I've made an app, that is discovering nearby bluetooth devices and etc. I can get bluetooth adapter, open-close processes, get paired devices, discovering process. Everthing is fine but discovery process isn't working properly.
I tested my app on 5 different real devices. At the moment I realized I have a problem on Android version but I'm not sure about that.
My app's discovery process is working on,

Firstly, thanks @Tomasz Czura. I solved problem with multiple runtime permission request. Android Developer 6.0 Changes page says:
To access the hardware identifiers of nearby external devices via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scans, your app must now have the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permissions:
So, I added permission to AndroidManifest.XML:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
then I rearranged my activity like this:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
...
int ACTION_REQUEST_MULTIPLE_PERMISSION = 1; // Any number
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
int pCheck = this.checkSelfPermission("Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION");
pCheck += this.checkSelfPermission("Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION");
pCheck += this.checkSelfPermission("Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN");
pCheck += this.checkSelfPermission("Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH");
if (pCheck != 0) {
this.requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH}, ACTION_REQUEST_MULTIPLE_PERMISSION);
}
}
}
It worked.
