Hi,
I try to play with beacons, but I have a problem with create simple app.
I get the library from:
https://github.com/Estimote/Android-SDK
and I added code which is shown in Usage and demos point on this github site.
My activity looks like this
import com.estimote.sdk.Beacon;
import com.estimote.sdk.BeaconManager;
import com.estimote.sdk.Region;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.RemoteException;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
BeaconManager beaconManager;
private static final String ESTIMOTE_PROXIMITY_UUID = "B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D";
private static final Region ALL_ESTIMOTE_BEACONS = new Region(ESTIMOTE_PROXIMITY_UUID, null, null);
final String TAG = "MainActivity";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.e(TAG, "onCreate");
beaconManager = new BeaconManager(getApplicationContext());
if(beaconManager.isBluetoothEnabled())
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Bl włączone", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Bl wyłączone", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
beaconManager.setRangingListener(new BeaconManager.RangingListener() {
@Override public void onBeaconsDiscovered(Region region, List<Beacon> beacons) {
Log.d(TAG, "Ranged beacons: " + beacons);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Ranged beacons: " + beacons, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onStart();
Log.e(TAG, "onStart");
beaconManager.connect(new BeaconManager.ServiceReadyCallback() {
@Override public void onServiceReady() {
try {
beaconManager.startRanging(ALL_ESTIMOTE_BEACONS);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "try start ranging", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Cannot start ranging", e);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cannot start ranging", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onStop();
// Should be invoked in #onStop.
try {
beaconManager.stopRanging(ALL_ESTIMOTE_BEACONS);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Cannot stop but it does not matter now", e);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cannot stop but it does not matter now", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onDestroy();
// When no longer needed. Should be invoked in #onDestroy.
beaconManager.disconnect();
}
}
and manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.beacon"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<!-- Declaration that this app is usable on phones with Bluetooth Low Energy. -->

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
and when I'm running app I get this line in logcat
02-22 05:27:08.711: A/BeaconManager(7227): Could not bind service
For me it means like it's problem with creating BeaconManager, but have no idea how to fix it. There is no problem with device cause I see all beacons when I scanned it by iBeacon Locate app. I would be grateful for any suggestion
