is there a way to "forget" a specific bluetooth device using a command on Android? (name or mac-address)

for a specific setup I need a way to automatically forget a bluetooth device my phone was connected to. I can use the name or the mac-address, that doesn't matter to me. but I need to be able to disable it without the need to manually interact with the settings app.

Solution

  • AFAIK there's no public method to do so, if you do not want to do it manually, you can do it using reflection using the removeBond method, it is a bit ugly, but it worked for me in old project.

    enter image description here

    fun removeBond(device: BluetoothDevice) {
    try {
        device::class.java.getMethod("removeBond").invoke(device)
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        //RemovingBond failed
    }
}

    ADB command should be something like this

    adb shell pm grant your.package.name android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN
adb shell am start -a android.bluetooth.device.action.REMOVE_BONDED --es android.bluetooth.device.extra.DEVICE "MAC:ADDRESS"
