In the onStartCommand method I create a Timer that run the service every X time.
The "cycle while" can download all information of BLE device, throught onCharacteristicRead method.
Now the question is, if unit I can to read a characteristic, I turn off the BLE device, I can rileve this status change connection by onConnectionStateChange method, but the Timer it is never performed again.
Why the Timer is not execute again?

The service is blocked

I'm building a service that every times downlaod all the information of a BLE device and storage this data into a local database.
Now I'm building a service that do this jobs. If I try to start my application in debug from Android Studio it works never error. I'm try to do in background my application for 3 hours about, the service save all the information and the service is not locked.
Now, I'm building an APK file, I'm try to install it into the same Android device, but the service run only one times, after that it is not execute.
I'm using for test Samsung J3 with Android 7.0
What is my problem ?

Use Job Scheduler instead of service. Modern apps can perform many of their tasks asynchronously, outside the direct flow of user interaction.
If your app targets Android 5.0 (API level 21), we recommend that you use the JobScheduler to execute background tasks..

Android and BLE device

I'm building an app that should to connect a BLE device and download all the information that this device has storage in your flash memory.
So I'm building this code:
This is the Timer that I use to download ALL the information every X minutes:
TimerTask timerTask = new TimerTask() {
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)
#Override
public void run() {
valore = true;
int conta = 0;
while(valore){
conta++;
if (currDevice != null) {
mGatt = currDevice.connectGatt(getBaseContext(), false, gattClientCallback);
}else{
//provo a ricollegarmi al dispositivo probabile, abbia perso la connessione con esso
scanLeDevice(true);
}
try {
Thread.sleep(300);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
};
This is the method that I use to connect at BLE device:
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)
public void connectToDevice(BluetoothDevice device) {
//VERIFICO SE IL DEVICE è QUELLO CHE VOGLIO IO
if (mGatt == null && settingApp != null
&& device.getAddress().equals(settingApp.getAddressBleSX())) {
currDevice = device;
gattClientCallback = new GattClientCallback();
mGatt = currDevice.connectGatt(getBaseContext(), false, gattClientCallback);
scanLeDevice(false);// will stop after first device detection
}
}
This is the LeScanCallback():
private BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback mLeScanCallback =
new BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback() {
#Override
public void onLeScan(final BluetoothDevice device, int rssi,
byte[] scanRecord) {
Handler h = new Handler(getApplicationContext().getMainLooper());
// Although you need to pass an appropriate context
h.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
// Log.i("onLeScan", device.toString());
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2) {
connectToDevice(device);
}
}
});
}
};
This the last code to effectively download data from BLE device and storage it on SqlLite
private BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback mLeScanCallback =
new BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback() {
#Override
public void onLeScan(final BluetoothDevice device, int rssi,
byte[] scanRecord) {
Handler h = new Handler(getApplicationContext().getMainLooper());
// Although you need to pass an appropriate context
h.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
// Log.i("onLeScan", device.toString());
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2) {
connectToDevice(device);
}
}
});
}
};
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)

}
}
}, SCAN_PERIOD);

} else {

} else {

}
}
Now, if I try to start my application, I can download some data from BLE device as 35, 36 values. After that I received this message from onConnectionStateChange method
E/ERROR_SERVICE: Connection not GATT sucess status 128
So after this error, the timer stopped. After X minutes the method restart but I'm not able to download never error from BLE device.
So how can I download all data from BLE device every X minutes and until the BLE device have data storage in yuor memory ?

How to read characteristic from BLE device until it have results?

I'm building an app that should to connect with a BLE device.
This device, storage the information that retreive from its sensors in a queque.
It is possibile that at the time X, the queque of this device have 100 items value.
Now my Android application must to connect of it, and download the data of the characteristic untile the queque of devis is empty.
This is the code that I use to read one value at time. How can I change it to get all data ?

