OK, this will require proper chown in device init.rc (as it is set to system/system in system/core/rootdir/init.rc), but that would be needed for /data/misc/bluez path anyway... > > > I'm not sure how to handle storage on Linux host so for now it is set to > > STORAGEDIR/android/ directory (if directory is missing it is not created > > by daemon). > > That is actually fine.

We convert between them anyway. We actually don't use strings in Android daemon and keep UUIDs as 16bytes arrays (same format as HAL expects). So we would first need to convert to bt_uuid_t to be able to use lib/uuid.h uuid<->string helpers. We could also just add '-' where needed while converting array to hexstring if that really improves readability. > > > [00:1F:20:17:87:D7] > > Type=0 > > Name=Bluetooth Laser Travel Mouse > > Class=9600 > > LinkKey=0x3725CC552EAB8AB82D843BFEB14D2E47 > > LinkKeyType=0 > > LinkKeyPINLength=4 > > Services=0x0000112400001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000120000001000800000805F9B34FB; > > > > [40:B0:FA:39:FF:B8] > > Type=0 > > Name=Nexus 4 > > Class=5898764 > > LinkKey=0x1E201EE8E82E1E50682622077D372F20 > > LinkKeyType=5 > > LinkKeyPINLength=0 > > Services=0x0000180100001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000180000001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000111200001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000111F00001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000110C00001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000110A00001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000110E00001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000111600001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000111500001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000113200001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000112F00001000800000805F9B34FB;0x0000110500001000800000805F9B34FB; > > > > > > Comments are welcome. > > I think the only discussion we could have is if we want to store them as 1 file per remote device or all devices in one file. I am personally fine with this approach since it is a limited scope with Android anyway. Also upgrading to a more complex storage later is easily possible. FWIW, we could also always keep g_key_file in memory and only write on update (to reduce reads). And that would be more complicated if we use multiple files. -- BR Szymon Janc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
