Hi all, Thank you Luiz and Andrei for your responses. @Andrei : I am aware that the latest android version supports "as best as it can" BLE. But I have a constaint to use 4.1 Android only. That lead us to my second question : what should I do to add such support ? If I have understood correctly the HAL Bluetooth (in Bluez package) is different from Android HAL. so to have BLE support in Android 4.1 I have to: 1- Adding the last Bluez package and compile it. 2- make changes to Android Bluetooth HAL or just add a JNI interface wrapping the Bluetooth HAL one ? 3- make changes to system service to support BLE. 4- make changes to Android SDK to export these changes to developpers. Is it correct ? is there more straightforward way ? especially about the second point and the confusion between Bluetooth HAL and Android HAL. Thank you for your help.
