onDescriptorReadRequest

Chrome 52+ 
chrome.bluetoothLowEnergy.onDescriptorReadRequest.addListener(
  callback: function,
)

Fired when a connected central device requests to read the value of a descriptor registered on the local GATT server. Not responding to this request for a long time may lead to a disconnection. This event is only available if the app has both the bluetooth:low_energy and the bluetooth:peripheral permissions set to true. The peripheral permission may not be available to all apps.

Parameters

  • callback

    function

    The callback parameter looks like: 

    (request: Request, descriptorId: string) => void

    • request

      Request

    • descriptorId

      string

onDescriptorValueChanged

chrome.bluetoothLowEnergy.onDescriptorValueChanged.addListener(
  callback: function,
)

Fired when the value of a remote GATT characteristic descriptor changes, usually as a result of a read request. This event exists mostly for convenience and will always be sent after a successful call to readDescriptorValue.

Parameters

  • callback

    function

    The callback parameter looks like: 

    (descriptor: Descriptor) => void

onDescriptorWriteRequest

Chrome 52+ 
chrome.bluetoothLowEnergy.onDescriptorWriteRequest.addListener(
  callback: function,
)

Fired when a connected central device requests to write the value of a descriptor registered on the local GATT server. Not responding to this request for a long time may lead to a disconnection. This event is only available if the app has both the bluetooth:low_energy and the bluetooth:peripheral permissions set to true. The peripheral permission may not be available to all apps.

Parameters

  • callback

    function

    The callback parameter looks like: 

    (request: Request, descriptorId: string) => void

    • request

    • descriptorId

      string

onServiceAdded

chrome.bluetoothLowEnergy.onServiceAdded.addListener(
  callback: function,
)

Fired whan a new GATT service has been discovered on a remote device.

Parameters

  • callback

    function

    The callback parameter looks like: 

    (service: Service) => void

onServiceChanged

chrome.bluetoothLowEnergy.onServiceChanged.addListener(
  callback: function,
)

Fired when the state of a remote GATT service changes. This involves any characteristics and/or descriptors that get added or removed from the service, as well as "ServiceChanged" notifications from the remote device.

Parameters

  • callback

    function

    The callback parameter looks like: 

    (service: Service) => void

onServiceRemoved

chrome.bluetoothLowEnergy.onServiceRemoved.addListener(
  callback: function,
)

Fired when a GATT service that was previously discovered on a remote device has been removed.

Parameters

  • callback

    function

    The callback parameter looks like:
