Find BLE device direction

I am working on the project using bluetooth device. In this i have found all the necessary information and found approximate distance between two devices using signal strength. Is it possible to find the direction of a bluetooth device from my android device(for example, in my mobile application i need to show the direction of a bluetooth device like "The bluetooth device is placed in north direction").

There is no way to find the direction by only using Android BLE information. But if you couple your application with additional sensors such as accelerometer/gyroscope then you could potentially find out the direction by looking at the difference of distance between your bluetooth device (considering it is an Android device as you added the 'android' tag) and the bluetooth device. That would obviously require the user to move.
