Android connectInsecure

[vqc]

I was under the impression that connecting via connectInsecure meant that the user would not have to enter a pin in order to connect. I am attempting to connect an android phone to a bluetooth module on an arduino without having to input a pin, but every attempt is met with a pin dialog. What am I missing? Thank you.

Ninja Edit: "@mattwitkowicz you should get your device paired with the phone before running the sample code, then it shouldn't prompt you for a pin"

Is there any way to pair without requiring a pin? Or somehow passing the pin programatically without user input?

If the device needs a pin to pair, you need to enter it.

connectInsecure refers to the underlying bluetooth connection and was added for pairing problems with some devices. See #8 for more details.

Bluetooth Classic requiring a pin to connect is a feature, I don't think there's any way to bypass it. The peripheral should only need to be paired with the phone once, not every time. If you know the mac address and try to connect to an unpaired peripheral, Android should give you a notification to pair.

I'm trying to automate pairing for users. I'll keep an eye out to see if there's a way to pass the PIN programatically. Thank you for your work and your help.

Any suggestions on how to implement the following? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7337032/how-can-i-avoid-or-dismiss-androids-bluetooth-pairing-notification-when-i-am-do

@vqc There is a setPin method http://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothDevice.html#setPin(byte[])

I'd fork an existing Bluetooth Plugin like https://github.com/tanelih/phonegap-bluetooth-plugin and add a new method that accepts a pin
