Bluetooth paring - android

Is there a possibility to force dialog show to user for entering a PIN.
I have a barcode reader, that on server side (I think), and he need to get a PIN code. But the problem is that all androids up 2.2 don't won't to show dialog. (The 2.2. show dialog and the pairing are ok).
In my code I reach discovering devices, and the next step is a paring.
I will be thankful for give me some explanations

A Simple answer would be NO, It can't be possible to force user in PIN dialog as it is system generated.
You may create your own System checking for bluetooth pairing. A BroadCastReceiver will help you in this matter.

Android Bluetooth pairing dialog shows less than 1 second

This post is here to help people from my brief experience with a bug of the Bluetooth pairing dialog on my phone.
Context:
I was unable to pair my smartwatch with my Google Pixel 5 running Android 12. When I try the pairing from the Bluetooth menu, the PIN shows on my Withings ScanWatch and the popup to enter the PIN shows on my smartphone. But after less than 1 second it closes automatically. So I wasn't able to enter the PIN :(
What I tried:
restart my phone and my watch
delete all my Bluetooth devices already paired
delete the cache of the "Bluetooth" application
do the pairing in safe mode
I don't want to reset my phone, so I would like to find another solution.
Solution:
Go in the "Developer options" (search on Google if not already enabled)
Check "Enable Gabeldorsche"
It is the new Android BLE stack written in Rust.
With this option checked, the dialog asking for the pairing PIN remains visible and gives me enough time to enter the PIN.
Hope it can help somebody ;)

I am using Xamarin forms to run on android & IOS . I tried to initiate the pairing by reading characteristic and receiving two pairing pop up. in IOS it is only one.

Android Bluetooth Discoverbility Dialog

when I want to connect a Bluetooth device I have to turn on the visibility of my device.
Is there a possibility to prevent the dialog which asks for permission to start visibility for a given time?
It should only start and not ask for permission.
Thanks for your help;)
Its a security mechanism of android. You cant remove it. But you can pair your devices, this causes that the dialogue isnt shown anymore.

Show default Bluetooth pairing request dialog

I am really struggling with this problem and I cannot find a way to do it. I need to show the default dialogs from Android when pairing with a Bluetooth device.
Right now I achieved to pair them programmatically with a quite easy method but it only works from API 19. And I need this to be done from API 18.
Right now, when I connect to a device in my app I get the notification asking to pair a device, but it doesn't show the dialog to do so. If I want it, I have to expand the notifications in the device and click in the pair request notification.
Is there any method which I could call, for example when I receive the notification in my broadcast receiver, to show me the default pairing request dialog? And after the user accepts the pairing and inputs the PIN just do the process to pair, dismiss it and keep using the app?
Your help would be much appreciated!

Automatic bluetooth pairing on button click

I have a problem that I want to do an automatic Bluetooth pairing on button click in android.
But I doesn't have any reference to do the same. Please suggest me any solution for the same.
After the pairing I have to transfer an Image. I don't know how it would be done? Please suggest If you have any suggestion regarding this also. But the first priority is to Automatic pairing.
Thanks in advance.
I don't think the system will allow you to pair automatically the first time. As far as I know there must be user interaction in order to turn on the bluetooth radio, and to pair (but not to "connect" to) a device.
