Bluetooth LE GATT issue - android

I'm quite new to Android Things and Bluetooth LE Gatt. I have tried the Bluetooth LE GATT server sample provided by Google. I run the Bluetooth LE GATT server sample on Raspberry Pi 3 and the Android BluetoothLeGatt client sample on my phone. I have edit some codes in SampleGattAttributes.java and
BluetoothLeService.java.
SampleGattAttributes.java
public class SampleGattAttributes {
private static HashMap<String, String> attributes = new HashMap();
public static String CURRENT_TIME = "00002a2b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb";
public static String CLIENT_CONFIG = "00002902-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb";
static {
// Sample Services.
attributes.put("00001805-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb", "TIME SERVICE");
// Sample Characteristics.
attributes.put(CURRENT_TIME, "CURRENT TIME");}
BluetoothLeService.java

When I click the Current Time, it shows 7 at data field. May I know where the number 7 comes from and why there is no notification when I change the time.

The code you have modified from the Android Bluetooth LE client sample might be mapping to the correct Current Time UUID, but it's still attempting to parse the data as if it's a single heart rate measurement inside of broadcastUpdate().
The code inside that method is parsing the data fields according to the heart rate measurement spec, but the data coming from the server is a current time value. Your client code needs to parse the individual bytes out of that characteristic as defined by the Bluetooth specification for current time.
Regarding onCharacteristicChanged() not being called, you need to verify that the server is actually receiving the subscription request. You can add logging to the server callback if you wish to see the registration happening, and the server will also log a message every time an update event is received that triggers a notification to subscribers.

I don't get bluetooth gatt services discovered when using android api 23 and more

My app works fine on android kitkat device but when I try it on marshmallow I can't receive bluetooth data (maybe I am not connecting to the bluetooth device also? I am not sure). It is NOT that I miss asking for permissions, I have fixed that some days ago when I couldn't even scan for devices, you can have a look here: Bluetooth LE can't find any device on android 6.0
There is a first activity where I ask for permission and scan the available bluetooth devices and when I select which device I want it moves to receive the data in the "Chat" activity (I tried requesting permission inside all activities but no result...), the important part of which follows:
private final ServiceConnection mServiceConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName componentName,
IBinder service) {
mBluetoothLeService = ((RBLService.LocalBinder) service)
.getService();
if (!mBluetoothLeService.initialize()) {
Log.e(TAG, "Unable to initialize Bluetooth");
finish();
}
// Automatically connects to the device upon successful start-up
// initialization.
tv.setText("Bluetooth initialized");
mBluetoothLeService.connect(mDeviceAddress);
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName componentName) {
mBluetoothLeService = null;
}
};
private final BroadcastReceiver mGattUpdateReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
final String action = intent.getAction();
if (RBLService.ACTION_GATT_DISCONNECTED.equals(action)) {
} else if (RBLService.ACTION_GATT_SERVICES_DISCOVERED
.equals(action)) {
tv.setText("Data are ready to be sent");
getGattService(mBluetoothLeService.getSupportedGattService());
} else if (RBLService.ACTION_DATA_AVAILABLE.equals(action)) {
displayData(intent.getByteArrayExtra(RBLService.EXTRA_DATA));
}
}
};
So, on android api 23 and more I make it until the text message "Bluetooth initialized" but then nothing happens. If I use an android kitkat device it correctly follows with the "Data are ready to be sent" message and lastly the displayData function is called which does the main job...
To help you I also post the RBLService.java code:

Ok, the problem was not exactly in the code. There is a bug, when you install app from android studio on marshmallow (and above?) it doesn't give or ask permission for storage. I had to set manually the permission on app and then it worked because part of the code was being blocked because of that...

Results in onCharacteristicChanged in array are not displayed properly

I want to get every value of the array messageBytes in onCharacteristicChanged method but the logcat message is a bit messy. I have made my values in bold style. Any solution to get every single array value? Thanks.

writeCharacteristic BLE API work only once

I am trying to write a characteristic value on a BLE peripheral. I am using the code mentioned below(writeCharacteristics method). I am able to write the characteristics on the peripheral on a button click, but this operation is successful only once. Subsequent write are not sent to the device as I can verify this from checking BLE logs over the air. Also the callback onCharacteristicWrite is not fired when I use the write characteristic API.
Here since I set the property in the peripheral, I am not performing any check.

I am using Android N and One Plus 3T hardware. Any comments on this is greatly appreciated.
What is the result of method call BluetoothGatt::writeCharacteristic(BluetoothGattCharacteristic characteristic)
According to the doc
it returns boolean true, if the write operation was initiated successfully
It will return false if you try to do more than one write or read in a row. You have to wait for the result of a previous read or write before doing the next one.
This is probably why it works only the first time.

Android Bluetooth LE not managing 2 simultaneous connections with RN4020

I have a problem trying to connect with 2 Bluetooth LE modules (RN4020) throught native Android Bluetooth LE API and based on the Bluetooth Gatt sample of Android developers (https://developer.android.com/samples/BluetoothLeGatt/index.html). I modified BluetoothLeService.java to hold many connections instead of only one.
This is my process:
1- Start a new service which handle connections
2- Loop to connect devices:
for(String address: addresses) {
mBluetoothLeService.connect(address)
}
3- Find characteristics I need
4- Send data:
mBluetoothLeService.writeCharacteristic(address, mCharacteristic, dataArray);
The thing is that when I send data to the first module, it receive it perfect (onCharacteristicWrite() in BluetoothGattCallback() is called), then I send data to the second module and everything OK! But when I try to send data to the first module again, it doesn't receive it (tested in the board and also onCharacteristicWrite() is not called).
I also try with Reliable Write:
btGatt.beginReliableWrite();
characteristic.setValue(bytearray);
btGatt.writeCharacteristic(characteristic);
btGatt.executeReliableWrite();
but the same problem. The callback:
onReliableWriteCompleted(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status)
Status code is 6 (BluetoothGatt.GATT_REQUEST_NOT_SUPPORTED)
I checked connection status to both modules and there were connected every time (no disconnection problem).

Any ideas or libraries to handle multiple BLE connections? Thanks!

android BLE polar h7

i would to to show the value of heart rate from Polar H7 on TextView in Fragment (not on the Activity). I used Google's example from the address: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth-le.html I have made BluetoothLeService class, and SampleGattAttributes help class. I'm posting the code of all three class. But, in the end my TextView does not change. Can you tell me where the break is. Thanks.

The line:
int flag = characteristic.getProperties();
in the sample code is expected to return the bit mask for the supported characteristic fields. It doesn't. It returns the characteristic properties, like PROPERTY_NOTIFY.
To get the bit mask for the supported characteristic fields, in the case of the example's Heart Rate Measurement characteristic, the first value of the characteristic needs to be read and used.
Thus replacing the line
int flag = characteristic.getProperties();
with something like
byte[] charValue = characteristic.getValue();
byte flag = charValue[0];
will work correctly.
