BluetoothGattDescriptor

public class BluetoothGattDescriptor
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.bluetooth.BluetoothGattDescriptor


Represents a Bluetooth GATT Descriptor

GATT Descriptors contain additional information and attributes of a GATT characteristic, BluetoothGattCharacteristic. They can be used to describe the characteristic's features or to control certain behaviours of the characteristic.

Public constructors

BluetoothGattDescriptor

Added in API level 18
public BluetoothGattDescriptor (UUID uuid, 
                int permissions)

Create a new BluetoothGattDescriptor.

Parameters
uuid UUID: The UUID for this descriptor

permissions int: Permissions for this descriptor

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 24
public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

getCharacteristic

Added in API level 18
public BluetoothGattCharacteristic getCharacteristic ()

Returns the characteristic this descriptor belongs to.

Returns
BluetoothGattCharacteristic The characteristic.

getPermissions

Added in API level 18
public int getPermissions ()

Returns the permissions for this descriptor.

Returns
int Permissions of this descriptor

getUuid

Added in API level 18
public UUID getUuid ()

Returns the UUID of this descriptor.

Returns
UUID UUID of this descriptor

getValue

Added in API level 18
Deprecated in API level 33
public byte[] getValue ()

This method was deprecated in API level 33.
Use BluetoothGatt#readDescriptor(BluetoothGattDescriptor) instead

Returns the stored value for this descriptor

This function returns the stored value for this descriptor as retrieved by calling BluetoothGatt.readDescriptor(BluetoothGattDescriptor). The cached value of the descriptor is updated as a result of a descriptor read operation.

Returns
byte[] Cached value of the descriptor

setValue

Added in API level 18
Deprecated in API level 33
public boolean setValue (byte[] value)

This method was deprecated in API level 33.
Pass the descriptor value directly into BluetoothGatt.writeDescriptor(android.bluetooth.BluetoothGattDescriptor, byte[])

Updates the locally stored value of this descriptor.

This function modifies the locally stored cached value of this descriptor. To send the value to the remote device, call BluetoothGatt#writeDescriptor to send the value to the remote device.

Parameters
value byte: New value for this descriptor

Returns
boolean true if the locally stored value has been set, false if the requested value could not be stored locally.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 24
public void writeToParcel (Parcel out, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
out Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be null.

flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
