Bluetooth OOB pairing using NFC in Gingerbread

[Praveen]

GB has added functionality to use OOB for Bluetooth SSP.
We can see that we have to call createBondOutofBand() in
BluetoohDevice.java for this. But how to access NFC classes to get OOB
information from remote device ? that part is not claer to us .
Can anyone please suggest .

Hi Praveen,

This support is based on recent enhancement of Bluez DBUS API's for
adding OOB support. In short
you need to have OOB plugin registered with Bluetoothd before OOB
pairing could be used. As i understand
it happens before SSP when the registered OOB plugin is asked for OOB
data for remote device.

I am not sure whether AOSP 2.3 NFC could be registered as valid OOB
data source for local Adapter/bluetoothd..

Jai: Please correct if I missed anything here?
