Review request for kdeconnect.


Repository: kdeconnect-android


Description
-------

(Note that this isn't ready for merging yet.)

This is an initial implementation of a bluetooth backend. This backend implementation can be run only on Android 4.0.2 or higher. There are several things that need to be worked out.

1. When requesting permission to enable Bluetooth (if it's not already enabled), `startActivityForResult` needs to be called. However, this must be called by a class that implements `Activity`. One possible solution is to call this on the home screen. Another is to just not request it.
2. Options for enabling the Bluetooth backend need to be added to the settings window.
3. Some sections of code may warrant a new thread being created, as they may take a while to run.

Testing
-------

Installed on my Android 4.1.2, and it correctly detected that there are 2 bonded devices. No crashes.

Note that since the KDE side doesn't have a bluetooth backend, much of the code wasn't executed.


Thanks,
