Thank you very much, I shall look into it and let you know if I am faced with further problems.

I would recommend either looking at the Blinky examples in the SDK found under /examples/peripheral/blinky and /examples/ble_peripheral/blinky, as well as the Nordic Thingy:52 source code found on Github. The Nordic Thingy source code is the source code used to write the Android application. As the Thingy has an LED, it should be quite easy for you to locate how they turn the LED on/off & just slightly modify that functionality to your needs.

This was helpful in understanding what I need to do but a bit too simplified as the library they used had functions that turned on the LED but I'd like to know what the function actually contains. If I knew this, I do believe I'd be able to translate the code to Java using Android Studio. On another note, I would like to know if the Google example for the GATT client (github.com/.../README.md) can be modified to do what I need to do, if so, are there simplified libraries available like the one in the link you sent for Java (Android Studio)?

There is no data being read by the client because it is just sending a message to the server to invoke a response right?

Normally, the server is the device that contains data which the client can then read. In your case, there is no data to read, but it is correct that the arduino 101 would be the server and the app is the client.

I think this link gives a great example of how to toggle the LED on/off using an Android app. I would start off with that first. Seems like they use html to code, so it shouldn't be all too difficult. Good luck!
