Answer 1

Starting with API 23 (Marshmallow) there are two changes which affect your code:

1. In order to receive BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND your app must have one of the location permissions (eg ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION ).

2. The permissions model changed in API 23, requiring runtime permission handling for dangerous level permissions, which both of the above location based permissions are.

So you'll need to add one of the location permissions to your manifest and also have to add runtime permission handling. Or, if you are not ready to support API 23+, set your target API version to 22 or lower.

Answer 2

Use these permissions in Android Manifest file. Your issues will be solved.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
