I have two activities Main nd AvaiableDevices in Main activity i have a button btnAdvc in AvailableDevices 

public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
    Button btnAdvc;
    Button btnPdvc;
    Button btnDdvc;
    Button btnMdvc;

    public BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
    public static final int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 1; 
    public static  UUID MY_UUID=null;
    public  BluetoothServerSocket mmServerSocket;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        try{
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

            MY_UUID= UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB");    

            //Function enbling Bluetooth
            enableBluetooth();

            ///Function to initialize components
            init();

            //Calling AvailableDevices class's method searchDevice to get AvailableDevices
            btnAdvc.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {  
                public void onClick(View v) 
                {
                    call();
                }
            });
        }catch(Exception e){Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();}
    }

    public void init()
    {
        btnAdvc=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnAdvc);
        btnPdvc=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnPdvc);
        btnDdvc=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnDdvc);
        btnMdvc=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnMdvc);
    }
    public void call()
    {
        Intent intent=new Intent(this,AvailableDevices.class);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

I have a method searchDevices() in AvailableDevices activity 

public class AvailableDevices extends Activity 
{

    public BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
    public BluetoothDevice device;
    public ListView lv;//for Available Devices
    public ArrayList<String> s=new ArrayList<String>();
    public HashSet<String> hs = new HashSet<String>();
    public ArrayAdapter<String> adapter; 

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_available_devices);

        adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, s);
        lv=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);

        Intent intent=getIntent();
    }


    public AvailableDevices(BluetoothAdapter bt)
    {
        mBluetoothAdapter =bt;
    }

    public void searchDevice()
    {
        if(mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled())
        {
            mBluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();
            // Create a BroadcastReceiver for ACTION_FOUND

            final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
            {
                public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
                {

                    String action = intent.getAction();
                    // When discovery finds a device
                    if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) 
                    {
                        try{
                            // Get the BluetoothDevice object from the Intent
                            device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
                            // Add the name and address to an array adapter to show in a ListView
                            s.add(device.getName()+ "\n" + "#"+ device.getAddress());
                            //To avoid duplicate devices put it in to  hash set which doesn't allow duplicates          
                            hs.addAll(s);
                            //Clear all the devices in String array S
                            s.clear();
                            //Replace with hash set
                            s.addAll(hs);
                            //          
                            lv.setAdapter(adapter);
                        }catch(Exception e){Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();}                                          
                    }

                    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()
                    {
                        //A local bluetooth device to  Hold the selected device to connect
                        BluetoothDevice    devtoconnect;
                        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parentAdapter, View view, int position, long id)
                        {
                            try{
                                mBluetoothAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
                                //A local String array to hold the Name and address of the selected bluetooth device
                                String[] separated = adapter.getItem(position).split("#");

                                if(mBluetoothAdapter.checkBluetoothAddress(separated[1])==true)
                                {
                                   devtoconnect = mBluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(separated[1]);
                                }                                                                       
                                // Create object of Connect Thread Class to get connection                                    
                                // ConnectThread t1=new  ConnectThread(devtoconnect);
                            }catch(Exception e){}

                        }//Closes onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parentAdapter, View view, int position, long id)
                    }); //Closes lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()


                }//Coses function onReceive

            };//Closes  BroadcastReceiver 

            // Register the BroadcastReceiver
            IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
            registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter); // Don't forget to unregister during onDestroy

        }//if

    }// function searchDevices
}

when i click in btnAdvc of main the searchDevices() method of AvailableDevices activity should be called how can i do it?

From the code provided, it looks like searchDevices() method is not a kind of independent method and uses variables/properties decalred in AvaiableDevices class. So probably what you can try is some like 

    Intent intent=new Intent(this,AvailableDevices.class);
    intent.putExtra("CallSearchDevices", true);
    startActivity(intent);

And in AvailableDevices at the end of the onCreate method, 

    Intent intent=getIntent();
    boolean flag = intent.getBooleanExtra("CallSearchDevices", false);
    if (flag){
      searchDevices();
    }

I hope this helps

You should declare your method static so you can call it like that AvailableDevices.searchDevices() from your other activity

you can use broadcast messages. after the button click send a broadcast. and in the other activity register a BroadcastReceiver which will handle the brodcast. so whenever you have got the desired message then call the method in second activity.
