thats not a pairing request. It's a permissions popup.

So why the example show permission popup twice？What can i do for it？

[chipweinberger]

we ask for 2 different permissions when scanning.BLUETOOTH_SCAN & BLUETOOTH_CONNECT

                    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 31) { // Android 12 (October 2021)
                        permissions.add(Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN);
                        if (androidUsesFineLocation) {
                            permissions.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
                        }
                        // it is unclear why this is needed, but some phones throw a
                        // SecurityException AdapterService getRemoteName, without it
                        permissions.add(Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT);
                    }

but we only ask 1 at a time.

    private void askPermission(List<String> permissionsNeeded, OperationOnPermission operation)
    {
        // finished asking for permission? call callback
        if (permissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
            operation.op(true, null);
            return;
        }

        String nextPermission = permissionsNeeded.remove(0);

        operationsOnPermission.put(lastEventId, (granted, perm) -> {
            operationsOnPermission.remove(lastEventId);
            if (!granted) {
                operation.op(false, perm);
                return;
            }
            // recursively ask for next permission
            askPermission(permissionsNeeded, operation);
        });

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
                activityBinding.getActivity(),
                new String[]{nextPermission},
                lastEventId);

        lastEventId++;
    }

you'll need to submit a PR to fix it, by asking both permissions at the same time.

[chipweinberger]

you can try this code. You'll need to change the FBP code.

@Override
public boolean onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                          String[] permissions,
                                          int[] grantResults) {
    OperationOnPermission operation = operationsOnPermission.get(requestCode);

    if (operation != null && grantResults.length > 0) {
        for (int i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++) {
            if (grantResults[i] != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                // If any permission is denied, call the operation with false
                operation.op(false, permissions[i]);
                return true;
            }
        }
        // All permissions are granted
        operation.op(true, null);
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

private void ensurePermissions(List<String> permissions, OperationOnPermission operation) {
    // only request permission we don't already have
    List<String> permissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
    for (String permission : permissions) {
        if (permission != null && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission)
                != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            permissionsNeeded.add(permission);
        }
    }

    // no work to do?
    if (permissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
        operation.op(true, null);
        return;
    }

    // Request all permissions at once
    askPermission(permissionsNeeded, operation);
}

private void askPermission(List<String> permissionsNeeded, OperationOnPermission operation) {
    // finished asking for permission? call callback
    if (permissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
        operation.op(true, null);
        return;
    }

    // Store the operation for later use in onRequestPermissionsResult
    operationsOnPermission.put(lastEventId, operation);

    // Request all needed permissions at once
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
            activityBinding.getActivity(),
            permissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[0]),
            lastEventId);

    lastEventId++;
}
