Android send data to Bluetooth LE device, using HM-10 BLE Module

The previous post show how to "Modified BluetoothLeGatt sample for HM-10 (Bluetooth LE Module)", to receive data. In the original example code haven't handle send data from Android to Bluetooth LE device. It's modified to echo the received data back HM-10, to sender.


Modify BluetoothLeService.java to add method writeCharacteristic(BluetoothGattCharacteristic characteristic) to write data.

Hi there, great post!

According to what I see in the video, you're sendind data to the BLE through the arduino serial comm, not from android, right?

Where's the part where you write the data from android to the BLE?

Thanks!

Erik said...

hello RSisto:

Android sending data by echoing back the received data. Because the UI have no this part, so I simple send back the received data.

You can search mBluetoothLeService.writeCharacteristic(bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10) in the code.

I dont understand how I can send my own data using this platform. I see the mBluetoothLeService.writeCharacteristic(bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10) in the code but I don't know which variable I need to write to be sent to the BLE Device.

Erik said...

bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10.setValue(txBytes);

Tharnadar said...

Hi, i've a problem with instruction at row 126:
mBluetoothLeService.writeCharacteristic(bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10);

compiler says that the method does not exists.

thank you

In this line of code ..
//Check if it is "HM_10"
if(uuid.equals(SampleGattAttributes.HM_10)){
bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10 = gattService.getCharacteristic(UUID_HM_10);

}
I got an error to that HM_10 and UUID_HM_10
Please help

Hi All, I finally got this to work. I needed to add



in the AndroidManifest.xml. Before starting the app, make sure you enable "location"for this app in Äpplication Management".

Many thanks for providing this solution.

Hello , I download your sample code and run it , but I can't scanner any HM-10 Module.

Anonymous said...

For this error:

In this line of code ..
//Check if it is "HM_10"
if(uuid.equals(SampleGattAttributes.HM_10)){
bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10 = gattService.getCharacteristic(UUID_HM_10);

}
I got an error to that HM_10 and UUID_HM_10
Please help


posible solution:
//Check if it is "HM_10"
if(uuid.equals(SampleGattAttributes.HM_10)){
bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10 = gattService.getCharacteristic(mBluetoothLeService.UUID_HEART_RATE_MEASUREMENT);

}

Unknown said...

How can i send a string from Android to BLE with a click of button?

Unknown said...

This will help you:

mSend.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String val=mCommand.getText().toString();
bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10.setValue("$" +val+"#"+"\n" );
mBluetoothLeService.writeCharacteristic(bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10);
mBluetoothLeService.setCharacteristicNotification(bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10, true);
}
});

Alexandre LACROIX said...

Thancks for your code. The Best i have found for comunicating with an arduino.

I was just blocked on a point.
I needed to add in the manifest :



Easy to find. But you need to modify too th app/graddle
"targetSdkVersion" should be less than 23
Or look at this post : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32708374/bluetooth-le-scanfilters-dont-work-on-android-m
I dindn't tried but looks like a good method for a "targetSdkVersion" >=23

TW student said...

excuse me
i want to use Bluetooth LE to receive data

for example:
if(a ==1){
ARead.setValue(1)
}else{
ARead.setValue(2)
}

if receive data is 1 then show 1 else show 2

how i can do this
please help me..thanks

data cannot be sent to ble device from android app. Please share the video or the source code as soon as possible.

Hello shubham chetry:
Where to put the proposed code to send a string with the click of a button?

snoopy_94 said...

With the help of all, the application works perfectly. I just want to add the sending of a message by pressing a button. I would like to try the solution:

mSend.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String val=mCommand.getText().toString();
bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10.setValue("$" +val+"#"+"\n" );
mBluetoothLeService.writeCharacteristic(bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10);
mBluetoothLeService.setCharacteristicNotification(bluetoothGattCharacteristicHM_10, true);
}
});

But I don't know where to insert this code (I'm a beginner on Android!)
Please help.
