1017944 - [Bluetooth]Support Passkey Display for HID keyboard

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1132345

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Bluetooth, defect)

Description

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

1. A Firefox OS Flame device with Firefox OS 2.0.0.0-prerelease 
   build Identifier 20140521160200
   flame/2.0.0/nightly
2. Tap on Settings
3. Tap on Bluetooth
4. Make sure Bluetooth is on
5. In the section "Devices in the area", select the name of your Apple bluetooth keyboard.
6. Tap to connect on the device name.
7. Message "Pairing with devices…"
8. Receive a window "Bluetooth Request-Form" with the name of the keyboard and a form for a code

Expected:
A code is displayed on the mobile device, that I will type **on the physical bluetooth keyboard** so it can be paired.

Actual:
The form stays without any clue for the PIN, until the time off message that the keyboard could not be paired.

Note there is a message barely visible (less than 1s before the form for the PIN code)

Gecko/Gaia did not handle a case "Passkey Display".
Passkey Entry: Initiator Display,  Responder Input, authenticated) --> Use case: HID keyboard.

Our Settings UX spec does not include this kind of use case. This probably needs to be added and support.

Hello Bruce, can you confirm if we are supporting passkey display? Tks!

An additional comment, that this feature will become useful for Firefox OS on tablet. One of the setup, for people remote working with Tablets from cafes and so on, is to use the tablet as a screen and an external keyboard for typing.

I would say this is a bug even if we did not handle HID profile currently.

I think new bluetooth api will cover Gecko part. Then we need gaia to handle UI.

Yes, new bluetooth API will notify gaia the passkey when we receive display passkey request for HID keyboard.

ni? gaia dev Fred.

Fred, does bluetooth app handle passkey display for pairing now? If so we can resolve this bug.
