how to unobserve a characteristic?

[schultzjim]

I need to be able to unobserve a characteristic, specifically I need to be able to tell the bluetooth peripheral I'm connected to that I no longer want to be notified of changes.

This is how this is done on our iOS app in Swift (not using kable)
peripheral.setNotifyValue(false, for: someCharacteristic)

I don't see a way to do this using kable on Android.

Any suggestions?

Kable will automatically disable notifications for a characteristic when there are no more flow subscribers for a specific characteristic.

For example:

val observation = peripheral.observe(..)

val job1 = launch {
    observation.collect { .. } // Kable will `setNotifyValue` w/ `true` since there is now at least 1 subscriber to the flow
}
val job2 = launch {
    observation.collect { .. }
}

// some time later..

job1.cancelAndJoin()
job2.cancelAndJoin() // since there are no more subscribers, Kable will (under-the-hood) `setNotifyValue` of `false` for that characteristic here
