Bluetooth LE PhoneGap Plugin

====================

Supported platforms

Limitations / Issues

  • Warning: Phonegap, Android, iOS and Objective C are all very new to me.
  • iOS doesn't prompt user to enable Bluetooth if disabled like Android does. It's probably possible, but I just forgot until right before comitting the latest changes. This is now configurable using the "request" property in initialize.
  • Tested with a heart rate monitor, so some scenarios especially those involving writing characteristics may not work as I was unable to test it. If you run into an issue, log it and I'll try to fix it. If you let me borrow a device, I can probably fix it even quicker. :)
  • Limited to connecting to a single device at a time (Pretty sure it's feasible and not too difficult to implement, but a low priorty for my original project) ** Hope to begin working on this starting in July
  • All discovery, read and write operations must be done sequentially. i.e read characteristic x1234, wait for read result, read characteristic x5678, wait for read result, etc. More info on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18011816/has-native-android-ble-gatt-implementation-synchronous-nature (Eventually queuing could be added, but a low priority for my original project) There's now support for multiple operations. For example, you can write characteristic A or read characteristic B while subscribed to characteristic C.
  • No support for Windows Phone currently. **Update: Windows Phone 8.1 supports Bluetooth LE and devices are pretty cheap, so this will be a priority as soon as it's released. I'm planning to buy a Windows 8.1 Phone by the end of June.
  • Disconnecting and quickly reconnecting causes issues on Android. The device becomes connected again, but then quickly disconnects. Adding a timeout before reconnecting fixed the issue for me. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the plugin or Android's Bluetooth LE implementation.
  • For subscribing, indication hasn't been tested since my heart rate monitor doesn't support it.
  • Characteristic properties are not returned during discovery. If anyone requests this, I should be able to add it fairly easily.
  • Characteristic and descriptor permissions are not returned during discovery. If anyone requests this, I should be able to add it fairly easily, at least for Android. iOS doesn't appear to use permissions.

Discovery Android vs iOS

Discovery works differently between Android and iOS. In Android, a single function is called to initiate discovery of all services, characteristics and descriptors on the device. In iOS, a single function is called to discover the device's services. Then another function to discover the characteristics of a particular service. And then another function to discover the descriptors of a particular characteristic. The Device plugin (http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/cordova_device_device.md.html#Device) should be used to properly determine the device and make the proper calls if necessary. Additionally, if a device is disconnected, it must be rediscovered when running on iOS.

UUIDs

UUIDs can be 16 bits or 128 bits. The "out of the box" UUIDs from the link below are 16 bits. Since iOS returns the 16 bit version of the "out of the box" UUIDs even if a 128 bit UUID was used in the parameters, the 16 bit version should always be used for the "out of the box" UUIDs for consistency. Android on the other hand only uses the 128 bit version, but the plugin will automatically convert 16 bit UUIDs to the 128 bit version on input and output.

Installation

If you are using phonegap add the plugin to your app by running the command below:

phonegap local plugin add https://github.com/randdusing/BluetoothLE

If you are using apache cordova use this instead:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/randdusing/BluetoothLE

Read the documentation below.

Updating

Updating the plugin for iOS causes BluetoothLePlugin.m to be removed from the Compile Sources and CoreBluetooth.framework to be removed from Link Binary with Libraries. To fix:

  • Click your project to open the "properties" window
  • Click your target
  • Click Build Phases
  • Ensure BluetoothLePlugin.m is added to the Compile Sources
  • Ensure CoreBluetooth.framework is added to the Link Binary with Libraries

  • isDisconnected - Device is disconnected (Don't call disconnect)

For example:

{"error":"startScan", "message":"Scanning already started"}

Life Cycle

  1. initialize
  2. scan (if device address is unknown)
  3. connect
  4. discover (Android) OR services/characteristics/descriptors (iOS)
  5. read/subscribe/write characteristics/descriptors
  6. disconnect
  7. close

initialize

Initialize Bluetooth on the device. Must be called before anything else. If Bluetooth is disabled, the user will be prompted to enable it on Android devices. Note: Although Bluetooth initialization could initially be successful, there's no guarantee whether it will stay enabled. Each call checks whether Bluetooth is disabled. If it becomes disabled, the user must reinitialize Bluetooth, connect to the device, start a read/write operation, etc. If Bluetooth is disabled, you can request the user to enable it by setting the request property to true. The request property in the params argument is optional and defaults to false.

bluetoothle.initialize(initializeSuccessCallback, initializeErrorCallback, params);
Params
  • request = true/false
{"request":true};
Success Return
{"status":"initialized"}

startScan

Scan for Bluetooth LE devices. Since scanning is expensive, stop as soon as possible. The Phonegap app should use a timer to limit the scan interval.

