Android - Bluetooth receiver not working on advertising device

This is my first app working with Bluetooth in Androind and I'm having a kinda unique problem: the bluetooth receiver isn't working on the device that is advertising the bluetooth service.
I have tested the application in 2 phones at the same time (I'll call them phone A and B to explain better). At first I start the advertising with the phone A, then I start the discovery with the phone B and finally I press the button in phone B to send data. This button should first start the Gatt connection and if it's working it should then broadcast a message that confirms the connection. To see it I have used a Log in the Broadcast receiver but the result I get is this messsagge appearing only in the logcat of the phone B but not on the one of phone A.
I have looked at a lot of examples and post on Stackoverflow but I can't seem to find the solution to this problem.
So I really can't find what the real problem here is. Maybe I'm just using badly the Bluetooth classes or I just lack knowledge. In any case, here there is all the code of the MainActivity as it is the only class of this simple project.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
private TextView mText;

|| result.getDevice() == null
|| TextUtils.isEmpty(result.getDevice().getAddress()) )
return;
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder( result.getDevice().getAddress() );
builder.append("\n").append(result.getDevice().getName());
//builder.append("\n").append(new String(result.getScanRecord().getServiceData(result.getScanRecord().getServiceUuids().get(0)), Charset.forName("UTF-8")));

Your Peripheral (phone A) does only advertisement, but BluetoothGattServer is not set up. That could be a reason of the described behavior - advertisement & scanning work, but connection doesn't.
BluetoothGatt + BluetoothGattCallback are for Central role (you call it phone B).
BluetoothGattServer + BluetoothGattServerCallback are for Peripheral (phone A).
Notes:
Connection from Central side (phone B) looks good, because when advertised device found, you get it using bluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(address), then you call device.connectGatt
To transfer some data, you will need to add BluetoothGattService with BluetoothGattCharacteristic to your BluetoothGattServer - example of setup in Kotlin
Example project on github: BLEProof - it's in Kotlin, 2 apps communicate with each other: Central and Peripheral, all code in MainActivity.kt

How to display the RSSI of a BLE device continously?

I am trying to implement an android app that scans for BLE devices. Because I need some sort of distance information of the beacons I want to read the RSSI continuously. Currently I am able to display the RSSI but the value does not change. The application reads the value once and does not update the value. I used the sample BLE application from gitHub as a basis.
This is my Bluetooth device:
class DeviceHolder{
BluetoothDevice device;
int rssi;
public DeviceHolder(BluetoothDevice device, int rssi){
this. device = device;
this.rssi = rssi;
}
}
The list adapter:
private class LeDeviceListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private ArrayList<BluetoothDevice> mLeDevices;
private ArrayList<DeviceHolder> mLeHolders;
private LayoutInflater mInflator;
public LeDeviceListAdapter() {
super();
mLeDevices = new ArrayList<BluetoothDevice>();
mLeHolders = new ArrayList<DeviceHolder>();
mInflator = DeviceScanActivity.this.getLayoutInflater();
}
public void addDevice(DeviceHolder deviceHolder) {
if(!mLeDevices.contains(deviceHolder.device)) {
mLeDevices.add(deviceHolder.device);
mLeHolders.add(deviceHolder);
}
}
and the scan callback:
private BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback mLeScanCallback =
new BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback() {
#Override
public void onLeScan(final BluetoothDevice device, int rssi, byte[] scanRecord) {
DeviceHolder deviceHolder = new DeviceHolder(device,rssi);
runOnUiThread(new DeviceAddTask( deviceHolder ) );
}
};
class DeviceAddTask implements Runnable {
DeviceHolder deviceHolder;
public DeviceAddTask( DeviceHolder deviceHolder ) {
this.deviceHolder = deviceHolder;
}
public void run() {
mLeDeviceListAdapter.addDevice(deviceHolder);
mLeDeviceListAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
The Bluetooth GattCallback in the BluetoothLeService Activity looks as follows:
private final BluetoothGattCallback mGattCallback = new BluetoothGattCallback() {
#Override
public void onConnectionStateChange(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status, int newState) {
String intentAction;
if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED) {
intentAction = ACTION_GATT_CONNECTED;
mConnectionState = STATE_CONNECTED;
boolean rssiStatus = mBluetoothGatt.readRemoteRssi();
broadcastUpdate(intentAction);
Log.i(TAG, "Connected to GATT server.");
// Attempts to discover services after successful connection.
Log.i(TAG, "Attempting to start service discovery:" +
mBluetoothGatt.discoverServices());
} else if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED) {
intentAction = ACTION_GATT_DISCONNECTED;
mConnectionState = STATE_DISCONNECTED;
Log.i(TAG, "Disconnected from GATT server.");
broadcastUpdate(intentAction);
}
}
#Override
public void onServicesDiscovered(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status) {
if (status == BluetoothGatt.GATT_SUCCESS) {
broadcastUpdate(ACTION_GATT_SERVICES_DISCOVERED);
} else {
Log.w(TAG, "onServicesDiscovered received: " + status);
}
}
#Override
public void onCharacteristicRead(BluetoothGatt gatt,
BluetoothGattCharacteristic characteristic,
int status) {
if (status == BluetoothGatt.GATT_SUCCESS) {
broadcastUpdate(ACTION_DATA_AVAILABLE, characteristic);
}
}
#Override
public void onCharacteristicChanged(BluetoothGatt gatt,
BluetoothGattCharacteristic characteristic) {
broadcastUpdate(ACTION_DATA_AVAILABLE, characteristic);
}
public void onReadRemoteRssi(BluetoothGatt gatt,
int rssi, int status){
super.onReadRemoteRssi(gatt, rssi, status);
if (status == BluetoothGatt.GATT_SUCCESS) {
Log.d(TAG, String.format("BluetoothGatt ReadRssi[%d]", rssi));
} else {
Log.w(TAG, "onReadRemoteRssi received: " + status);
}
broadcastUpdate(ACTION_RSSI_VALUE_READ, rssi);
}
};
private void broadcastUpdate(final String action) {
final Intent intent = new Intent(action);
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
private void broadcastUpdate(final String action, int rssi){
Log.d(TAG, "broadcastUpdate - rssi");
final Intent intent = new Intent(action);
intent.putExtra(DeviceControlActivity.EXTRAS_DEVICE_RSSI, rssi);
intent.setAction(ACTION_RSSI_VALUE_READ);
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
I looked up the internet and Stackoverflow for guidance, but the provided solutions did not work for me. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android 6.01.
Does anyone have a hint how to display the RSSI continuously for non-connected devices (while scanning)? Any hints regarding wrong implementation are welcome too.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Sayus
PS: onReadRemoteRssi is implemented because I want to read the RSSI when the devices are conected as well. This functionality is not important at this time and is only nice to have.

