Pincode request Problem

Pincode request Problem

[nirav rabara]

Hi,

How to get PIN request and wait for the reply without using gnome.

My scenario is as below,

I have cross complied  Bluez-4.52 and using with my custom board with ARM.
./bluetoothd is running in background.
In my application I do DeviceDiscovery (hci_inquiry) and able get the
discovered devices addresses.

But when I tried to connect selected address from the discovered
address on RFCOM, bluetoothd is trying to get Pincode and get fails
because I am not using gnome on my embedded platform.(to solve this
problem I have hard coded Pin code in bluetoothd)

I am using Qt for GUI, Now I want to wait in bluetoothd  for Pincode
and  want to pass the pincode from Qt to bluetoothd , and then
bluetoothd should proceed.

In other way I want to pass pincode from one process to another
process, but I am using Qt not GTK which has been used in Bluez.

But is there any window to solve with problem, I mean any API OR any
document which can help me Or Is anybody has done something like that.

I have got few queries regarding to solve the above issue

1) Is it Strongly recommended to  write another application similar to
bluetoothd if I don't want to use GTK OR If I use custom board?
2) Is there any API that can I use to get Pin request and send the
PinCode to bluetooth deamon.
OR
Any Suggestion.

Your suggestion would be a great help for me....
Thanks in Advance

There's no GNOME or GTK+ dependency in BlueZ. The PIN is requested over
D-Bus so any application that can speak D-Bus can act as an agent and
respond to the PIN requests.

See the RegisterAgent and CreatePairedDevice D-Bus methods in
doc/adapter-api.txt as well as the full agent API description in
doc/agent-api.txt. test/agent.c is an example C implementation of an
agent and test/simple-agent an example python implementation.
