Android Java Find and Show a List of BLE Devices
Check out Blessed: https://github.com/weliem/blessed-android It's a library for Bluetooth Low Energy devices. I use this library for almost a year within a production app that connects with ble devices and controls them.

At a BLE / Android "learning" crossroads.
To write the Android app to do all the BLE stuff, suggest using a third-party library that hides a lot of the gory details. If doing Kotlin, something like https://github.com/JuulLabs/kable or in Java https://github.com/weliem/blessed-android.

Bluetooth LE for modern Android Development - part 1
If you want a tipicall callback communication, use Blessed: https://github.com/weliem/blessed-android an awesome and totally underappreciated Ble Android library. This thing is like the "Glide" or "Retrofit" for Bluetooth. It tries to mimic the iOS dumbified BLE approach, and embeds all the quirks and workarounds for different Android versions and hardware implementations.

Android BLE
https://github.com/JuulLabs/kable this repo has been active but is notably pre 1.0

Why is Android Bluetooth API so hard to use? or did I just use the wrong API?
if you are using BLE & kotlin, I enjoyed using https://github.com/JuulLabs/kable

BLE: Bluetoothgatt onServiceDiscovered sometimes contains no services on status 0
The BLE is trash on Android. Try using this for both android and iOS: https://github.com/JuulLabs/kable

Recommendations for beginner BLE development.
https://github.com/JuulLabs/kable I have never used this but the readme has a nice overview of the primary areas of how a client interacts with a bluetooth device

BLE Communication when app not in focus
unrelated but if you are familiar with coroutines / flow this library is loads better than the archaic android ble sdk https://github.com/JuulLabs/kable

I'm working on a demo app for using BLE + MVVM, with a novel approach for using bound services from view models. Would appreciate feedback and review!
As a beginner Android developer trying to develop a BLE app, I found the existing resources out there mostly unhelpful. With this repo I am hoping to build an app that will be helpful for others. I'm using Kable. There are some issues with this app so I'd appreciate feedback and review, even if it is just about the general structure.

Bluetooth LE for modern Android Development - part 1
If you are on Kotlin and are proficient on coroutines you can try Kable: https://github.com/JuulLabs/kable wich is very cool to use as long as you have some experience with coroutine jobs and scopes. I think it haves potential to be the best Android BLE library but still is in Beta and there are some weird things still happening (like missing packets when you subscribe on notify) but haves a lot of potential.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing blessed-android and kable you can also consider the following projects:
android-bluetooth-serial - A library for Android to simplify basic serial communication over Bluetooth, for example when communicating with Arduinos.
Splitties - A collection of hand-crafted extensions for your Kotlin projects.
RxAndroidBle - An Android Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Library with RxJava3 interface
Android-BLE-Library - A library that makes working with Bluetooth LE on Android a pleasure. Seriously.
PeopleInSpace - Kotlin Multiplatform project with SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, Compose for Wear, Compose for Desktop, Compose for Web and Kotlin/JS + React clients along with Ktor backend.
