Background: I am developing an Android app that monitors for specific beacons in the background, and upon entry detection, will perform custom coding. I am currently exploring this using Android Beacon Library, and is able to detect the beacon responsively most of the time when the screen is On (within seconds). However, when the screen is off, the responsiveness drops and may take minutes to half and hour to detect. I am wondering if there are ways to improve responsiveness as my usage scenario requires a responsive background detection without having to turn on the phone (looking at a

I have developed Android app to detect the beacon if the customer is near to 1 mt distance . I am using Android Beacon Library to develop the application.When we are in foreground the I get the notification but as soon as the application goes into background .. notification stooped working .

I have some questions on the use of Bluetooth Medic, based on the following observations. Because Bluetooth stops on one of my devices I have been looking at the BluetoothMedic to see whether it can help. I've looked at the debug messages and the source code. I get somewhat different results depending on whether I use enablePeriodicTests() or individually run runScanTest() and runTransmitterTest(). With enablePeriodicTests(), BluetoothTestJob.onStartJob() runs scan and transmitter tests every 15 minutes, apparently OK. If my beacon is transmitting, I get "Scan test succeeded" then "scan test

In an answer to another question , I saw that "You can also transmit as a beacon on rooted Android 4.4.3 devices, but it requires an app installed with system privileges." How can this be done? Yes, this is possible on 4.4.3, but the critical API methods startAdvertising() , stopAdvertising() and getAdvScanData() (which allows you to read and write the raw information sent out in the advertisement) are blocked from use unless an app has android.permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED . This is a system-level permission, so the only way to get this is for your custom app is to root your phone, and
