ibeacon-android

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

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 developed Android app to detect the beacon if the customer is near to 1 mt distance . I am using Android Beacon Library to develop the application.When we are in foreground the I get the notification but as soon as the application goes into background .. notification stooped working . Could you help me where am I wrong ? Below is the code for BeaconApp and MainActivity. BeaconApp.java public class BeaconApp extends Application implements BootstrapNotifier { private static final String TAG = "BeaconApp"; private RegionBootstrap regionBootstrap; private Region allbeaconsregions; private

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

The ibeacon beaconlayout for kontakt is m:2-3=0215,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25 I am using altbeacon library for android for detecting it but i am unable get the battery level of the beacon an answer here says that they are transmitting the power level but i am unable to fetch it. Further the comment on this page (from line no 100 to 103) describes the byte structure hope this helps. How can i get the battery level from the beacon. If your beaconlayout expression is correct for that beacon, then you can read the battery value for the d25-25 data field with: long batteryLevel=beacon
