Hi guys, I implemented Gatt server on my android phone and it works fine. But there is something weird point it's Bluetooth name setting.
I created and tested my app on "Nexus 5X" and it's default BT name is "Nexus 5X" and I can find this device name at the client side easily. And I ran same application on "Galaxy S7" and it's default BT name is "Samsung Galaxy S7". In this case I can't find Gatt server name at the client. So I change the device name to "Galaxy", it worked very well. "Nexus 5x" --> fine "Galaxy S7" --> bad "Nexus" --> fine "long name device" --> bad In my test, if length of Gatt server name is over than 8 characters, then I couldn't find my Gatt server. The client also run on Android and it find lots of near bluetooth devices, and some device names are over 8 characters. According to the BluetoothAdapter <https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothAdapter.html#setName(java.lang.String)> document, limitation of the length is maximum 248 bytes. So I wander, is this a Android Gatt server bug or Galaxy S7 bug? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
