical error in the sample code:

Fixed.

hanks Erel, so it should be like this?

No. Simply add the snippet at the end of the manifest editor.

 

[moeinashkani]

Thanks, but Erel said that AddRecivedtext not should be in manifest.

you said that it be " AddReciveText( " not "AddReciveText(BTPair,"


which is correct?

 

[Erel]

I don't understand why you make it more complicate than it should be. Just copy and paste it.
