Hide Characteristics values before Bound

[code_hard]

Hello,

I am going my project with NRG51822 in SDK 11. I build a android app that can connect to my device and access vendor specific service.

My device dedicates one button for BLE connection, and it will trigger limited advertising on button pressed. Android could connect to device in 30 secs after BLE button pressed, and it will perform bond procedure after "Just Works" pairing.

I want characteristics that in vendor specific service can not be accessible before bound, what should I do? Does any example in SDK 11 has the similar procedure that I could refer to?

Regards,

Dear run_ar,

Thank you for reply, allow me to repeat your suggestion on list.

1. Android pair device with "Just Works". Android perform service discover procedure and can not discover vendor service at that time.
2. Android perform bond procedure successful, then device add vendor service and send SCCD indication to android.
3. Android perform service discover procedure again and get updated service list. Now Android could manipulate vendor service.
4. On Disconnected event occured, device reinitialize SoftDevice module and return to un-updated service and wait for next pair.

I don't want to misunderstand what you mean.

Yes, that sounds about right. But not sure about 4. I guess you might also want to be able to reconnect to the previously known device. And as Roger Clark says you won't know exactly which device is connecting to you when using just works, so you might want to consider using authentication (just works is unauthenticated).