bluetoothle.startScan(startScanSuccessCallback, startScanErrorCallback, params);
Params
  • serviceUuids = An array of service IDs to filter the scan or empty array / null
{"serviceUuids":["180D", "180F"]}
Success Return
  • scanStarted = Scan has started
  • scanResult = Scan has found a device
    • name = the device's display name
    • address = the device's address / identifier for connecting to the object
    • rssi = signal strength
    • advertisement = advertisement data in encoded string of bytes, use bluetoothle.encodedStringToBytes() - Only tested in Android so far!
{"status":"scanStarted"};
{"status":"scanResult","address":"01:23:45:67:89:AB","name":"Polar H7","rssi":-5}; /* Android */
{"status":"scanResult","address":"XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX","name":"Polar H7","rssi":-5}; /* iOS */

stopScan

Stop scan for Bluetooth LE devices. Since scanning is expensive, stop as soon as possible. The Phonegap app should use a timer to limit the scanning time.

bluetoothle.stopScan(stopScanSuccessCallback, stopScanErrorCallback);
Return
  • scanStop = Scan has stopped
{"status":"scanStopped"}

connect

Connect to a Bluetooth LE device. The Phonegap app should use a timer to limit the connecting time in case connecting is never successful. Once a device is connected, it may disconnect without user intervention. The original connection callback will be called again and receive an object with status => disconnected. To reconnect to the device, use the reconnect method. Before connecting to a new device, the current device must be disconnected and closed. If a timeout occurs, the connection attempt should be canceled using disconnect().

bluetoothle.connect(connectSuccessCallback, connectErrorCallback, params);
Params
  • address = The address/identifier provided by the scan's return object
{"address":"01:23:45:67:89:AB"} /* Android */
{"address":"XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"} /* iOS */
Success Return
{"status":"connecting","address":"01:23:45:67:89:AB","name":"Polar H7"}
{"status":"connected","address":"01:23:45:67:89:AB","name":"Polar H7"}
{"status":"disconnecting","address":"01:23:45:67:89:AB","name":"Polar H7"}
{"status":"disconnected","address":"01:23:45:67:89:AB","name":"Polar H7"}

reconnect

Reconnect to a previously connected Bluetooth device. The Phonegap app should use a timer to limit the connecting time. If a timeout occurs, the reconnection attempt should be canceled using disconnect().

bluetoothle.reconnect(reconnectSuccessCallback, reconnectErrorCallback);
Success Return

See return object for connect

disconnect

Disconnect from a Bluetooth LE device.

bluetoothle.disconnect(disconnectSuccessCallback, disconnectErrorCallback);
Return

See return object for connect, specifically disconnecting and disconnected.

close

Close/dispose a Bluetooth LE device. Must disconnect before closing.

bluetoothle.close(closeSuccessCallback, closeErrorCallback);
Success Return
{"status":"closed","address":"01:23:45:67:89:AB","name":"Polar H7"}

discover

Discover all the devices services, characteristics and descriptors. Doesn't need to be called again after disconnecting and then reconnecting. Android support only. Calling on iOS will return void.

bluetoothle.discover(discoverSuccessCallback, discoverErrorCallback);
Return

Device Object:

  "name":"Polar H7",
  "services":[
    {
      "serviceUuid":"180d",
      "characteristics":[
        {
          "characteristicUuid":"2a37",

            {
              "descriptorUuid":"2902"
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "characteristicUuid":"2a38",
          "descriptors":[]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

services

Discover the device's services. Not providing an array of services will return all services and take longer to discover. iOS support only. Calling on Android will return void.

bluetoothle.services(servicesSuccessCallback, servicesErrorCallback, params);
Params
  • serviceUuids = An array of service IDs to filter the scan or empty array / null
{"serviceUuids":["180D","180F"]};
Success Return
{"status":"discoverServices","serviceUuids":["180D","180F"]}

characteristics

Discover the service's characteristics. Not providing an array of characteristics will return all characteristics and take longer to discover. iOS support only. Calling on Android will return void.

bluetoothle.characteristics(characteristicsSuccessCallback, characteristicsErrorCallback, params);
Params
{"serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuids":["2A37","2A38"]}
Success Return
{"status":"discoverCharacteristics","serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuids":["2A37","2A38"]}

Discover the characteristic's descriptors. iOS support only. Calling on Android will return void.

bluetoothle.characteristics(descriptorsSuccessCallback, descriptorsErrorCallback, params);
Params
{"serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37"};
Success Return
{"status":"discoverDescriptors","serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37","descriptorUuids":["2902"]}

read

Read a particular service's characteristic once.

bluetoothle.read(readSuccessCallback, readErrorCallback, params);
Params
{"serviceUuid":"180F","characteristicUuid":"2A19"}
Success Return

Value is a base64 encoded string of read bytes. Use bluetoothle.encodedStringToBytes(obj.value) to convert to a unit8Array. See characteristic's specification and example below on how to correctly parse this.