Your application reads an RSSI value once and doesn't update it because when you add a new BluetoothDevice into your adapter, it checks if it already contains one.
if(!mLeDevices.contains(deviceHolder.device)) {
mLeDevices.add(deviceHolder.device);
mLeHolders.add(deviceHolder);
}
Instead, I would create a Map<BluetoothDevice,Integer> where you update the rssi value for the device: mDeviceRssi.put(device, rssi).

Android BLE onCharacteristicChanged() using notify not triggered

I made an app that communicates with an device via BLE. I wrote everything that was required for it's communication. The device receives the sent value via characteristic.setValue() , but doesn't return feedback in the method onCharacteristicChanged as is supposed to, in despite that has the descriptor set for notification. For instance i send "GTN" and should get "GTN deviceId" (like on iOS), but it calls just onCharacteristicWrite(). Checked also what properties the characteristic does support. It supports PROPERTY_NOTIFY & PROPERTY_WRITE_NO_RESPONSE. I ran out of ideas why it doesn't want to get that callback message. Can someone check and try to tell me if I made some big mistakes while sending/subscribing ??

i have notification work flawlessly with BLE.
i created this method to mark a characteristics notification enabled.
public void markCharForNotification(BluetoothGattCharacteristic readableChar) {
mBluetoothGatt.setCharacteristicNotification(readableChar, true);
List<BluetoothGattDescriptor> listDescr = readableChar.getDescriptors();
BluetoothGattDescriptor descriptor = listDescr.get(0);
descriptor.setValue(BluetoothGattDescriptor.ENABLE_NOTIFICATION_VALUE);
mBluetoothGatt.writeDescriptor(descriptor);
}
hope it helps

You might want to run the checkCharacteristicProperties on the notify characteristic also.
Anyway, the correct way to enable notifications is to check the properties first and enable notify or indicate, based on those properties:
BluetoothGattDescriptor descriptor = characteristic.getDescriptor(CLIENT_CHARACTERISTIC_CONFIG_DESCRIPTOR_UUID);
int properties = characteristic.getProperties();
if (descriptor != null) {
if ((properties & BluetoothGattCharacteristic.PROPERTY_NOTIFY) > 0) {
descriptor.setValue(BluetoothGattDescriptor.ENABLE_NOTIFICATION_VALUE);
} else if ((properties & BluetoothGattCharacteristic.PROPERTY_INDICATE) > 0) {
descriptor.setValue(BluetoothGattDescriptor.ENABLE_INDICATION_VALUE);
}
gatt.writeDescriptor(descriptor);
Hope this helps.

OnCharacteristicRead doesn't get called (Android tablet BLE communication)

My app communicates with a BLE module (High-flyer) connected to an Arduino Mega, upon connection I press a button which sends an array to the Mega which in return sends back 4 numbers.
The problem is some times I start the app & connection, send the data to the Mega but can't read anything in return. I can see that the Mega receives the first array being sent and also transmits the 4 numbers back, but nothing happens on the application side.
This bug comes and goes, sometimes everything works perfectly and sometimes it gets stuck, when it does I try to restart the app or reinstall it but apart from that I couldn't find any way to handle or solve it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
