    I am completely new to android programming and this is technically my first big project working on Android Studio. I am trying to create an android app that connects to my Arduino device via Bluetooth and eventually processes a .txt file.

    Currently, I cant seem to be able to enable Bluetooth. When I click the button which should ask for users' permission to activate Bluetooth, the app freezes and eventually crashes.

    I have included java and logcat. Any help on this matter?

    How does that help? BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED error will still occur when bluetooth is turned off on the device.

    I believe the error above is specific to having the permission removed from the manifest. Android still lets you instantiate a Bluetooth adapter if bluetooth is off on the device
