RE: different peer address each time

Hi,

Android devices with recent versions of Android do not use the public address when connecting. Rather, they use a random address. This is part of the BLE spec. For the purpose of privacy, in addition to the public device address there are random device addresses. New versions of Android uses a random address when connecting to peripherals.

Resolvable random addresses are handled automatically by peer manager in the SDK (version 10 and above). This also works (when using whitelist and/or directed advertising) in device manager in previous SDK versions.

For more about the various address types, see the Bluetooth core specification (Core Version 4.2), Vol 6, Part B, 1.3 Device Address.

Regards, Terje
