Getting a crash from Android SDK

BLE Beacons

Hi,
I am using estimode com.estimote:proximity-sdk:1.0.3 and getting a crash from the sdk.
This is the stack trace:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to create bluetooth LE scanner instance

Please let me know how to handle this.

I think similar problem was covered here: https://github.com/Estimote/Android-Proximity-SDK/issues/43
It happens when you try to start scanning when Bluetooth is off.
I would also be a good idea to update Proximity SDK from 1.0.3 to 1.0.5 which is the latest version available when writing this post.

@pober Thanks for that. I will update the SDK but they haven’t mentioned in the release notes on this issue.
Plus I was wondering if there is any way from the client app to avoid doing it.
We are scanning only when the Bluetooth is turned on.
