onServicesDiscovered(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status) is never called

Question

I have a BluetoothLeService which is called from IntentService. BLEService works fine until it connects. After it establishes the connection with iBeacon, it calls ;

public void onConnectionStateChange(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status, int newState) {
            String intentAction;
            if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED) {
                intentAction = ACTION_GATT_CONNECTED;
                mConnectionState = STATE_CONNECTED;
                broadcastUpdate(intentAction);
                Log.i(TAG, "Connected to GATT server.");
                // Attempts to discover services after successful connection.
                Log.i(TAG, "Attempting to start service discovery:" +
                        mBluetoothGatt.discoverServices());
            } else if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED) {
                intentAction = ACTION_GATT_DISCONNECTED;
                mConnectionState = STATE_DISCONNECTED;
                Log.i(TAG, "Disconnected from GATT server.");
                broadcastUpdate(intentAction);
            }
        }

Everything is okay so far but after that point in spite of mBluetoothGatt.discoverServices() returns true, onServicesDiscovered(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status) is never called.

---------------------UPDATE----------------------------------

On debug it shows newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED but it does not really connect. It shows same result for fake ids which are belong to unexist devices.

Here is my callback

                broadcastUpdate(intentAction);

Solution

I figured it out. The real problem is connection. It shows like it is connected but it is not, I tried to connect with false address and it still connected.

After I added

mBluetoothGatt.connect();

at the end of connect method of BluetoothLeService.java it started to work.

Thanks for helps Vikram Ezhil
