7 Introduction
8 ------------
9
10 This sample shows a list of available Bluetooth LE devices and provides
11 an interface to connect, display data and display GATT services and
12 characteristics supported by the devices.
13
14 It creates a [Service][1] for managing connection and data communication with a GATT server
15 hosted on a given Bluetooth LE device.
16
17 The Activities communicate with the Service, which in turn interacts with the [Bluetooth LE API][2].
