1.4.2 - Bugfix for enableNotification on Android

This version of the plugin contains an update that fixes a bug in enableNotification. The options parameter did not work as expected.

It now works to set the last options parameter as follows; setting writeConfigDescriptor: false will turn off automatic writing of the config descriptor:

evothings.ble.enableNotification(
    deviceHandle,
    characteristic.handle,
    function(data)
    {
        console.log('BLE characteristic data: ' + evothings.ble.fromUtf8(data));
    },
    function(errorCode)
    {
        console.log('BLE enableNotification error: ' + errorCode);
    },
    { writeConfigDescriptor: false });

This also works for disableNotification:

evothings.ble.disableNotification(
    deviceHandle,
    characteristic.handle,
    function()
    {
        console.log('BLE characteristic notification disabled');
    },
    function(errorCode)
    {
        console.log('BLE disableNotification error: ' + errorCode);
    },
    { writeConfigDescriptor: false });

Disabling automatic writing of the notification/indication config descriptor can be useful if the application has special requirements.

Setting writeConfigDescriptor: true turns on automatic writing of the config descriptor. This is the default if you leave out the options parameter, like this:

evothings.ble.enableNotification(
    deviceHandle,
    characteristic.handle,
    function(data)
    {
        console.log('BLE characteristic data: ' + evothings.ble.fromUtf8(data));
    },
    function(errorCode)
    {
        console.log('BLE enableNotification error: ' + errorCode);
    });

This should work for most applications.

The high-level EasyBLE library also has support for specifying the options parameter in function enableServiceNotification(). This library is available here:
