# Modules.BLE.Characteristic

A characteristic of a remote peripheral’s service.

Availability
1.0.0

# Overview

It represent the characteristics of a remote peripheral’s service. A characteristic contains a single value and any number of descriptors describing that value. The properties of a characteristic determine how you can use a characteristic’s value, and how you access the descriptors.

# Properties

# apiName READONLY

Availability
3.2.0
apiName :String

The name of the API that this proxy corresponds to.

The value of this property is the fully qualified name of the API. For example, Titanium.UI.Button returns Ti.UI.Button.


# bubbleParent

Availability
3.0.0
bubbleParent :Boolean

Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.

Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.

Default: true


# descriptors

Availability
1.0.0
descriptors :Array<Modules.BLE.Descriptor>

A list of the Descriptor* objects that have so far been discovered in this characteristic. It is writeable if this JavaScript object represents a mutable characteristic.


# isMutable

Availability
1.0.0
isMutable :Boolean

Indicates whether this characteristic is mutable.

For android, this property will always return false.


# isMutable

Availability
1.0.0
isMutable :Boolean

Indicates whether this characteristic is mutable.


# isNotifying

Availability
1.0.0
isNotifying :Boolean

Whether the characteristic is currently notifying or not.


# properties

Availability
1.0.0
properties :Number

The properties of the characteristic as a bitfield.

See also CHARACTERISTIC_PROPERTY_* module constants for the possible return values of this property.


# service

Availability
1.0.0

The service this characteristic belongs to.


# uuid

Availability
1.0.0
uuid :String

The Bluetooth-specific UUID of the attribute.


# value

Availability
1.0.0

The value of the characteristic.

# Methods

# addEventListener

Availability
1.0.0
addEventListener(name, callback) void

Adds the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.

Parameters

Name Type Description
name String

Name of the event.

callback Callback<Titanium.Event>

Callback function to invoke when the event is fired.

Returns

Type
void

# applyProperties

Availability
3.0.0
applyProperties(props) void

Applies the properties to the proxy.

Properties are supplied as a dictionary. Each key-value pair in the object is applied to the proxy such that myproxy[key] = value.

Parameters

Name Type Description
props Dictionary

A dictionary of properties to apply.

Returns

Type
void

# equal

Availability
1.0.0
equal(characteristic) Boolean

tests whether two characteristics are same or not.

Parameters

Name Type Description
characteristic Modules.BLE.Characteristic

the characteristic that will be compared.

Returns

Type
Boolean

# fireEvent

Availability
1.0.0
fireEvent(name[, event]) void

Fires a synthesized event to any registered listeners.

Parameters

Name Type Description
name String

Name of the event.

event Dictionary

A dictionary of keys and values to add to the Titanium.Event object sent to the listeners.

Returns

Type
void

# removeEventListener

Availability
1.0.0
removeEventListener(name, callback) void

Removes the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.

Multiple listeners can be registered for the same event, so the callback parameter is used to determine which listener to remove.

When adding a listener, you must save a reference to the callback function in order to remove the listener later:

var listener = function() { Ti.API.info("Event listener called."); }
window.addEventListener('click', listener);

To remove the listener, pass in a reference to the callback function:

window.removeEventListener('click', listener);

Parameters

Name Type Description
name String

Name of the event.

callback Callback<Titanium.Event>

Callback function to remove. Must be the same function passed to addEventListener.

Returns

Type
void
