I read here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth.html that :

If you want your app to initiate device discovery or manipulate Bluetooth settings, you must also declare the BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permission

What I think is that methods like

cancelDiscovery()

isDiscovering()

startDiscovery()

requires the BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permission.

Are there any other methods that requires this permission?

Does this include BLE pairing?
