Implements comprehensive Bluetooth GATT operation tracing with telemetry capture and voice event monitoring for the printing sample application.

Architecture

Core Components

  • GattNodeTracer - Thread-safe GATT interceptor with ReentrantReadWriteLock
  • GattTraceConfig - Builder-based configuration with UUID/MAC filtering
  • TelemetryLogger - Connection state, RSSI, MTU, and PHY tracking
  • VoiceTracer - Voice utterance, command, recognition, and stream logging

Integration

  • Initialized in PrintServiceFragment.onAttach()
  • Hooks Bluetooth discovery callbacks
  • Traces print job lifecycle events

Filtering & Output

Filters (command-line style flags)

  • -f: Service/characteristic UUID filter
  • -s: Device MAC address scope
  • -p: Profile selection (VERBOSE, COMPACT, JSON)

Output Formats

// VERBOSE: Multi-line detailed
[2026-02-01 03:52:59.123] GATT READ
  Device: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
  Service: 0000180f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
  Characteristic: 00002a19-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
  Status: 0
  Value: [64]

// COMPACT: Single-line concise
[2026-02-01 03:52:59.123] READ 0000180f/00002a19: [64] (status=0) (AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF)

// JSON: Structured machine-readable
{"event_type":"gatt_read","timestamp":"2026-02-01 03:52:59.123","device_address":"AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF",...}

Usage

GattTraceConfig config = new GattTraceConfig.Builder()
    .addServiceFilter("0000180f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb")
    .addDeviceFilter("AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF")
    .setProfile(GattTraceConfig.TraceProfile.VERBOSE)
    .build();

GattNodeTracer tracer = new GattNodeTracer(config);
tracer.logGattRead(deviceAddress, serviceUuid, charUuid, value, status);
tracer.getTelemetryLogger().logRssi(deviceAddress, -60);
tracer.getVoiceTracer().logVoiceCommand(deviceAddress, "PRINT", audioData);

Implementation Notes

  • Data payloads >32 bytes auto-truncated with size indication
  • All logging operations thread-safe
  • LogCat output with appropriate log levels (Info, Debug, Error)
  • Zero impact when disabled via configuration

Problem Statement

Add a comprehensive GATT Node Tracer module to intercept and log all Bluetooth GATT operations, telemetry data, and voice utterances in the printing sample application.

Requirements

The GATT tracer should:

  1. Intercept GATT Operations: Hook all Bluetooth GATT read, write, and notify operations
  2. Log Telemetry: Capture and log device telemetry data (RSSI, MTU, connection state, etc.)
  3. Trace Voice Utterances: Monitor and log all voice-related operations and events
  4. Filtering Support: Implement command-line style flags:
    • -f (filter): Filter by service/characteristic UUID
    • -s (scope): Scope to specific device by MAC address
    • -p (profile): Select trace profile (verbose, compact, json)

Implementation Details

Create a new GattNodeTracer class that:

  • Implements a GATT callback interceptor pattern
  • Provides thread-safe logging of all GATT events
  • Supports real-time telemetry capture
  • Includes structured logging with timestamps
  • Integrates with the existing PrintServiceFragment for printing workflows

Files to Create/Modify

  1. New File: printingSample/src/main/java/com/dynamixsoftware/printingsample/gatt/GattNodeTracer.java

    • Main tracer class with interception logic
  2. New File: printingSample/src/main/java/com/dynamixsoftware/printingsample/gatt/GattTraceConfig.java

    • Configuration class for tracer filters and options
  3. New File: printingSample/src/main/java/com/dynamixsoftware/printingsample/gatt/TelemetryLogger.java

    • Telemetry data capture and logging
  4. New File: printingSample/src/main/java/com/dynamixsoftware/printingsample/gatt/VoiceTracer.java

    • Voice operation interception
  5. Modify: printingSample/src/main/java/com/dynamixsoftware/printingsample/PrintServiceFragment.java

    • Integrate GATT tracer initialization

Expected Output

  • Structured logs with timestamps
  • GATT operation details (UUID, operation type, data)
  • Device telemetry (connection state, signal strength, MTU)
  • Voice utterance events
  • Support for filtering and scoping via configuration flags
