In my first answer the logic is shown for those who want to go with the logic only.
I think I was not able to make clear to @chalukya3545, that’s why I am adding the whole code to let him know the exact flow of the code.

Add this permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
The output for this code will look like this.
