Apps Bluetooth scanning

[nerozero]

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!

Bluetooth has no knowledge of what apps are installed on the device. You can do a scan of "discoverable" devices, but you won't be able to determine whether or not your app is on there or not.
