altbeacon

I'm using the Android Beacon Library. Since Marshmallow, I am seeing the following error, as expected and documented. Permission denial: Need ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to get scan results I have my ranging code in a Fragment, and the RuntimeException is thrown when the Fragment is on screen, as expected as I'm not prompting for permission. If I hit the home button, Pause is called, and I'm unbinding beaconManager, and the exception is no longer thrown, again, as expected. Coming back to Activity from previous app list, the RuntimeException is thrown again each

I am learning Android app development while building an app that interacts with the physical web. I want to advertise based on AltBeacon specification and add small payload in the form of string or bytes . I came across Beacon.Builder Javadoc but it is not well written. Which function should I use from the above javadoc or is there something else available? My goal is to advertise using my app and transmit certain string. If the other device has my app then it should show notification with that string. All my code has been taken from this . Standard bluetooth beacon layouts (iBeacon, AltBeacon

Background: I am developing an Android app that monitors for specific beacons in the background, and upon entry detection, will perform custom coding. I am currently exploring this using Android Beacon Library, and is able to detect the beacon responsively most of the time when the screen is On (within seconds). However, when the screen is off, the responsiveness drops and may take minutes to half and hour to detect. I am wondering if there are ways to improve responsiveness as my usage scenario requires a responsive background detection without having to turn on the phone (looking at a

I have some questions on the use of Bluetooth Medic, based on the following observations. Because Bluetooth stops on one of my devices I have been looking at the BluetoothMedic to see whether it can help. I've looked at the debug messages and the source code. I get somewhat different results depending on whether I use enablePeriodicTests() or individually run runScanTest() and runTransmitterTest(). With enablePeriodicTests(), BluetoothTestJob.onStartJob() runs scan and transmitter tests every 15 minutes, apparently OK. If my beacon is transmitting, I get "Scan test succeeded" then "scan test
