public class GattService

  1. Object
  2. GattService

A service discovered on a remote GATT server via BlePeripheral.discoverServices(). Groups the GattCharacteristics the peripheral exposes.

Instances are constructed by the port during service discovery; application code never creates them.

Constructors

public GattService(BlePeripheral peripheral, BluetoothUuid uuid, boolean primary, int instanceId)Constructed by ports during service discovery; not application API.

Methods

public BluetoothUuid getUuid()The UUID identifying this service.
public boolean isPrimary()true for a primary service, false for a secondary one.
public int getInstanceId()Disambiguates multiple instances of the same service UUID on one peripheral.
public BlePeripheral getPeripheral()The peripheral this service belongs to.
public List<GattCharacteristic> getCharacteristics()The characteristics of this service, in discovery order.
public GattCharacteristic getCharacteristic(BluetoothUuid uuid)The first characteristic with the given UUID, or null when the service has none.
public List<GattService> getIncludedServices()Secondary services included by this service; usually empty.
public void addCharacteristic(GattCharacteristic characteristic)Called by ports while building the discovered GATT database; not application API.
public void addIncludedService(GattService service)Called by ports while building the discovered GATT database; not application API.
public String toString()Returns a string representation of the object.

The UUID identifying this service.

isPrimary

public boolean isPrimary()
true for a primary service, false for a secondary one.

public int getInstanceId()
Disambiguates multiple instances of the same service UUID on one peripheral.

getPeripheral

public BlePeripheral getPeripheral()

getIncludedServices

public List<GattService> getIncludedServices()

addCharacteristic

Called by ports while building the discovered GATT database; not application API.

toString

public String toString()
Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that “textually represents” this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method. The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@’, and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of: getClass().getName() + ‘@’ + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
