Windows Phone 8: Listen for Bluetooth-Connections

I'm trying to listen for incomming bluetooth-connections from an Android-device to my WindowsPhone8-device

Is there any way to do that?

(for WP8 -> WP8 connections I could use the PeerFinder, but it won't work for Android / [any other device] -> WP8 connections).

The NFC on Windows Phone 8 are NDEF compatible "NFC Data Exchange Format" so this should be possible. I would check out the NDEF Library on codeplex to see if they have something "wrapped" in there to help you out.

You an also add it using Nuget

Adding NuGet ndef library to windows phone 8 project

Finally, this article talks about connecting Android to Windows 8 via NFC it should be the same for WP8
