discoverServices method

Future<List<BluetoothService>> discoverServices({ bool subscribeToServicesChanged = true, int timeout = 15, })

Discover services, characteristics, and descriptors of the remote device

• subscribeToServicesChanged Android Only: If true, after discovering services we will subscribe to the Services Changed Characteristic (0x2A05) used for the device.onServicesReset stream. Note: this behavior happens automatically on iOS and cannot be disabled

Implementation

  }

  await mtx.take();

        .map((args) => BmDiscoverServicesResult.fromMap(args))
        .where((p) => p.remoteId == remoteId);

    // Start listening now, before invokeMethod, to ensure we don't miss the response
    Future<BmDiscoverServicesResult> futureResponse = responseStream.first;
    // invoke
    await FlutterBluePlus._invokeMethod('discoverServices', remoteId.str);

        response.services.map((p) => BluetoothService.fromProto(p)).toList();
  } finally {

  // in order to match iOS behavior on all platforms,
  // we always listen to the Services Changed characteristic if it exists.
