    copied!<p>I am using DeviceListActivity for discovering Bluetooth devices. This is the activity that is used on Android Bluetooth Chat program sample.</p> <p>I run the program on a virtual machine. </p> <p><strong>Problem:</strong> When I start scanning/discovering Bluetooth devices:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dtP3g.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>it lists duplicate devices name:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cIMJr.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I have one device that is discoverable but the program lists it more than once.</p> <p><strong>How can I prevent to list duplicate devices name?</strong></p> <p>The activity code:</p> <pre><code>package com.example.android.BluetoothChat; import java.util.Set; import android.app.Activity; import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter; import android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.IntentFilter; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.view.Window; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.AdapterView; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ListView; import android.widget.TextView; import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener; /** * This Activity appears as a dialog.

I don't know why an emulator has such problem!</p>
