iBeacon scanner android

Android library to scan for iBeacons.

Download the library

You can download the library via Gradle from the jCenter repository:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

By adding the dependency in your module level build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'mobi.inthepocket.android:ibeaconscanner:1.2.2'
}

Setup

It depends if you want to scan for beacons in a service or in your app how to integrate the library:

Service

public class MyService extends Service implements IBeaconScanner.Callback
{
    @Override
    public void onCreate()
    {
        super.OnCreate();

        // initialize
        IBeaconScanner.initialize(IBeaconScanner.newInitializer(this).build());
        IBeaconScanner.getInstance().setCallback(this);
    }
}

Application

If you want to scan for beacons in an activity, first initialize the library in your application class:

public class MyApplication extends Application
{
    public void onCreate()
    {
        super.onCreate();

        // initialize
        IBeaconScanner.initialize(IBeaconScanner.newInitializer(this).build());
    }
}

Get notified of iBeacon enters and exits

Set Callback

You need to set your Callback in your Activity, Fragment or Service, by implementing this interface:

public interface Callback
{
    void didEnterBeacon(Beacon beacon);

    void didExitBeacon(Beacon beacon);

    void monitoringDidFail(Error error);
}

IBeaconScanner.getInstance().setCallback(this);

Create a Beacon object

final Beacon beacon = Beacon.newBuilder()
    .setUUID("84be19d4-797d-11e5-8bcf-feff819cdc9f")
    .setMajor(1)
    .setMinor(2)
    .build();

Pass beacons you want to monitor

Pass one or more beacons to the library to start getting enter or exit notifies:

IBeaconScanner.getInstance().startMonitoring(beacon);
