How to solve the BluetoothGatt : android.os.DeadObjectException error happened in Android?

Question

I following the page Bluetooth Low Energy for developing in Android 4.3 for Bluetooth Low Energy .

I already can turn on the Bluetooth , scan the device and connect to the BLE device.

But it show the BluetoothGatt : android.os.DeadObjectException after I try to connect to device(device.connectGatt) and before discover the Service (mBluetoothGatt.discoverServices) for the BLE device.

Before BluetoothGatt : android.os.DeadObjectException it show the log like the following

W/bt-smp  (10670): io_cap = 4
W/bt-smp  (10670): new io_cap = 4 p_cb->loc_enc_size = 16
W/BluetoothEventManager( 7380): CachedBluetoothDevice for device 20:73:20:00:6C:B4 not found, calling readPairedDevices().

E/BluetoothEventManager( 7380): Got bonding state changed for 20:73:20:00:6C:B4, but we have no record of that device.

The full log when I connect to BLE device before discover Service is like the following

I/BluetoothLeService(10888): BluetoothGattCallback-----newState = 2

I am not sure why the E/BluetoothGatt( 8804): android.os.DeadObjectException happened. After this error happened , I can not discover the service for BLE device when I run mBluetoothGatt.discoverServices.

I have to disconnect and re-connect to BLE device again. And it work fine.

If I clean the data for Bluetooth in Android setting and connect to the BLE device again. The error happened again...

And Sometime it will disconnect immediately after connect , so I have to connect again.

Does somebody has same error or condition ? Please help me or teach me how to solve this problem , it confused a few day...

Thanks in advance! --------------------------------------------------EDIT-----------------------------------------------

You said you've try to connect but did you wait until it's really connected before discover services? — Ken Cheung, May 30 '14 at 05:50
Excuse me , what you mean for really connected ? I use two button , one is `connect` and the other one is `discover Service`. The log is for push the button. And I didn't push the discover Service button. — Wun, May 30 '14 at 05:53
Its hard to derive from the log. So maybe you try to check the flow. From context getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE) (this is the bluetooth manager); mAdapter = mBluetoothManager.getAdapter(); mDevice = mAdapter.getRemoteDevice(deviceAddress); bleGatt = mDevice.connectGatt(context, false, mBleCallback); and the callback is a BluetoothGattCallback() object implemented onConnectionStateChange() and you check the newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED. — Ken Cheung, May 30 '14 at 07:34
How to check the content what you post ? Using `try catch` ? — Wun, May 30 '14 at 07:45
I have add the code of service. Due to length limited so I omitted some code. — Wun, May 30 '14 at 09:33
From the code its pretty clean. In the callback, I have some doubt what happens if status != GATT_SUCCESS and calling gatt.getDevice(). — Ken Cheung, May 31 '14 at 15:01
You mean the GATT_SUCCESS in the `onServicesDiscovered` ? I didn't call `gatt.discoverServices()` , so the `gatt.discoverServices()` will not be call. — Wun, May 31 '14 at 15:49
Another anecdote: I can reliably produce `DeadObjectException`s when sending more than than 610 bytes on an `onCharacteristicReadRequest` response. Clearly there is some buffer that can be filled up without giving a meaningful error message. — Karalga, Sep 05 '16 at 16:23

I solved this by disconnecting, closing the Gatt and stopping the service and then restart it again:

            mBluetoothLeService.disconnect();
            mBluetoothLeService.close();
            mBluetoothLeService.stopSelf();
            connectBleservice();

The dreaded DeadObjectException is an unfortunate reality of Android BLE and after 6 months working with the API I never figured out what it is or how to prevent it. It can happen in other circumstances than what you're describing. For example for me it usually happens when calling BluetoothDevice#getName() after discovery.

Anyway, the best thing you can do is wrap the problem call with:

try
{
    // your DeadObjectException inducing code.
}
catch(Exception e)
{
    // Can't actually catch the DeadObjectException itself for some reason...*shrug*.
    if( e instanceof DeadObjectException )
    {
        // notify user through a dialog or something that they should either restart bluetooth or their phone.
        // another option is to reset the stack programmatically.
    }
    else
    {
        // your choice of whether to rethrow it or treat it the same as DeadObjectException.
    }
}

Note that the Bluetooth stack can also throw random NullPointerExceptions that can really only be dealt with the same way - either telling your user how to reset phone or bluetooth, or trying to programmatically restart bluetooth.

You can't catch that exception, because it is allready catched by the the connect() function. It will return false and log that exception. So when result of connect is false you can execute your fallback code. — Roel, Jun 29 '16 at 07:57

My workaround to the problem was to delay the reconnection:

private void connectGatt(final String address) {
    new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            bluetoothGatt = bluetoothManager.getAdapter().getRemoteDevice(address).connectGatt(context, true, bluetoothGattCallback);
        }
    }, 500);
}

This problem is very tricky to solve but seems to have to do with some sort of race condition in the android bluetooth stack. Doug's answer of catching Exception e and then checking if its a dead object did not work when I tried. I did notice that when I call

bluetoothGatt.connect()

a return value of false can indicate a dead object exception.

How to solve the BluetoothGatt : android.os.DeadObjectException error happened in Android?
