I am just getting started with android development. I would like to know if it is possible to use bluetooth to automatically scan for nearby devices that are running my app as well.

So for instance when i walk into my house it should automatically scan for another phone in the house running my app, and then say if it is running my app send a message to that phone. Any links of how to go about this would be appreciated.

Thanks!
