ibeacon-android

I'm fairly new to iBeacon but I have spent the day trying to get informations and a working Android application with iBeacon. I have stumbled upon Android iBeacon Library samples and gave it a try. I used the latest aar file (0.7.3) and basically copy/paste their examples in a new project. I have created a beacon using an iPad with AirLocate (compiled from Apple's code from the Dev Center) and launch the code. My problem is the range fluctuating all the time with no logic. For example, the phone (in this case a Nexus 5, original rom, no modification) placed half a meter away from the iPad

Short version: In my tests with Android 5.0 Lollipop I have noticed android.bluetooth.le.BluetoothLeScanner detects BLE devices less frequently than Android 4.4 KitKat. Why is this and is there an alternative? Long version: I am developing an Android application, specifically for the Nexus 7 tablet, that focuses on detecting Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. The app is mainly interested in the RSSI value of the beacons, to determine their proximity to the tablet. This means I won't need to connect to the BLE device, since the RSSI value is passed to the scan callback when the device is

I start working with ibeacon and android. But there are some problem need for your helps. On blutoothGatCallback I implement onConnectionStateChange and call discoverServices(). Althougth, discoverServices() return true but there is not any callback execute, I hope onServicesDiscovered being called, but not. @Override public void onConnectionStateChange(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status, int newState) { Log.i(TAG, "onConnectionStateChange : " + status + " newState : " + newState); if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED) { boolean isdiscover= mBluetoothGatt.discoverServices(); if

Android 5 introduces BLE MAC address rotating for increased privacy. Every time when calling BluetoothLeAdvertiser.startAdvertising(), the MAC-address is changed. Is it possible to disable address rotating, and just use the same MAC address during the entire lifetime of BluetoothLeAdvertiser? The MAC Address is a physical address and does not change. In BLE terminology, it is the Public Device Address or BD_ADDR for BR/EDR. I haven't tried it, but reading it with readAddress() should return the same value each time. What the Android's BLE framework does is NOT use that address when advertising
