Anyone can write an application that allow communication between two Android devices via bluetooth. My question: is that a good practise to have an application running in background and constantly trying to discover other devices (using bluetooth adator scan for other devices EVERY MINUTE, or every 5 minutes)?
Here's what I see in document: "Caution: Performing device discovery is a heavy procedure for the Bluetooth adapter and will consume a lot of its resources." Will the frequent Bluetooth scanning consume lot of battery? Will that make the phone very slow (if the user happen to be using the phone)?
The document I'm referring to is here: Bluetooth | Android Developers
Thanks
