Google Glass and BLE (Bluetooth 4.0, BluetoothSmart)

Question

Does Google Glass SDK (GDK) support BLE yet? I would like to connect and communicate with a Bluegiga BLE113 module.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yup! It was added with the upgrade to Kit Kat in XE16.

The feature request was closed as fixed when that release was pushed out.

Answer 2

According to this article with the FCC filing, yes, it does. However, Android 4.0.4 does not natively support BLE, so unless the Glass Team built a BLE library for Glass, no, it doesn't. I'd suggest testing (if you have Glass). If not, I can test for you to check, if you have a way.
