Pairing and key exhange with ANCS

Matts

Hi.

I've started to check if I can get ANCS compatible content provider to run in Android. The nrf52 is running out-of-box version of the nordic ancs example.

I can find it, see that it solicitates the ANCS service in the advertisement and I can try to connect it. However as it's not paired, the connection fails right away. I've read the apple developer page about the ANCS and also nordic explanation about the example.

So the problem is that I guess I need to bond the devices and exchange trusted keys. I've tried the bonding, but after the mBluetoothDevice.createBond(), the BluetoothDevice.ACTION_BOND_STATE_CHANGED- callback I get has status BOND_NONE and oldstate was BOND_BONDING. How this key-exchange is supposed to be handled? Am I missing something here?

So far I've added the service for the ANCS:

UUID: "7905F431-B5CE-4E99-A40F-4B1E122D00D0" (main service)

three characteristics for it:

  • Notification source (with CCCD)
  • Notification data source (with CCCD)
  • Notification control point (with CCCD)

The service is added to gatt server in the android side, I get the callback for the service added, and the device seems to try to connect the gatt service, but it drops it right away. I'm trying the pairing before any other connection to device or the callbacks to connectionStateChange.

EDIT: Log from nRF MCP:

    Hi Hung Bui!

    I cannot use the nRF MCP as I do not have windows machine. I have however iPhone 5 for testing purposes and it connects OK with the nRF52.

    Regarding that connection dropping. I have GattServer with that new service running in the android phone. I've tried connecting with the device both via regular gatt connection and server connection. Not sure which is the correct way, but result is the same.

    In onConnected callback I'll try to do the bonding (bluetoothdevice.createBond() -call). It gives me first BluetoothDevice.ACTION_BOND_STATE_CHANGED to BluetoothDevice.BOND_BONDING. However right after that (300ms later) I get onConnectionStateChange -callback with disconnected state and callback to BluetoothDevice.ACTION_BOND_STATE_CHANGED with value BOND_NONE.

    What most bothers me, that I get error status (on connection drop) that no read rights or value 62.
