Hi, are we supposed to refer to this link ?

https://estimote.github.io/Android-SDK/JavaDocs/com/estimote/sdk/Utils.html

Is there any documentation that is friendly to beginners ?

There’s an introductory Android tutorial on:

http://developer.estimote.com/android/tutorial/part-1-setting-up/

Is that more or less what you’re looking for? (:

Hi,

note that with the 1.0.0 version package names have changed and now you should use com.estimote.coresdk.observation.region.RegionUtils.

The value of RegionUtils.computeAccuracy is always below 1 meter even I test with larger distance between smartphone and beacon.
I am using compile 'com.estimote:sdk:1.4.1’
My distance log and corresponding beacon identifier is:
