Hi Helen,
I assume you don't have access to Google Play ?
You can download the apk file from here: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Android-nRF-Mesh-Library/releases

Hi Helen,

In nRF5 SDK for Mesh you can find the example in \examples\sdk_coexist

In NRF Connect SDK you can find the example in \nrf\samples\bluetooth\mesh\ble_peripheral_lbs_coex

This application is keyboard which use to play PC game in the game room.This keyboard needs to control Microphone mesh node and atmosphere lamp mesh note,which can enhance the appeal of people watching games live .

Which example is the co-exist example that I can do normal BLE + BLE Mesh simultaneously?I can't find the directory of this sample in the SDK.Could you tell me which directory it is in?

Hi Helen,

Yes, it should be possible to run BLE HIDS and mesh at the same time.
In both nRF5 SDK and NCS SDK we have provided the co-exist example that you can do normal BLE + BLE Mesh simultaneously. You just need to modify the application to run HIDS service instead of the lbs or proximity service.

But may I ask what's the application is about ? Please be aware that doing mesh requires the device to be main powered and it usually not the case with HIDs device.
