Setting advertisement parameter's for custom profile

[balaji]

Hi, How to set the advertisement parameter's (uuid's list) , while using both custom and SIG adopted services?

I modified the source code as below, but it is not showing the advertising data parameters and scan response data parameters while advertising.

ble_uuid_t adv_uuids[] =
    {
        {BLE_UUID_ACCEL_SERVICE ,         		m_accel.uuid_type},    
        {BLE_UUID_BATTERY_SERVICE,                      BLE_UUID_TYPE_BLE},
        {BLE_UUID_DEVICE_INFORMATION_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_BLE}
    };
	
    // Build and set advertising data
    memset(&advdata, 0, sizeof(advdata));

    advdata.name_type                        = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
    advdata.include_appearance            = true;
    advdata.flags.size                          = sizeof(flags);
    advdata.flags.p_data                       = &flags;

   memset(&scanrsp, 0, sizeof(scanrsp));
    scanrsp.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = sizeof(adv_uuids) / sizeof(adv_uuids[0]);
    scanrsp.uuids_complete.p_uuids  = adv_uuids;
    
    err_code = ble_advdata_set(&advdata, &scanrsp);

     // Initialize advertising parameters (used when starting advertising)
    memset(&m_adv_params, 0, sizeof(m_adv_params));
    
    m_adv_params.type                = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_ADV_IND;
    m_adv_params.p_peer_addr     = NULL;                           // Undirected advertisement
    m_adv_params.fp                  = BLE_GAP_ADV_FP_ANY;
    m_adv_params.interval            = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
    m_adv_params.timeout             = NULL;

There shouldn't be any particular problems with this, and it can be done for example as follows (modified from the nAN-36 code):

    ble_uuid_t adv_uuids[] = {{LBS_UUID_SERVICE, m_lbs.uuid_type},
                              {BLE_UUID_HEART_RATE_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_BLE}};

    // Build and set advertising data
    memset(&advdata, 0, sizeof(advdata));
    advdata.name_type               = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
    advdata.include_appearance      = true;
    advdata.flags.size              = sizeof(flags);
    advdata.flags.p_data            = &flags;
    
    memset(&scanrsp, 0, sizeof(scanrsp));
    scanrsp.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = sizeof(adv_uuids) / sizeof(adv_uuids[0]);
    scanrsp.uuids_complete.p_uuids  = adv_uuids;
    
    err_code = ble_advdata_set(&advdata, &scanrsp);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

Edit: Your added code snippet does not check the error code of ble_advdata_set(), and based on your screenshots, it's pretty likely that advdata_set() returned an error and didn't do anything. You should always check error codes!

Thanks a lot Morten, i got the point. Since, i was calling the services_init(); after advertising_init(); i couldn't able to get the value for m_accel.uuid_type, and the error value i got is 0x00000007. Thank you.
