19 // descriptor. A GATT characteristic descriptor provides further information
20 // about a characteristic's value. They can be used to describe the
21 // characteristic's features or to control certain behaviors.
22 class BluetoothGattDescriptor
{
24 // The Bluetooth Specification declares several predefined descriptors that
25 // profiles can use. The following are definitions for the list of UUIDs
26 // and descriptions of the characteristic descriptors that they represent.
27 // Possible values for and further information on each descriptor can be found
28 // in Core v4.0, Volume 3, Part G, Section 3.3.3. All of these desciptors are
29 // optional and may not be present for a given characteristic.
31 // The "Characteristic Extended Properties" descriptor. This defines
32 // additional "Characteristic Properties" which cannot fit into the allocated
33 // single octet property field of a characteristic. The value is a bit field
34 // and the two predefined bits, as per Bluetooth Core Specification v4.0, are:
36 // - Reliable Write: 0x0001
37 // - Writable Auxiliaries: 0x0002
39 static const bluetooth_utils::UUID kCharacteristicExtendedPropertiesUuid

41 // The "Characteristic User Description" descriptor defines a UTF-8 string of
42 // variable size that is a user textual description of the associated
43 // characteristic's value. There can be only one instance of this descriptor
44 // per characteristic. This descriptor can be written to if the "Writable
45 // Auxiliaries" bit of the Characteristic Properties (via the "Characteristic
46 // Extended Properties" descriptor) has been set.
47 static const bluetooth_utils::UUID kCharacteristicUserDescriptionUuid
;
49 // The "Client Characteristic Configuration" descriptor defines how the
50 // characteristic may be configured by a specific client. A server-side
51 // instance of this descriptor exists for each client that has bonded with
52 // the server and the value can be read and written by that client only. As
53 // of Core v4.0, this descriptor is used by clients to set up notifications
54 // and indications from a characteristic. The value is a bit field and the
55 // predefined bits are:
58 // - Notification: 0x0001
59 // - Indication: 0x0002
61 static const bluetooth_utils::UUID kClientCharacteristicConfigurationUuid
;
63 // The "Server Characteristic Configuration" descriptor defines how the
64 // characteristic may be configured for the server. There is one instance
65 // of this descriptor for all clients and setting the value of this descriptor
66 // affects its configuration for all clients. As of Core v4.0, this descriptor
67 // is used to set up the server to broadcast the characteristic value if
68 // advertising resources are available. The value is a bit field and the
69 // predefined bits are:
72 // - Broadcast: 0x0001
74 static const bluetooth_utils::UUID kServerCharacteristicConfigurationUuid

76 // The "Characteristic Presentation Format" declaration defines the format of
77 // the Characteristic Value. The value is composed of 7 octets which are
78 // divided into groups that represent different semantic meanings. For a
79 // detailed description of how the value of this descriptor should be
80 // interpreted, refer to Core v4.0, Volume 3, Part G, Section 3.3.3.5. If more
81 // than one declaration of this descriptor exists for a characteristic, then a
82 // "Characteristic Aggregate Format" descriptor must also exist for that
84 static const bluetooth_utils::UUID kCharacteristicPresentationFormatUuid
;
86 // The "Characteristic Aggregate Format" descriptor defines the format of an
87 // aggragated characteristic value. In GATT's underlying protocol, ATT, each
88 // attribute is identified by a handle that is unique for the hosting server.
89 // Multiple characteristics can share the same instance(s) of a
90 // "Characteristic Presentation Format" descriptor. The value of the
91 // "Characteristic Aggregate Format" descriptor contains a list of handles
92 // that each refer to a "Characteristic Presentation Format" descriptor that
93 // is used by that characteristic. Hence, exactly one instance of this
94 // descriptor must exist if more than one "Characteristic Presentation Format"
95 // descriptors exist for a characteristic.
97 // Applications that are using the device::Bluetooth API do not have access to
98 // the underlying handles and shouldn't use this descriptor to determine which
99 // "Characteristic Presentation Format" desciptors belong to a characteristic.
100 // The API will construct a BluetoothGattDescriptor object for each instance
101 // of "Characteristic Presentation Format" descriptor per instance of
102 // BluetoothGattCharacteristic that represents a remote characteristic.
103 // Similarly for local characteristics, implementations DO NOT need to create
104 // an instance of BluetoothGattDescriptor for this descriptor as this will be
105 // handled by the subsystem.
