Neither the blinky nor the UART examples use bonding unfortunately, so this will have to be added on top.

Basically you have to add the peer_manager to your example, and set up your characteristics to require security to ensure that pairing and bonding will be performed before the characteristics can be accessed.

Hi Torbjorn,

Does the Blinky application for Android support bonding? I will need to implement bonding too so that the app can auto connect to the BLE device.

You should start out with the Blinky application for Android instead.

This is a stripped down example that allows you to connect to a device and send receive data over the Blinky service.

It will require some modifications to run the UART service instead, but these changes should be trivial compared to using the Toolbox as a starting point. Essentially the only differences between the Blinky and UART services is that the later uses variable length characteristics, while the former uses 1 byte characteristics.
