Smartwatch Support for Android Apps using Bluetooth

Hi there,

nowadays a lot of Smartwatch devices are out there. Probably some of you have already devices. As i like doing sports I have one of those famous vendors (Garmin, Fitbit, Polar, ...) out there. And those vendors all have Android apps available which connect via bluetooth to the devices and use internet connection for cloud sync purposes.

Now is was wondering: Can Sailfish 3's new updated Android engine be enabled to allow Android apps use the bluetooth stack (unlike AlienDalvik) in order to connect to the bluetooth device and then sync?

Meaning the underlying idea to allow Android apps to connect via bluetooth in general to devices out there. I would believe the Android apps bring all the business logic needed...
