Public constructors

BluetoothGattService

Added in API level 18
BluetoothGattService (UUID uuid, 
                int serviceType)

Create a new BluetoothGattService.

Requires BLUETOOTH permission.

Parameters
uuid UUID: The UUID for this service
serviceType int: The type of this service, SERVICE_TYPE_PRIMARY or SERVICE_TYPE_SECONDARY

Public methods

addCharacteristic

Added in API level 18
boolean addCharacteristic (BluetoothGattCharacteristic characteristic)

Add a characteristic to this service.

Requires BLUETOOTH permission.

Parameters
characteristic BluetoothGattCharacteristic: The characteristics to be added
Returns
boolean true, if the characteristic was added to the service

addService

Added in API level 18
boolean addService (BluetoothGattService service)

Add an included service to this service.

Requires BLUETOOTH permission.

Parameters
service BluetoothGattService: The service to be added
Returns
boolean true, if the included service was added to the service

getCharacteristic

Added in API level 18
BluetoothGattCharacteristic getCharacteristic (UUID uuid)

Returns a characteristic with a given UUID out of the list of characteristics offered by this service.

This is a convenience function to allow access to a given characteristic without enumerating over the list returned by getCharacteristics() manually.

If a remote service offers multiple characteristics with the same UUID, the first instance of a characteristic with the given UUID is returned.

Parameters
uuid UUID
Returns
BluetoothGattCharacteristic GATT characteristic object or null if no characteristic with the given UUID was found.

getCharacteristics

Added in API level 18
List<BluetoothGattCharacteristic> getCharacteristics ()

Returns a list of characteristics included in this service.

Returns
List<BluetoothGattCharacteristic> Characteristics included in this service

getIncludedServices

Added in API level 18
List<BluetoothGattService> getIncludedServices ()

Get the list of included GATT services for this service.

Returns
List<BluetoothGattService> List of included services or empty list if no included services were discovered.

getInstanceId

Added in API level 18
int getInstanceId ()

Returns the instance ID for this service

If a remote device offers multiple services with the same UUID (ex. multiple battery services for different batteries), the instance ID is used to distuinguish services.

Returns
int Instance ID of this service

getType

Added in API level 18
int getType ()

Get the type of this service (primary/secondary)

Returns
int

getUuid

Added in API level 18
UUID getUuid ()

Returns the UUID of this service

Returns
UUID UUID of this service

writeToParcel

Added in API level 24
void writeToParcel (Parcel out, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
out Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written.
flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.

Hooray!