BLuetooth Gatt Callback not working with new API for Lollipop

I currently have a method which writes to the BLE devices to beep it. My Bluetooth Callback goes as follows :
ReadCharacteristic rc = new ReadCharacteristic(context, ds.getMacAddress(), serviceUUID, UUID.fromString(myUUID), "") {
#Override
public void onRead() {
Log.w(TAG, "callDevice onRead");
try{Thread.sleep(1000);}catch(InterruptedException ex){}
WriteCharacteristic wc = new WriteCharacteristic(activity, context, getMacAddress(), serviceUUID, UUID.fromString(myUUID), ""){
#Override
public void onWrite(){
Log.w(TAG, "callDevice onWrite");
}
#Override
public void onError(){
Log.w(TAG, "callDevice onWrite-onError");
}
};
// Store data in writeBuffer
wc.writeCharacteristic(writeBuffer);
}
#Override
public void onError(){
Log.w(TAG, "callDevice onRead-onError");
}
};
rc.readCharacteristic();
My ReadCharacteristic implementation is as follows :
public class ReadCharacteristic extends BluetoothGattCallback {
public ReadCharacteristic(Context context, String macAddress, UUID service, UUID characteristic, Object tag) {
mMacAddress = macAddress;
mService = service;
mCharacteristic = characteristic;
mTag = tag;
mContext = context;
this.activity =activity;
final BluetoothManager bluetoothManager =
(BluetoothManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);
mBluetoothAdapter = bluetoothManager.getAdapter();
}
final private static String TAG = "ReadCharacteristic";
private Object mTag;
private String mMacAddress;
private UUID mService;
private UUID mCharacteristic;
private byte[] mValue;
private Activity activity;
private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
private Context mContext;
private int retry = 5;
public String getMacAddress() {
return mMacAddress;
}
public UUID getService() {
return mService;
}
public UUID getCharacteristic() {
return mCharacteristic;
}
public byte[] getValue() { return mValue; }
public void onRead() {
Log.w(TAG, "onRead: " + getDataHex(getValue()));
}
public void onError() {
Log.w(TAG, "onError");
}
public void readCharacteristic(){
if (retry == 0)
{
onError();
return;
}
retry--;
final BluetoothDevice device = mBluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(getMacAddress());
if (device != null) {
Log.w(TAG, "Starting Read [" + getService() + "|" + getCharacteristic() + "]");
final ReadCharacteristic rc = ReadCharacteristic.this;
device.connectGatt(mContext, false, rc);
}
}
#Override
public void onConnectionStateChange(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status, int newState) {
Log.w(TAG,"onConnectionStateChange [" + status + "|" + newState + "]");
if ((newState == 2)&&(status ==0)) {
gatt.discoverServices();
}
else{
Log.w(TAG, "[" + status + "]");
// gatt.disconnect();
gatt.close();
try
{
Thread.sleep(2000);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
readCharacteristic();
}
}
#Override
public void onServicesDiscovered(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status) {
Log.w(TAG,"onServicesDiscovered [" + status + "]");
BluetoothGattService bgs = gatt.getService(getService());
if (bgs != null) {
BluetoothGattCharacteristic bgc = bgs.getCharacteristic(getCharacteristic());
gatt.readCharacteristic(bgc);
}
}
#Override
public void onCharacteristicRead(BluetoothGatt gatt,
BluetoothGattCharacteristic characteristic,
int status) {
Log.w(TAG,"onCharacteristicRead [" + status + "]");
if (status == BluetoothGatt.GATT_SUCCESS) {
mValue = characteristic.getValue();
Log.w(TAG,"onCharacteristicRead [" + mValue + "]");
gatt.disconnect();
gatt.close();
onRead();
}
else {
gatt.disconnect();
gatt.close();
}
}
}
This current method works perfectly fine for devices running KitKat and below. But when I run the same function on Lollipop, it beeps the device a couple of times and then stops working. From then on wards, whenever I try to connect, it says the device is disconnected and gives me an error code of 257 in OnConnectionStateChanged method.
I also get this error whenever I call this method -
04-20 14:14:23.503 12329-12384/com.webble.xy W/BluetoothGatt﹕ Unhandled exception in callback
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.bluetooth.BluetoothGattCallback.onConnectionStateChange(android.bluetooth.BluetoothGatt, int, int)' on a null object reference

at android.bluetooth.IBluetoothGattCallback$Stub.onTransact(IBluetoothGattCallback.java:70)
at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:446)
IS there anyone who has faced the same problem? I never encountered the object to be null when ever I tried debugging.

The problem has been reported to Google as Issue 183108: NullPointerException in BluetoothGatt.java when disconnecting and closing.
A workaround is to call disconnect() when you want to close BLE connection - and then only call close() in the onConnectionStateChange callback:
public void shutdown() {
try {
mBluetoothGatt.disconnect();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d(TAG, "disconnect ignoring: " + e);
}
}
private final BluetoothGattCallback mGattCallback =
new BluetoothGattCallback() {
#Override
public void onConnectionStateChange(BluetoothGatt gatt,
int status, int newState) {
if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED) {
} else if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED) {
try {
gatt.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d(TAG, "close ignoring: " + e);
}
}

try {
mBluetoothGatt.disconnect();

On each BLE event it broadcasts intents via LocalBroadcastManager.

Thanks for pointing the problem Shashank.
I have looked at the Google example and followed what they recommend, it works like a charm with my device.
You should call the close() function in your onUnbind and the disconnect() when you need to, for example when you quit your application.
