/**
 * Represents a remote Bluetooth device. A {@link BluetoothDevice} lets you
 * create a connection with the respective device or query information about
 * it, such as the name, address, class, and bonding state.
 *
 * <p>This class is really just a thin wrapper for a Bluetooth hardware
 * address. Objects of this class are immutable. Operations on this class
 * are performed on the remote Bluetooth hardware address, using the
 * {@link BluetoothAdapter} that was used to create this {@link
 * BluetoothDevice}.
 *
 * <p>To get a {@link BluetoothDevice}, use
 * {@link BluetoothAdapter#getRemoteDevice(String)
 * BluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(String)} to create one representing a device
 * of a known MAC address (which you can get through device discovery with
 * {@link BluetoothAdapter}) or get one from the set of bonded devices
 * returned by {@link BluetoothAdapter#getBondedDevices()
 * BluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices()}. You can then open a
 * {@link BluetoothSocket} for communication with the remote device, using
 * {@link #createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(UUID)}.
 *
 * <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong>
 * Requires the {@link android.Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH} permission.
 *
 * <div class="special reference">
