Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This is a demo application to show the use of the Bluetooth LE library. I allows you to scan and obtain information about Low Energy Bluetooth Devices in your vicinity. The library allows for easy access to a Bluetooth LE device's Advertisement Records. It also offers: * A simple running average RSSI reading keeping. * For iBeacons: Manufacturer data record parser. * For iBeacons: Distance indicators (Near, Far, Immediate, Unknown). * For iBeacons: A decently inaccurate (due to real world issues) distance approximation. * All the new object types are Parcelable. This will only work on Android 4.3+ (API Level 18+). Because discoverable devices might reveal information about the user's location, location access is required on later Android versions.
