An Android library by Nordic Semiconductor that simplifies working with Bluetooth Low Energy, handling connection, service discovery, bonding, and GATT operations. It wraps Android's error-prone BLE APIs into a reliable BleManager with retries and request queuing.
Use cases
- connect to a BLE heart rate sensor from an Android app
- read and write GATT characteristics on Android
- handle Bluetooth bonding and service discovery reliably
- build an Android app for Nordic Semiconductor devices
- scan and communicate with BLE peripherals
- implement BLE notifications and indications on Android
When to choose
- you are building an Android app that talks to BLE peripherals
- you want battle-tested handling of Android BLE quirks like retries and bonding
- you need GATT operations with request queuing and callbacks or LiveData
When to avoid
- you want a fully Kotlin coroutines/Flow-based API (consider the new Kotlin BLE Library 2.0)
- you target platforms other than Android
- you need Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) rather than BLE
