Android's bluetooth BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND is not being triggered?

I'm trying to manage several Bluetooth events from my app so the user will not need to leave the app & try to search/pair Bluetooth devices from Android settings.
I'm able to enumerate previously paired devices, and start discovery, however I cant find nearby devices.
Background info:
Device = Samsung Galaxy S6
OS = Android 6.0.1 , Kernel 3.4.0-750027
Bluetooth devices are visible via Android's own built in discovery
Here is my relevant code:
package experiment.xyz.abc;
import android.app.ListActivity;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;

/**

The BroadcastReciever's BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND is not being triggered/called although ACTION_DISCOVERY_STARTED OR ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED are being called.
Help please???
Thanks

Your code seems ok. I guess you have the BLUETOOTH permission (otherwise you wouldn't receive the ACTION_DISCOVERY_STARTED) but do you also have the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission ?
You need it to receive ACTION_FOUND :
ACTION_FOUND
Broadcast Action: Remote device discovered.
Requires BLUETOOTH and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION to receive.

You need to perform a realtime-Permission check to ensure that Coarse Location is enabled before discovering any devices.
To do this, you should be targeting/minimum SDK 23+ in your build.gradle file.
if (mActivityContext.checkSelfPermission("android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION") == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
final BluetoothManager bluetoothManager =
(BluetoothManager) mActivityContext.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);
if (bluetoothManager != null) mBleAdapter = bluetoothManager.getAdapter();
Register Intent Filters here
mBleAdapter.startDiscovery();
} else {
mInterface.requestPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, mCoarsePermissionTag);
}
mInterface is my interface back to my MainActivity

Is there a system action to discover and pair Bluetooth devices in Android?

The discovery and pairing process described in the Android Bluetooth Documentation is quite complex. Even a separate permission is needed for that: BLUETOOTH_ADMIN.
I wonder if there is a system action, that I just would call, that will handle the UI, return, and the I will just choose an already paired device. Or do I have to implement all that UI myself?

if you want to get the list of paired bluetooth devices you can use this code
public class DeviceList extends ActionBarActivity
{
//widgets
Button btnPaired;
ListView devicelist;
//Bluetooth
private BluetoothAdapter myBluetooth = null;
private Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices;
public static String EXTRA_ADDRESS = "device_address";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_device_list);
//Calling widgets
btnPaired = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
devicelist = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView);
//if the device has bluetooth
myBluetooth = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if(myBluetooth == null)
{
//Show a mensag. that the device has no bluetooth adapter
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Bluetooth Device Not Available", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//finish apk
finish();
}
else if(!myBluetooth.isEnabled())
{
//Ask to the user turn the bluetooth on
Intent turnBTon = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
startActivityForResult(turnBTon,1);
}
btnPaired.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
pairedDevicesList();
}
});
}
private void pairedDevicesList()
{
pairedDevices = myBluetooth.getBondedDevices();
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
if (pairedDevices.size()>0)
{
for(BluetoothDevice bt : pairedDevices)
{
list.add(bt.getName() + "\n" + bt.getAddress()); //Get the device's name and the address
}
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No Paired Bluetooth Devices Found.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
final ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list);
devicelist.setAdapter(adapter);
devicelist.setOnItemClickListener(myListClickListener); //Method called when the device from the list is clicked
}
private AdapterView.OnItemClickListener myListClickListener = new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()
{
public void onItemClick (AdapterView<?> av, View v, int arg2, long arg3)
{
// Get the device MAC address, the last 17 chars in the View
String info = ((TextView) v).getText().toString();
String address = info.substring(info.length() - 17);
// Make an intent to start next activity.
Intent i = new Intent(DeviceList.this, NextActivity.class);
//Change the activity.
i.putExtra(EXTRA_ADDRESS, address); //this will be received at NextActivity
startActivity(i);

Android - Issues with using Library Activity in another Application

I have made an application that allows many-to-one communication using Bluetooth and it is working perfectly fine. Now, i wanted to use the service of the application in another application (e.g. Discovering Devices, Connecting to Device). So, I marked my project as library and added it as library in my new project. However, when i call the Discovering Device Activity (Available in library) from the application, the activity starts, but it doesn't discovers the devices ? Can someone help on this ?
I have included all the library project activity and permissions in my app's manifest.
Here is the sample code for the same -
In Library -
This is how the DeviceListActivity Looks like -

mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (mBluetoothAdapter != null)
{
ensureDiscoverable();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DeviceListActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CONNECT_DEVICE_INSECURE);
}
}

Return type for the method is missing in registerReceiver

I am doing the basic tutorial for bluetooth here.
My code so far is
import java.util.Set;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;

//private static final int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 0;
ArrayAdapter<String> mArrayAdapter ;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_activity_blue_tooth);
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
if (mBluetoothAdapter == null) {
// Device does not support Bluetooth
}
/*if (!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);
}*/
Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
// If there are paired devices
if (pairedDevices.size() > 0) {
// Loop through paired devices
for (BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices) {
// Add the name and address to an array adapter to show in a ListView
mArrayAdapter.add(device.getName() + "\n" + device.getAddress());
}
}
}
// Create a BroadcastReceiver for ACTION_FOUND
private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
// When discovery finds a device
if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
// Get the BluetoothDevice object from the Intent
BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
// Add the name and address to an array adapter to show in a ListView
mArrayAdapter.add(device.getName() + "\n" + device.getAddress());
}
}
};
// Register the BroadcastReceiver
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter); // Don't forget to unregister during onDestroy
}
Eclipse is giving me a Return type for the method is missing error in registerReceiver. Could you give me a hint of what I am doing wrong here? Am I supposed to register my receiver in my onResume method? Sorry for asking something so trivial but I could not find the answer is StackOverflow.
I also looked here and here with no luck.

It is giving you error because you have defined it outside the method. Your code
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter); // Don't forget to unregister during onDestroy
is not inside any method, Just create a onResume() method like below and move your code in it.
#Override
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
