When i use bluetooth on my computer i have a choice of a few different types of devices to look for. One choice is "headset". I want to make an application that will connect to another device as though it is as though it were nothing but a headset. So the audio and microphone will route from the android phone to the other device. Is this possible within the bluetooth api? If so is the Bluetooth Chat example the best thing to start with for something like this? Most of the information I can find deals with the opposite situation(using an actual headset with an android device.)

Most phones are only bluetooth masters, cannot act as devices... I am afraid you are out of luck... Unless what you are doing is on a completely different device and in that case, no, the API will not handle that case.
