Add static passkey support to ble_app_uart

[helpme]

I am running ble_app_uart sample code on nRF-dk using SoftDevice n130. It is working fine.

Currently, when nRF UART app connects to ble_app_uart, user does not need to key in pin code. I would like to modify ble_app_uart such that user needs to key in a pin code before connection is established. How can this be done? Which example should I refer to for pin code implementation? Does nRF UART app need to be modified as well to support this pin code feature?

Hi,

Answered a similar question in this thread here: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../. Yes, you need to include the Device manager module to handle security.

Thanks. Upvoted. Does the Device manager module refers to something inside the Android API? I must have missed out something. I am not able to find it there. developer.android.com/.../bluetooth-le.html

Thanks. The device manager is a module included in our SDK to handle BLE security (bonding) -> link. Android has is own bluetooth stack that handles this.

Would you know if any modification is needed at the Android nRF-UART code to handle passkey connection? Thanks. github.com/.../Android-nRF-UART

I haven't tested it in awhile, but I don't think you need to modify the nRF UART app as the bluetooth stack in android will automatically request pairing if you have set security requirements on your characteristics.
