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

1.java

  ScanFilter.Builder mBuilder = new ScanFilter.Builder();
  ByteBuffer mManufacturerData = ByteBuffer.allocate(23);
  ByteBuffer mManufacturerDataMask = ByteBuffer.allocate(24);
  byte[] uuid = getIdAsByte(UUID.fromString("0CF052C297CA407C84F8B62AAC4E9020");

  mBuilder.setManufacturerData(224, mManufacturerData.array(), mManufacturerDataMask.array());
  mScanFilter = mBuilder.build();

    pubnub.subscribe(channel, mPubNubCallback);

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);

}

3.java

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

4.java

        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";
  }
}

8.java

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

9.java

@Override

}

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?
