I am new to scanning beacons using Android. I am using Library mentioned above, which is easy enough to understand. The reference application works and detects my Eddystone beacons. Based on the sample code, I wrote a simple app to detect Eddystone beacons. It does not work. On the logcat, I get the following messages; D/BluetoothAdapter: STATE_ON D/BluetoothLeScanner: could not find callback wrapper
Here is my code, can anyone tell, what am I doing wrong. Please Help.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements BeaconConsumer {
private BeaconManager beaconManager;
Identifier myBeaconNamespaceId;
Identifier myBeaconInstanceId;
Region region;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
myBeaconNamespaceId = Identifier.parse("0x334652820242ac130002");
myBeaconInstanceId = Identifier.parse("0x987654321cba");
beaconManager = BeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(this.getApplicationContext());
beaconManager.getBeaconParsers().clear();
beaconManager.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_UID_LAYOUT));
// beaconManager.setDebug(true);
region = new Region("MyRegion",
myBeaconNamespaceId, myBeaconInstanceId, null);
beaconManager.bind(this);
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
beaconManager.unbind(this);
}
@Override
public void onBeaconServiceConnect() {
beaconManager.removeAllRangeNotifiers();
beaconManager.addRangeNotifier(new RangeNotifier() {
@Override
public void didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection<Beacon> beacons, Region region) {
if (beacons.size() > 0) {
Log.i("INFORMATION", "The first beacon I see is about "+beacons.iterator().next().getDistance()+" meters away.");
}
}
});
try {
beaconManager.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(new Region("MyRegion", myBeaconNamespaceId, myBeaconInstanceId, null));
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage() ,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
private void logToDisplay(final String line) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
EditText editText = (EditText)MainActivity.this.findViewById(R.id.rangingText);
editText.append(line+"\n");
}
});
}
}
Make sure you have obtained location permission from the user by dynamically requesting it:

If that does not work I have a number of other troubleshooting steps here:
