Request support for programmatic bluetooth pairing and unpairing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

-- Objective for requested feature
To be able to pair peripheral devices with Glass via bluetooth without needing 
a paired keyboard to enter pin. Ideally an app should be able to take a 
predefined pin as input and use it to pair devices.

-- Justification  
Commodity devices such as heart rate monitors require a simple pin or passkey 
while pairing them with Glass. Currently bluetooth settings don't support 
pairing or unpairing with those devices and neither does GDK.

Hello,

Thanks for the feature request! In the meantime, you can try some of the 
workaround that are available on Stack Overflow as they also do work on Glass:

Best,

This has been fixed with XE16 and the move to KitKat (API Level 19).

Thanks for the update!

Could you point me to an example of how it's done? The update has broken my 
workaround.

You should be able to use the BluetoothDevice#createBond() method directly 
instead of having to use reflection to access this method:
