How to stop advertising ?

Question

Hi, 
 I am testing **ble_app_uart example in the path of
nRF51-SDK
RF51_SDK_9.0.0_2e23562\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\pca10028\s110
\arm5_no_packs\ble_app_uart_s100_pca10028. 
 I want to start and stop advertising manually on a certain condition. 
 ble_advertising_start(BLE_ADV_MODE_FAST) works for advertising .
But I can't stop it. 
 I tried several ways, still in trouble. 
 I need help. 
 Thanks.

 As atune answers, sd_ble_gap_adv_stop() works for stopping it.
However sometimes sd_ble_gap_adv_stop() does not works as I intended by other events. 
 When put the function in the nus_data_handler(ble_nus_t * p_nus, uint8_t * mbda_data, uint16_t length), it does not work. So I make a flag in the hadler for an condition, and then check the flag in main(){ } and applied sd_ble_gap_adv_stop() as following. 
 main {
~~~
 for (;;)
 {
	power_manage();
	
 if (CONN_FLAG == true)
 { 
 sd_ble_gap_adv_stop();
	} 
 }
}
 
 I am not sure whether I am doing right. 
 APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS is not applicable to my case because stopping period of advertising is not constant. When a correct value is received by NUS Event, advertising should stop. If I can make APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS a static variable, it may work. I think. 
 If is there better way, please let me know. Thanks.

In SDK 15, if you are using a template derived project, you should use the following statement with the parameter to stop advertising: 
 sd_ble_gap_adv_stop(m_advertising.adv_handle);

Hi guys, 
 just wanted to say that our team has found a way to stop the advertising and terminate an active connection by adding: 
 init.config.ble_adv_on_disconnect_disabled = true; 
 
 in the "static void advertising_init(void)" function (in the ble_app_uart example) and then this 
 sd_ble_gap_disconnect(m_conn_handle, BLE_HCI_REMOTE_USER_TERMINATED_CONNECTION); 
 
 in the place where the stopping has to occur. 
 
 I'm using nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde, and s132, and nrf52832. 
 
 I hope this helps!
