Hi Eric, Thanks for your information.

I think i need to describe my question more specifically. I use the sample code and subscribe the message type "Pairing:Bluetooth" in the apps. When the BT device tap with the system and trigger the pairing process, my apps also can received the message. I try to decode the message to get the device information (ex the BDA, Mac address or device name) but I don't know how to do that. Reading from the document, it say "Pairing:Bluetooth" protocol is not intended to be use in apps. So i am looking for the solution for this approach. 

Pairing:Bluetooth

Windows subscribes to this message type to complete a Bluetooth pairing using proximity. This protocol is not intended to be uses in apps.

On the other hand, this should be the question first, if I want to make my BT device have tap and pairing capability, how and what data format need to write to the proximity tag? 

Thanks!

Answer 3

This is possible but not easy. Start with the this spec:

http://www.nfc-forum.org/resources/AppDocs/NFCForum_AD_BTSSP_1_0.pdf

Then formulate the correct OOB pairing data for whatever device you are trying to pair with, then you'll need to write a tag using NDEF:WriteTag.
