It is the first time I work with iBeacon. So can you tell me how to detect it(give me some code example). Thanks very much. It is very important to me.
The open source Android iBeacon Library will allow you to do this.
Here is a basic code sample:
public class MonitoringActivity extends Activity implements IBeaconConsumer {
protected static final String TAG = "RangingActivity";
private IBeaconManager iBeaconManager = IBeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(this);
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_ranging);
iBeaconManager.bind(this);
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
iBeaconManager.unBind(this);
}
@Override
public void onIBeaconServiceConnect() {
iBeaconManager.setMonitorNotifier(new MonitorNotifier() {
@Override
public void didEnterRegion(Region region) {
Log.i(TAG, "I just saw an iBeacon for the firt time!");
}
@Override
public void didExitRegion(Region region) {
Log.i(TAG, "I no longer see an iBeacon");
}
@Override
public void didDetermineStateForRegion(int state, Region region) {
Log.i(TAG, "I have just switched from seeing/not seeing iBeacons: "+state);
}
});
try {
iBeaconManager.startMonitoringBeaconsInRegion(new Region("myMonitoringUniqueId", null, null, null));
} catch (RemoteException e) { }
}
}
