Android Beacon Tutorial (Building the Detector - Listener - Observer)

1.java

private void setScanFilter() {
  ScanFilter.Builder mBuilder = new ScanFilter.Builder();
  ByteBuffer mManufacturerData = ByteBuffer.allocate(23);
  ByteBuffer mManufacturerDataMask = ByteBuffer.allocate(24);
  byte[] uuid = getIdAsByte(UUID.fromString("0CF052C297CA407C84F8B62AAC4E9020");
  mManufacturerData.put(0, (byte)0xBE);
  mManufacturerData.put(1, (byte)0xAC);
  for (int i=2; i<=17; i++) {
    mManufacturerData.put(i, uuid[i-2]);
  }
  for (int i=0; i<=17; i++) {
    mManufacturerDataMask.put((byte)0x01);
  }
  mBuilder.setManufacturerData(224, mManufacturerData.array(), mManufacturerDataMask.array());
  mScanFilter = mBuilder.build();
}

10.java

public void getAdOfTheDay(int major, int minor) {
  String channel = "YourCompany_"+major+"_"+minor;
  try {
    pubnub.subscribe(channel, mPubNubCallback);
  } catch (PubnubException e) {
    System.out.println(e.toString());
  }
}

11.java

protected Callback mPubNubCallback = new Callback() {
  @Override
  public void successCallback(String channel, Object message) {
    System.out.println(message.toString());
  }
};

2.java

private void setScanSettings() {
  ScanSettings.Builder mBuilder = new ScanSettings.Builder();
  mBuilder.setReportDelay(0);
  mBuilder.setScanMode(ScanSettings.SCAN_MODE_LOW_POWER);
  mScanSettings = mBuilder.build();
}

3.java

mBluetoothLeScanner.startScan(Arrays.asList(mScanFilter), mScanSettings, mScanCallback);

4.java

protected ScanCallback mScanCallback = new ScanCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onScanResult(int callbackType, ScanResult result) {
        ScanRecord mScanRecord = result.getScanRecord();
        int[] manufacturerData = mScanRecord.getManufacturerSpecificData(224);
        int mRssi = result.getRssi();
    }
}

5.java

public double calculateDistance(int txPower, double rssi) {
  if (rssi == 0) {
    return -1.0; // if we cannot determine accuracy, return -1.
  }
  double ratio = rssi*1.0/txPower;
  if (ratio < 1.0) {
    return Math.pow(ratio,10);
  }
  else {
    double accuracy =  (0.89976)*Math.pow(ratio,7.7095) + 0.111;
    return accuracy;
  }
}

6.java

private String getDistance(accuracy) {
  if (accuracy == -1.0) {
    return "Unknown";
  } else if (accuracy < 1) {
    return "Immediate";
  } else if (accuracy < 3) {
    return "Near";
  } else {
    return "Far";
  }
}

7.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

8.java

this.pubnub = new Pubnub("publish_key", "subscribe_key");

9.java

@Override
public void onScanResult(int callbackType, ScanResult result) {
  [...]
  if ((mBeaconScanRecord.getDistance() == "Immediate") && !isSubscribed()) {
    getAdOfTheDay(mIBeaconScanRecord.getMajor(), mIBeaconScanRecord.getMinor());
  }
}

Hi,
I have a number of errors with the above codes and the errors are mostly as "identifier not found".
Kindly help on what should be corrected

How to implement this? I done with pubnub sign up.. but not getting further process properly

add this

package com.my.myny.beacon;

import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.bluetooth.le.BluetoothLeScanner;
import android.bluetooth.le.ScanCallback;
import android.bluetooth.le.ScanFilter;
import android.bluetooth.le.ScanRecord;
import android.bluetooth.le.ScanResult;
import android.bluetooth.le.ScanSettings;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.UUID;

private BluetoothLeScanner mBluetoothLeScanner;
private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
private ScanFilter mScanFilter;
private ScanSettings mScanSettings;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

@OverRide
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
    mBluetoothLeScanner = mBluetoothAdapter.getBluetoothLeScanner();
    mBluetoothLeScanner.startScan(Arrays.asList(mScanFilter), mScanSettings, mScanCallback);

    mBluetoothLeScanner.startScan(Arrays.asList(mScanFilter), mScanSettings, mScanCallback);

}

private void setScanFilter() {
    ScanFilter.Builder mBuilder = new ScanFilter.Builder();
    ByteBuffer mManufacturerData = ByteBuffer.allocate(23);
    ByteBuffer mManufacturerDataMask = ByteBuffer.allocate(24);
    byte[] uuid = getIdAsByte(UUID.fromString("0CF052C297CA407C84F8B62AAC4E9020"));
    mManufacturerData.put(0, (byte) 0xBE);
    mManufacturerData.put(1, (byte) 0xAC);
    for (int i=2; i<=17; i++) {
        mManufacturerData.put(i, uuid[i-2]);
    }
    for (int i=0; i<=17; i++) {
        mManufacturerDataMask.put((byte)0x01);
    }
    mBuilder.setManufacturerData(224, mManufacturerData.array(), mManufacturerDataMask.array());
    mScanFilter = mBuilder.build();
}

public static byte[] getIdAsByte(java.util.UUID uuid)
{
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(new byte[16]);
bb.putLong(uuid.getMostSignificantBits());
bb.putLong(uuid.getLeastSignificantBits());
return bb.array();
}

вцелом спасибо, перехожу с AS3 на JAVA в Андроид Студии ускоренными темпами, вот думаю уже купить готовую библиотеку за 25$ и не ебать себе мозги

Что за библиотека?

#newbieAlert there seems to be something wrong with the onScanResult method ??? keeps saying cannot resolve method 'getDistance' , 'isSubscribed', 'getMajor' and 'getMinor' ...is there something that i left out

Yes, I had this issue:

Cannot resolve method getDistance()
didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection beacons, Region region)

// Should be
didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection<Beacon> beacons, Region region)

The example code is wrong, or the compiler they used auto-magically worked out that beacon was in a collection of Beacons.

Anybody can share the full code? the sample codes have a lot of errors and I cannot resolve method getDistance(), where did you even find this line of code didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection beacons, Region region) ?

Does anyone figured out the missing mess.

@ToeJamson
After a long time, can you share the source code for everyone to refer to?
