Answer 1

Getting the MAC address via reflection can look like this:

private static String getBtAddressViaReflection() {
    BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
    Object bluetoothManagerService = new Mirror().on(bluetoothAdapter).get().field("mService");
    if (bluetoothManagerService == null) {
        Log.w(TAG, "couldn't find bluetoothManagerService");
        return null;
    }
    Object address = new Mirror().on(bluetoothManagerService).invoke().method("getAddress").withoutArgs();
    if (address != null && address instanceof String) {
        Log.w(TAG, "using reflection to get the BT MAC address: " + address);
        return (String) address;
    } else {
        return null;
    }
}

using a reflection library (net.vidageek:mirror) but you'll get the idea.