{"status":"read","serviceUuid":"180F","characteristicUuid":"2A19","value":""}

subscribe

Subscribe to a particular service's characteristic. Once a subscription is no longer needed, execute unsubscribe in a similar fashion. The Client Configuration descriptor will automatically be written to enable notification/indication.

bluetoothle.subscribe(subscribeSuccessCallback, subscribeErrorCallback, params);
Params
{"serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37","isNotification":true}
  • isNotification is only required on Android. True (or null) means notification will be enabled. False means indication will be enabled.
Success Return

Value is a base64 encoded string of read bytes. Use bluetoothle.encodedStringToBytes(obj.value) to convert to a unit8Array. See characteristic's specification and example below on how to correctly parse this.

{"status":"subscribed","serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37"}
{"status":"subscribedResult","serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37","value":""}

unsubscribe

Unsubscribe to a particular service's characteristic.

Params
{"serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37"}
Success Return
{"status":"unsubscribed","serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37"}

write

Write a particular service's characteristic. Note, this hasn't been well tested

bluetoothle.write(writeSuccessCallback, writeErrorCallback, params);
Params

Value is a base64 encoded string of bytes to write. Use bluetoothle.bytesToEncodedString(bytes) to convert to base64 encoded string from a unit8Array.

//Note, this example doesn't actually work since it's read only characteristic
{"value":"","serviceUuid":"180F","characteristicUuid":"2A19"}
Success Return

Value is a base64 encoded string of written bytes. Use bluetoothle.encodedStringToBytes(obj.value) to convert to a unit8Array. See characteristic's specification and example below on how to correctly parse this.

//Write
{"status":"written","serviceUuid":"180F","characteristicUuid":"2A19","value":""}

readDescriptor

Read a particular characterist's descriptor

bluetoothle.read(readDescriptorSuccessCallback, readDescriptorErrorCallback, params);
Params
{"serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37","descriptorUuid":"2902"}
Success Return

Value is a base64 encoded string of read bytes. Use bluetoothle.encodedStringToBytes(obj.value) to convert to a unit8Array.

{"status":"readDescriptor","serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37", "descriptorUuid":"2902","value":""}

writeDescriptor

Write a particular characteristic's descriptor. Unable to write characteristic configuration directly to keep in line with iOS implementation. Instead use subscribe/unsubscribe, which will automatically enable/disable notification. Note, limited testing and likely needs to be made more generic

bluetoothle.write(writeDescriptorSuccessCallback, writeDescriptorErrorCallback, params);
Params

Value is a base64 encoded string of bytes to write. Use bluetoothle.bytesToEncodedString(bytes) to convert to base64 encoded string from a unit8Array.

Value is a base64 encoded string of written bytes. Use bluetoothle.encodedStringToBytes(obj.value) to convert to a unit8Array.

{"status":"writeDescriptor","serviceUuid":"180D","characteristicUuid":"2A37", "descriptorUuid":"2902","value":"EnableNotification"}

rssi

Read RSSI of a connected device. RSSI is also returned with scanning.

bluetoothle.rssi(rssiSuccessCallback, rssiErrorCallback);
Success Return
{"status":"rssi","rssi":-5};

isInitialized

Determine whether the adapter is initialized. No error callback. Returns true or false

bluetoothle.isInitialized(isInitializedCallback);
Success Return
{"isInitialized" : true }

isScanning

Determine whether the adapter is initialized. No error callback. Returns true or false

Example

The following example demonstrates how to connect to a heart rate monitor, read the battery level and subscribe to the heart rate. The first execution will automatically scan and connect to the first device. The second execution will use the saved device address rather than scanning for devices.

Dependencies: Example depends on the device plugin to detect whether Phonegap is running on Android or iOS. Run "cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device" from the CLI to install the device plugin.

Life Cycle: Initialize -> Scan -> Connect -> Disconnect -> Reconnect -> Discover -> Read Battery -> Subscribe Heart Rate -> Wait -> Unsubscribe -> Disconnect -> Close

Timeouts: scan, connect and reconnect.
