Would a Bluetooth LE Jedi know any trick how to get a reliable BLE scanning mode on cheap Android 4.4 devices ? Everything works fine from Android 5 to 6, and most of the Android 4.4 phones... However, on some cheap phones with 4.4 we encounter random issues, some phones do not detect anything, or sometimes just a few beacons among others, depending on environment, daytime, weather, or whatever... It's obviously due to a poor software or hardware on this side, but is there any trick to make it more stable programmatically ? (for example enabling / disabling Bluetooth regularly) EDIT To

I am trying to play with BLE transmission on my device. Here is the code I use and the output: // check BLE support Log.i(TAG, "BLE supported: " + getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_BLUETOOTH_LE)); // true // check BLE transmission support final BluetoothManager bluetoothManager = (BluetoothManager) getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE); BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = bluetoothManager.getAdapter(); Log.i(TAG, "isMultipleAdvertisementSupported: " + mBluetoothAdapter.isMultipleAdvertisementSupported()); // false Log.i(TAG, "isOffloadedFilteringSupported: " +

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 was trying to implement beacon scanning program, and i want the android BLE services to behave similar to iOS "didRangeBeacons" method,i.e, it should get called every one second. But in android there is no such method. But in android there is "leScanCallback" method that gets called very frequently with a scan period of less than a second. So is there any way that i can implement my functionality in leScanCallback method and increase its scan period interval to 1 second, so that it behaves similar to iOS's "didRangeBeacons" method. *Also will it be the bad programming to continually scan

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
