Android Bluetooth: Get UUIDs of discovered devices

Question

As I\'m currently working on a little bluetooth library for Android, I\'m trying to get all the service uuids of the devices I discovered in my surrounding.

When my

Answer 1

Here is a good example of how to get UUIDs of service characteristics from a service that I did for getting heart rate devices:

private class HeartRateBluetoothGattCallback extends BluetoothGattCallback {

    @Override
    public void onConnectionStateChange(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status, int newState) {         
        if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED) {
            logMessage("CONNECTED TO " + gatt.getDevice().getName(), false, false);
            gatt.discoverServices();    
        } else if(newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED) {
            logMessage("DISCONNECTED FROM " + gatt.getDevice().getName(), false, false);
            if(mIsTrackingHeartRate)
                handleHeartRateDeviceDisconnection(gatt);
        } 
    }

    @Override
    public void onServicesDiscovered(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status) {
        if (status == BluetoothGatt.GATT_SUCCESS) {
            logMessage("DISCOVERING SERVICES FOR " + gatt.getDevice().getName(), false, false);

            if(mDesiredHeartRateDevice != null && 
                    gatt.getDevice().getAddress().equals(mDesiredHeartRateDevice.getBLEDeviceAddress())) {

                if(subscribeToHeartRateGattServices(gatt)) {

                    mIsTrackingHeartRate = true;
                    setDeviceScanned(getDiscoveredBLEDevice(gatt.getDevice().getAddress()), DiscoveredBLEDevice.CONNECTED);
                    broadcastHeartRateDeviceConnected(gatt.getDevice());

                } else
                    broadcastHeartRateDeviceFailedConnection(gatt.getDevice());

            } else {
                parseGattServices(gatt);
                disconnectGatt(getDiscoveredBLEDevice(gatt.getDevice().getAddress()));
            }
        }   
    }

    @Override
    public void onCharacteristicChanged(BluetoothGatt gatt, BluetoothGattCharacteristic characteristic) {
        if(characteristic.getUuid().equals(UUID.fromString(HEART_RATE_VALUE_CHAR_READ_ID))) {
            int flag = characteristic.getProperties();
            int format = -1;

            if ((flag & 0x01) != 0) 
                format = BluetoothGattCharacteristic.FORMAT_UINT16;
            else 
                format = BluetoothGattCharacteristic.FORMAT_UINT8;

            Integer heartRateValue = characteristic.getIntValue(format, 1);
            if(heartRateValue != null)
                broadcastHeartRateValue(heartRateValue);
            else
                Log.w(SERVICE_NAME, "UNABLE TO FORMAT HEART RATE DATA");
