Android Things and creating a Bluetooth server client
I am new to Android Things but not Android development. I want to build a screen-less IOT device using Android Things that allows users to connect to it via Bluetooth. Which then, a user can send the wifi credentials to for an Internet connection. I am familiar with the client side of Bluetooth Android development but have never worked with the server side. Where would I look for more info? What pitfalls should I be aware of?

Questions seeking to find an offsite resource and "what are some" questions seeking a list are both off topic in the stack exchange system. Try reading the documentation and doing a web search for relevant examples. Also decide if you are thinking of classic bluetooth (which won't work from a iOS client) or BLE which is presumably not all that different on android things than everyday Android. And realize that terms like "client" and "server" don't entirely map.
