Nice presentation! Just a clarification: in BLE, the concept of "pairing" does actually exist, and there is security available. The old "pairing" term in Classic Bluetooth is mirrored in BLE by another term called "bonding". The key is that you don't have to use bonding and securing the connection if you don't need it, but it's also there if you do need it! Also, most BLE devices actually stay connected and "do not drop the connection" as suggested by the presenter, instead the two devices remain connected (for as long as possible) but only wake up the radio to send data and then go back to "sleep" in order to conserve power (this happens primarily on the "peripheral" which is the device that is usually battery powered).

wow, never expected any video on you tube to teach me so many things in less than an hour. Thanks a lot.

Best presentation about BLE on UKposts. Thank you very much.

The best intro presentation I've found on BLE, thank you for this.

I'm a Junior Android dev and i just got assigned a task where i have to use BLE, but the LeScanCallback on the project wasn't triggering. Thanks to your vid i understood how can i do the scanning and pairing with a device (thanks to the ScanCallback , wich is what you used, everything worked!). And this is so great since there isn't concrete tutorials or documentation about BLE. Thank you once again.

Thanks for the explanation. It helped clear a lot of doubts I had.

Hey, you kind of ... saved my life, buddy ! This vid' helped me a lot for my school project where i had to explain how BLE works. The best part is that i had no interest for my project but with your video i kinda have now.

Thank you for the upload!

Thank you very much, this was very helpful!

I wrote something quite similar in Java. I have everything else pretty much the same, I had written Scan and gattCallback methods in a similar fashion. Unfortunately the scanCallback doesn't seem to trigger. So I've been looking for working examples online, so far to no avail

awesome instructor and great work helps a lot for developer community

Lovely conceptual video. Amazingly elucidated.

thank you so much !

Nice talk. Clear explanation.

Thanks for the tutorial. It helped clear some stuff. Some quick questions: 1. what does expandUuid() do in your gattCallback object/class? 2. If all I'm doing is reading from the characteristic would I essentially just have your code that you have for OnCharacteristicChanged in OnCharacteristicRead? For example in my OnCharacteristicRead function I would have a line that just has "val readData= characteristic!!.value[0].toInt()?

Hello thanks can i make the same in arduino with hm 10 ble module?

Excellent presentation. Everything explained concisely and to the point. But please increase the audio volume. I had to try out many earphones and speakers to watch this video.

Android dfu ? I want to understand that

I am and creating an application to connect to an Arduino Nano BLE, is there a way for me to connect to it directly using the MAC address or manufacturer ID?

Does anyone know what's the library used for the runWithPermissions extension?

Thank you so much for this presentation! It cleared a lot of questions I had. I am newbie for Android Kotlin and I am coming from embedded world (8bit microcontrollers). Would you be able to share the code of this presentation somehow? Github maybe?

slides or github link?

Hmm, Android Studio doesn't seem to be able to find Quickpermissions, despite setting up both build files as instructed. That's turning this tutorial into a bit of a dead end.
