Automatic reconnect with smartphone.

Hi,

I am struggling with recconecting to Android device. I want the project to work with iOS also.

My nRF de52832 device has got peripheral role in this project. I am able to connect with android device without any special application, just using bluetooth settings.

The devices are bonded as I can say, but after restarting bluetooth in Android there is no reconnection.

Do I have to make special android app just for automatic reconnection with peripheral? 

Regards,

  • i think the default bluetooth settings area / service is looking for A2DP type devices or similar. If you are not one of those types then you probably have to make a special android application which scanning for your uuid and then makes the reconnection. Bonding only means that the keys have been exchanged and saved between the devices. I might be wrong but I think the types of devices the native android settings connects to is different than the type of device you are presenting. most ble devices operate from an app which scans and filters the uuids for your device then issues the scan request.
