*** ** * ** *** Public API for the Bluetooth GATT Profile server role. This class provides Bluetooth GATT server role functionality, allowing applications to create Bluetooth Smart services and characteristics. BluetoothGattServer is a proxy object for controlling the Bluetooth Service via IPC. Use[BluetoothManager.openGattServer](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothManager#openGattServer(android.content.Context,%20android.bluetooth.BluetoothGattServerCallback))to get an instance of this class. ## Summary | ### Inherited constants |

boolean addService (BluetoothGattService service) ``` Add a service to the list of services to be hosted. Once a service has been added to the list, the service and its included characteristics will be provided by the local device. If the local device has already exposed services when this function is called, a service update notification will be sent to all clients. The[BluetoothGattServerCallback.onServiceAdded](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothGattServerCallback#onServiceAdded(int,%20android.bluetooth.BluetoothGattService))callback will indicate whether this service has been added successfully. Do not add another service before this callback. For apps targeting[Build.VERSION_CODES.R](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#R)or lower, this requires the[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH)permission which can be gained with a simple``manifest tag. For apps targeting[Build.VERSION_CODES.S](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#S)or or higher, this requires the[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)permission which can be gained with[Activity.requestPermissions(String[], int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#requestPermissions(java.lang.String[],%20int)). Requires[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)
| Parameters || |-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `service` | `BluetoothGattService`: Service to be added to the list of services provided by this device.
| | Returns || |-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------| | `boolean` | true, if the request to add service has been initiated
| ### cancelConnection Added in[API level 18](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void cancelConnection (BluetoothDevice device) ``` Disconnects an established connection, or cancels a connection attempt currently in progress. For apps targeting[Build.VERSION_CODES.R](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#R)or lower, this requires the[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH)permission which can be gained with a simple``manifest tag. For apps targeting[Build.VERSION_CODES.S](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#S)or or higher, this requires the[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)permission which can be gained with[Activity.requestPermissions(String[], int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#requestPermissions(java.lang.String[],%20int)). Requires[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)
| Parameters || |----------|-----------------------------------------| | `device` | `BluetoothDevice`: Remote device
| ### clearServices Added in[API level 18](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void clearServices () ``` Remove all services from the list of provided services. For apps targeting[Build.VERSION_CODES.R](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#R)or lower, this requires the[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH)permission which can be gained with a simple``manifest tag. For apps targeting[Build.VERSION_CODES.S](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#S)or or higher, this requires the[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)permission which can be gained with[Activity.requestPermissions(String[], int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#requestPermissions(java.lang.String[],%20int)). Requires[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)
### close Added in[API level 18](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public void close () ``` Close this GATT server instance. Application should call this method as early as possible after it is done with this GATT server. For apps targeting[Build.VERSION_CODES.S](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#S)or or higher, this requires the[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)permission which can be gained with[Activity.requestPermissions(String[], int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#requestPermissions(java.lang.String[],%20int)). Requires[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)
### connect Added in[API level 18](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) ``` public boolean connect (BluetoothDevice device, boolean autoConnect) ``` Initiate a connection to a Bluetooth GATT capable device. The connection may not be established right away, but will be completed when the remote device is available. A[BluetoothGattServerCallback.onConnectionStateChange](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothGattServerCallback#onConnectionStateChange(android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice,%20int,%20int))callback will be invoked when the connection state changes as a result of this function. The autoConnect parameter determines whether to actively connect to the remote device, or rather passively scan and finalize the connection when the remote device is in range/available. Generally, the first ever connection to a device should be direct (autoConnect set to false) and subsequent connections to known devices should be invoked with the autoConnect parameter set to true. For apps targeting[Build.VERSION_CODES.R](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#R)or lower, this requires the[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH)permission which can be gained with a simple``manifest tag. For apps targeting[Build.VERSION_CODES.S](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#S)or or higher, this requires the[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)permission which can be gained with[Activity.requestPermissions(String[], int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#requestPermissions(java.lang.String[],%20int)). Requires[Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT)
| Parameters || |---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `device` | `BluetoothDevice`
| | `autoConnect` | `boolean`: Whether to directly connect to the remote device (false) or to automatically connect as soon as the remote device becomes available (true).
