I am trying to range beacons and I am doing exactly what it is written here: http://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/samples.html
didRangeBeaconsInRegion method is firing but always with empty collection.
I have installed "locate" by altbeacon and it located 3 beacons.
this is my code: am I missing something?
public class BeaconSingletone implements BeaconConsumer {
private static BeaconSingletone instance;
private final org.altbeacon.beacon.BeaconManager beaconManager2;
private ArrayList<BeaconThin> listNearBeacons = new ArrayList<>();
BeaconRegion region = new BeaconRegion("ranged region",
UUID.fromString("B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D"), null, null);
private List<EventInterface> listeners = new ArrayList<EventInterface>();
private BeaconSingletone()
{
beaconManager2 = org.altbeacon.beacon.BeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(ar_activity.get());
// To detect proprietary beacons, you must add a line like below corresponding to your beacon
// type. Do a web search for "setBeaconLayout" to get the proper expression.
beaconManager2.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser().
setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"));
beaconManager2.bind(this);
public static BeaconSingletone getInstance() {
if(instance == null) {
instance = new BeaconSingletone();
}
return instance;
}
private void showNotification(Region region, final List<Beacon> list) {
listNearBeacons.clear();
listNearBeacons.add(new BeaconThin(3514,7580,-1));
for (Iterator<EventInterface> i = listeners.iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
EventInterface item = i.next();
//item.NewBeaconFound(list.get(0).getMajor(),list.get(0).getMinor(),Utils.computeAccuracy(list.get(0)));
item.NewBeaconsFound(listNearBeacons);
}
return;
}
@Override
public void onBeaconServiceConnect() {
beaconManager2.addRangeNotifier(new RangeNotifier() {
@Override
public void didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection<org.altbeacon.beacon.Beacon> beacons, org.altbeacon.beacon.Region region) {
if (beacons.size() > 0) {
Log.i("BeaconManager", "The first beacon I see is about "+beacons.iterator().next().getDistance()+" meters away.");
}
}
});
try {
beaconManager2.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(new org.altbeacon.beacon.Region("mybeacons", null, null, null));
} catch (RemoteException e) { }{
}
}
@Override
public Context getApplicationContext() {
return ar_activity.get();
}
@Override
public void unbindService(ServiceConnection serviceConnection) {
ar_activity.get().unbindService(serviceConnection);
}
@Override
public boolean bindService(Intent intent, ServiceConnection serviceConnection, int i) {
return ar_activity.get().bindService(intent, serviceConnection, i);
}
}
You need to add a beacon layout for the beacon type you are using (iBeacon?). Replace this line:
beaconManager2.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser(). setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"));
With the proper layout from here: https://beaconlayout.wordpress.com
