BLE Connection Management
How to establish, maintain, and optimize BLE connections in real-world environments.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)How to Implement an Android BLE Connect Flow
On Android, connectGatt() doesn't hand you a connection. It starts a request whose real outcome, success or a cryptic status 133, lands later in a callback. This walks the full connect flow from a scan result to a confirmed connection,…
