Bluetooth LE Gatt Example, scan BLE devices

Last post show the first step to enable Bluetooth, this post show how to scan BLE devices in range.


We will re-use the BluetoothLeService.java in Android example code "Bluetooth Le Gatt example". Modify to suit our case.

As shown in this video; there are three bluetooth devices running in range. This example recognize Genuino 101 and HM-10 (BLE module), but not HC-06 (classic Bluetooth module).

Hello excellent work!!

but only one question, what i need to do if i whant only show name of the device in scan result and not the mac address?

Erik said...

hello Cesar Eli Chavez,

In the example, the name of the device is "LEDCB". call getName() method of BluetoothDevice, device.getName() in scanResultOnItemClickListener of MainActivity.

Hello how to store BLE gatt charecter properties value to sqlite database..
please tell me
thank you

HI Eric, it's really easy and understandable.
But I am not getting any device list as it showing mBluetoothAdapter.mLeScanClients size = 0
could you please help me on that.


listBluetoothDevice = size 0
adapterLeScanResult = nul

hi
thise example don't work with android 8
help pls
