Task:

I am developing an Android application that will need to simultaneously connect to multiple (identical, that can be differentiated via their ID) BLE chip devices in order to send and receive updates. I have used the tutorials on Google's official web page:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth-le.html

This has helped me to create a DeviceScanActivity Java class that allows me to scan for and list all of the available BLE devices in close proximity, similarly to what most applications of this type currently do. I also found out that up to 7 external slaves can be connected to the same master device simultaneously. However, implementing this communication is still unclear for me. A useful link is:

Android 4.3: How to connect to multiple Bluetooth Low Energy devices

However, it does not provide enough detail for me to understand how such an implementation works.

I have been researching this topic for a while and was not able to find any example implementations. I am aware that this question has been asked a lot of times but there does not seem to be any working solution/ demo that is available online to make things more clear for me. I will appreciate it a lot if anyone can point me to a resource/ working solution that will explain in detail the steps that are necessary to modify my existing Java class in order to implement this functionality.

Current Information:

  • Android 4.3: How to connect to multiple Bluetooth Low Energy devices
  • https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth-le.html
  • Does Android 4.3 support multiple BLE device connections?
  • Ble multiple connection
  • https://labs.hybris.com/2014/10/06/connecting-to-multiple-ble-devices/
  • https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/f/538/t/225935

All of these pages contain some directions, but they do not provide enough detail on how multiple connections can be implemented.

UI Target Representation:

The idea is that my 5.1.1 Android Nexus 7 device will be able to connect to at most 5 BLE chip slaves and send/receive updates.

回答1:

I've done this in Android with two devices. First in my experience it is much better to split your code. In my case, I used the a service for the scanning process. With a broadcastreceiver I've sent the found device Object to ma main activity. In this Activity in genereal only the ui stuff an my Servicenavigation is done. When my main activity revceived the Bluetoothdevice Object I transmit this Object to a seperate Service where only the Bluetoothcommunication is done and with another Broadcastreceiver I sent the received Data back to my mainactivity to display values. If you want to connect multiple devices, you can use this pattern the same way as you would do with one device. In the scanner service in you LeScan Callback you check the found devices for their Macadress. I've mad a String Array with all the Mac Adresses I want to connect to. When I found one I've deleted it from the Array and when you've found all the devices you want you can stop the whole service. In Addition: I've made the experience that you should not bind you service. it is better to start and stop your service manually. When I wanted to destroy my bound service pretty often the connection stayed alive an when connecting again my Bluetooth behaves weird or I can't find my Ble server device because internally it is still bound.



回答2:

I had the same problem for my app, documentation about BLE on android is very little, but after a lot of research I created a well working bluetooth library for connection between multiple devices: https://github.com/niedev/RTranslator/tree/master/app/src/main/java/nie/translator/rtranslatordevedition/voice_translation/_conversation_mode/communication/communicator

p.s. In my tests of the library the max number of stable connected devices is 4 (even with reconnection)

Edit: The moderators continue to cancel my answer because I use a link to my code instead of insert it directly here but I can't because the code is nearly 4600 lines of code splitted in 10 classes (and the number of characters in an answer is limited)
