if (bluetoothAdapter != null && bluetoothAdapter.getProfileProxy(context, new BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener() {
    @Override
    public void onServiceConnected(int profile, BluetoothProfile proxy) {
        if (profile == BluetoothProfile.A2DP) {
            List<BluetoothDevice> devices = proxy.getConnectedDevices();
            for (BluetoothDevice device : devices) {
                if (device.getName().contains("Fast Pair")) {
                    // Connect to the device
