Enumerator:
UUID_TYPE_SHORT 

Short 16-bit UUID.

UUID_TYPE_LONG 

Full 128-bit UUID.

Definition at line 55 of file UUID.h.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

UUID ( const char *  stringUUID )

Creates a new 128-bit UUID.

Note:
The UUID is a unique 128-bit (16 byte) ID used to identify different service or characteristics on the BLE device.
Parameters:
stringUUIDThe 128-bit (16-byte) UUID as a human readable const-string. Format: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX Upper and lower case supported. Hyphens are optional, but only upto four of them. The UUID is stored internally as a 16 byte array, LSB (little endian), which is opposite from the string.

Definition at line 104 of file UUID.h.

UUID ( const LongUUIDBytes_t  longUUID,
ByteOrder_t  order = UUID::MSB 
)

Creates a new 128-bit UUID.

Parameters:
[in]longUUIDThe 128-bit (16-byte) UUID value.
[in]orderThe bit order of the UUID, MSB by default.
Note:
The UUID is a unique 128-bit (16 byte) ID used to identify different service or characteristics on the BLE device.

Definition at line 156 of file UUID.h.

UUID ( ShortUUIDBytes_t  _shortUUID )

Creates a new 16-bit UUID.

For efficiency, and because 16 bytes would take a large chunk of the 27-byte data payload length of the Link Layer, the BLE specification adds two additional UUID formats: 16-bit and 32-bit UUIDs. These shortened formats can be used only with UUIDs that are defined in the Bluetooth specification (listed by the Bluetooth SIG as standard Bluetooth UUIDs).

To reconstruct the full 128-bit UUID from the shortened version, insert the 16-bit short value (indicated by xxxx, including leading zeros) into the Bluetooth Base UUID:

0000xxxx-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB

Parameters:
[in]_shortUUIDThe short UUID value.
Note:
Shortening is not available for UUIDs that are not derived from the Bluetooth Base UUID. Such non-standard UUIDs are commonly called vendor-specific UUIDs. In these cases, you’ll need to use the full 128-bit UUID value at all times.
The UUID is a unique 16-bit (2 byte) ID used to identify different service or characteristics on the BLE device.
We do not yet support 32-bit shortened UUIDs.

Definition at line 189 of file UUID.h.

UUID ( const UUID source )

Copy constructor.

Parameters:
[in]sourceThe UUID to copy.

Definition at line 199 of file UUID.h.

UUID ( void   )

The empty constructor.

Note:
The type of the resulting UUID instance is UUID_TYPE_SHORT and the value BLE_UUID_UNKNOWN.

Definition at line 211 of file UUID.h.
