Question 1

How to handle BLE reconnection automatically with FastBle?

Accepted Answer

FastBle includes built-in reconnection logic; configure it using setReConnectCount() during initialization, and the framework will automatically retry connections on failure with specified intervals, as shown in the connect method callbacks.

Question 2

FastBle vs RxAndroidBle: which is better for Android BLE?

Accepted Answer

FastBle is simpler and more straightforward for basic to intermediate BLE tasks with a callback-based API, while RxAndroidBle offers reactive programming patterns and might be better for complex data streams. FastBle's strength lies in its ease of use and built-in features like reconnection.

Question 3

How to scan for specific BLE devices by UUID or name using FastBle?

Accepted Answer

Use BleScanRuleConfig to set custom scan rules with service UUIDs, device names, or MAC addresses before scanning, as demonstrated in the initialization configuration example with setServiceUuids() and setDeviceName().

Question 4

Does FastBle support BLE 5.0 features like longer range or higher speed?

Accepted Answer

FastBle builds on native Android BLE APIs, so it depends on the underlying OS support; the library doesn't explicitly add BLE 5.0 features, meaning you're limited to what Android provides for your device's hardware and version.

Question 5

How to manage multiple BLE connections and avoid conflicts with FastBle?

Accepted Answer

FastBle supports multi-device connections out of the box; use methods like getAllConnectedDevice() to track devices and disconnect() to manage individual connections, but ensure proper callback handling to avoid state issues in complex scenarios.

Question 6

What are common errors in FastBle and how to fix timeout issues?

Accepted Answer

Common errors include connection timeouts or operation failures; configure timeouts using setConnectOverTime() and setOperateTimeout() during initialization, and check the BleException callbacks for specific failure reasons in the README examples.
