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