Bluetooth LE - L2CAP CO Channel on android

6
votes

I'm trying to connect an android device to an embedded control unit via L2CAP CO (Connection Oriented) with Bluetooth LE. Apple created in iOS a new function to create a custom L2CAP Channel https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corebluetooth/cbl2capchannel to a peripheral and avoid the usage of a GATT Server communication.

My question is: Is there any future or currently implementation in android to have the same functionality as iOS?

Yes, Android Q will provide official support:

Bluetooth LE Connection Oriented Channels (CoC)

Android Q enables your app to use BLE CoC connections to transfer larger data streams between two BLE devices. This interface abstracts Bluetooth and connectivity mechanics to simplify implementation.
