BluetoothGattServer

addService

fun addService(service: BluetoothGattService!): Boolean

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 callback will indicate whether this service has been added successfully. Do not add another service before this callback.

close

connect

fun connect(
    device: BluetoothDevice!, 
    autoConnect: Boolean
): Boolean

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 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 or lower, this requires the Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH permission which can be gained with a simple <uses-permission> manifest tag.
For apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES#S or or higher, this requires the Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT permission which can be gained with android.app.Activity#requestPermissions(String[], int).
Requires android.Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT

getConnectedDevices

fun getConnectedDevices(): MutableList<BluetoothDevice!>!

getService

fun getService(uuid: UUID!): BluetoothGattService!

Returns a BluetoothGattService from the list of services offered by this device.

If multiple instances of the same service (as identified by UUID) exist, the first instance of the service is returned.
For apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES#R or lower, this requires the Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH permission which can be gained with a simple <uses-permission> manifest tag.

getServices

fun getServices(): MutableList<BluetoothGattService!>!

Returns a list of GATT services offered by this device.

An application must call addService to add a service to the list of services offered by this device.
For apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES#R or lower, this requires the Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH permission which can be gained with a simple <uses-permission> manifest tag.

notifyCharacteristicChanged

fun notifyCharacteristicChanged(
    device: BluetoothDevice!, 
    characteristic: BluetoothGattCharacteristic!, 
    confirm: Boolean
): Boolean

Deprecated: Use BluetoothGattServer#notifyCharacteristicChanged(BluetoothDevice, as this is not memory safe.

Send a notification or indication that a local characteristic has been updated.

A notification or indication is sent to the remote device to signal that the characteristic has been updated. This function should be invoked for every client that requests notifications/indications by writing to the "Client Configuration" descriptor for the given characteristic.
For apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES#R or lower, this requires the Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH permission which can be gained with a simple <uses-permission> manifest tag.
For apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES#S or or higher, this requires the Manifest.permission#BLUETOOTH_CONNECT permission which can be gained with android.app.Activity#requestPermissions(String[], int).

notifyCharacteristicChanged

fun notifyCharacteristicChanged(
    device: BluetoothDevice, 
    characteristic: BluetoothGattCharacteristic, 
    confirm: Boolean, 
    value: ByteArray
): Int

Send a notification or indication that a local characteristic has been updated.

A notification or indication is sent to the remote device to signal that the characteristic has been updated. This function should be invoked for every client that requests notifications/indications by writing to the "Client Configuration" descriptor for the given characteristic.

readPhy

fun readPhy(device: BluetoothDevice!): Unit

Read the current transmitter PHY and receiver PHY of the connection. The values are returned in BluetoothGattServerCallback#onPhyRead

removeService

fun removeService(service: BluetoothGattService!): Boolean

Removes a service from the list of services to be provided.

sendResponse

fun sendResponse(
    device: BluetoothDevice!, 
    requestId: Int, 
    status: Int, 
    offset: Int, 
    value: ByteArray!
): Boolean

Send a response to a read or write request to a remote device.

This function must be invoked in when a remote read/write request is received by one of these callback methods:

• BluetoothGattServerCallback#onCharacteristicReadRequest
• BluetoothGattServerCallback#onCharacteristicWriteRequest
• BluetoothGattServerCallback#onDescriptorReadRequest
• BluetoothGattServerCallback#onDescriptorWriteRequest

setPreferredPhy

fun setPreferredPhy(
    device: BluetoothDevice!, 
    txPhy: Int, 
    rxPhy: Int, 
    phyOptions: Int
): Unit

Set the preferred connection PHY for this app. Please note that this is just a recommendation, whether the PHY change will happen depends on other applications preferences, local and remote controller capabilities. Controller can override these settings.

BluetoothGattServerCallback#onPhyUpdate will be triggered as a result of this call, even if no PHY change happens. It is also triggered when remote device updates the PHY.
