ibeacon

I am using Android Beacon Library for BLE scanning with example . It works fine in foreground for both monitoring and ranging. However, for background, it only works for the cases of pressing "Home" in app and screen off. It is not work when I kill the app from task switcher. In the example, I cannot find anything like Service to make things working in background. Questions: Does Android Beacon Library support background scanning if the app is killed in task switcher? If so, how to do this? Any example? I worked with android iBeaon library in that for background scanning I created a service

i am new to Ibeacon and i want to know can we detect Ibeacon in android without using any SDKLibrary or library can any one give sample example. i know some library like Radius Networks. but i don't want to use any library The Android OS does not have any code that detects iBeacons, but it does have code that allows you to scan for Bluetooth LE devices, which are a lower-level device than an iBeacon. You can roll-your own code that detects iBeacons using this Bluetooth LE scanning. That's exactly what the Android iBeacon Library from Radius Networks does. It is open source, so if you don't

I am having difficulties getting this to work for when the app is not running. I have locationManager:didRangeBeacons:inRegion: implemented and it is called when the app is running in the foreground or background, however it doesn't seem to do anything when I quit the app and lock the screen. The location services icon goes away and I never know that I entered a beacon range. Should the LocalNotification still work? I have Location updates and Uses Bluetooth LE accessories selected in Background Modes (XCode 5) I didn't think I needed them. Any help greatly appreciated. -(void)watchForEvents {

We are working with a Retail client who would like to know if using multiple iBeacons throughout the store would help track a customer's exact location when they are inside the store (of course when they have the client's App installed). I would like to know what software tools are already available for this purpose? What is clear is that at the basic level the location of a device can be determined based on it's relative distance from multiple (at least 2) iBeacons. If so, aren't there tools that help with this? Thanks Obviously this is unlikely to work well due to the inconsistency of the

I'm looking for a way to detect iBeacon (iOS 7.0 feature) from an Android device. I read the Android documentation, where it seem that the iBeacon is some kind of GATT server which sends its position. While the Android documentation says that I should not poll that data, but for the detection this would be nessesary. I google a lot but this topic is quite new (I even created a new tag ibeacon ) so I would be happy if I get some links to ressources from the iOS world which descripes the implementation. Also if there are some Android libs which I did not find yet would be nice. EDIT: The library

In my app I get the information of the beacons with CoreLocation and and the LocationManager. I've set the advertising interval of the beacons to 200ms. Is it possible to call the didRangeBeacons delegate method faster, so that i get the values of the advertising package according to the advertising interval of the beacon? No, you cannot alter the frequency of the didRangeBeacons:inRegion callback, which is 1 Hz regardless of the beacon advertising frequency. You can get callbacks for each beacon advertisement (every 200 ms in your case) using CoreBluetooth APIs , but there are a couple of

I am trying to is iBeacon, I learned something from Youtube. This is find the closest Beacon by proximity, but it's not very accurate. So I want to find the closest one by rssi. How should I modify the code? The value of rssi always negative, does it mean the the greater the rssi is, the closest? func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didRangeBeacons beacons: [CLBeacon], inRegion region: CLBeaconRegion) { //print(beacons) let knownBeacons = beacons.filter{ $0.proximity != CLProximity.Unknown } //print(knownBeacons) if(knownBeacons.count>0){ let closestBeacon = knownBeacons[0] as
