I am trying to play with BLE transmission on my device.
Here is the code I use and the output:
// check BLE support
Log.i(TAG, "BLE supported: " + getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_BLUETOOTH_LE)); // true
// check BLE transmission support
final BluetoothManager bluetoothManager =
(BluetoothManager) getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = bluetoothManager.getAdapter();
Log.i(TAG, "isMultipleAdvertisementSupported: " + mBluetoothAdapter.isMultipleAdvertisementSupported()); // false
Log.i(TAG, "isOffloadedFilteringSupported: " + mBluetoothAdapter.isOffloadedFilteringSupported()); // false
Log.i(TAG, "isOffloadedScanBatchingSupported: " + mBluetoothAdapter.isOffloadedScanBatchingSupported()); // false
BluetoothLeAdvertiser mBluetoothLeAdvertiser = mBluetoothAdapter.getBluetoothLeAdvertiser();
Log.i(TAG, mBluetoothLeAdvertiser.toString()); //android.bluetooth.le.BluetoothLeAdvertiser@1c51f789
// check BLE transmission support
// android-beacon-library, https://github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library
int result = BeaconTransmitter.checkTransmissionSupported(getApplicationContext());
Log.i(TAG, "ABL checkTransmissionSupported: " + result); // 0
I can not understand why mBluetoothLeAdvertiser is not null, since mBluetoothLeAdvertiser verifies that it is not false:
package android.bluetooth;
// ...
public BluetoothLeAdvertiser getBluetoothLeAdvertiser() {
if (getState() != STATE_ON) {
return null;
}
if (!isMultipleAdvertisementSupported()) {
return null;
}
synchronized(mLock) {
if (sBluetoothLeAdvertiser == null) {
sBluetoothLeAdvertiser = new BluetoothLeAdvertiser(mManagerService);
}
}
return sBluetoothLeAdvertiser;
}
// ...
public boolean isMultipleAdvertisementSupported() {
if (getState() != STATE_ON) return false;
try {
return mService.isMultiAdvertisementSupported();
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "failed to get isMultipleAdvertisementSupported, error: ", e);
}
return false;
}
