Ble scanning callback only get called several times then stopped - android

I have 2 phones with Android 5.0.2, they both installed the latest Radius Beacon's App: Locate Beacon, meanwhile, I turned on 2 IBeacon sender, and can see the RSSI keep changing in both phone with the App.
But when I tried to write some sample code to simulate above situation, I found the ble scan callback always stop get called after called 2 or 3 times, I initially suspect the 'Locate Beacon' may use different way, so I tried with 2 kinds of API, one is for old 4.4, and another is the new way introduced in android 5, but both the same behavior(but all running on android 5).
the 4.4 one:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
private static final String LOG_TAG = "BleCollector";
private TextView calledTimesTextView = null;
private int calledTimes = 0;
// Device scan callback.
private BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback mLeScanCallback = new BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback() {
#Override
public void onLeScan(final BluetoothDevice device, int rssi,
byte[] scanRecord) {
calledTimes++;
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
calledTimesTextView.setText(Integer.toString(calledTimes));
}
});
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "in onScanResult, " + " is coming...");
}
};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
calledTimesTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.CalledTimes);
mBluetoothAdapter = ((BluetoothManager) getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE))
.getAdapter();
mBluetoothAdapter.startLeScan(mLeScanCallback);
}
#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
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}}
And the 5.0.2:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = null;
private BluetoothLeScanner mLescanner;
private ScanCallback mLeScanCallback;
private static final String LOG_TAG = "BleFingerprintCollector";
private TextView calledTimesTextView = null;
private int calledTimes = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
calledTimesTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.CalledTimes);
this.mBluetoothAdapter = ((BluetoothManager) getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE))
.getAdapter();
this.mLescanner = this.mBluetoothAdapter.getBluetoothLeScanner();
ScanSettings bleScanSettings = new ScanSettings.Builder().setScanMode(
ScanSettings.SCAN_MODE_LOW_LATENCY).build();
this.mLeScanCallback = new ScanCallback() {
#Override
public void onScanResult(int callbackType, ScanResult result) {
calledTimes++;
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
calledTimesTextView.setText(Integer
.toString(calledTimes));
}
});
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "in onScanResult, " + " is coming...");
}
#Override
public void onBatchScanResults(List<ScanResult> results) {
}
#Override
public void onScanFailed(int errorCode) {
}
};
this.mLescanner.startScan(null, bleScanSettings, this.mLeScanCallback);
}
#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
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}}
They are very simple and just show a counter in UI, proved finally always stopped at 2 or 3.
I've played this ble advertising receiving before on a SamSung note 2 with android 4.4 device, it works perfectly, the callback get called every second.
then anyone can help? why Radius' Locate Beacon works well here?

Different Android devices behave differently when scanning for connectable BLE advertisements. On some devices (e.g. the old Nexus 4), the scanning APIs only get one callback per scan for transmitters sending a connectable advertisement, whereas they get a scan callback for every advertisement for non-connectable advertisements. Newer devices (e.g. the Nexus 5 and most built after 2015) provide a scan callback every single advertisement regardless of whether it is connectable.
The Locate app you mention uses the open source Android Beacon Library to detect beacons. It is built on top of the same scanning APIs you show in your question, but it gets around this problem by defining a scan period (1.1 seconds by default in the foreground) and stopping and restarting a scan at this interval. Stopping and restarting the scan causes Android to send a new callback.
A few other notes here:
This issue of getting multiple scan callbacks for connectable devices applies to both the 4.x and 5.x scanning APIs.
It is unclear whether the difference in delivering scan callbacks for connectable advertisements on different devices is due to Android firmware differences or bluetooth hardware chipset differences.
There doesn't seem to be a way to detect if a device requires a scan restart to get additional callbacks for connectable advertisements, so if you are targeting a wide variety of devices, you need to plan to stop and restart scanning.
Using Android's raw scanning APIs is a great way to understand how BLE beacons work. But there are lots of complexities with working with BLE beacons (this is just one example) which is why using a SDK like the Android Beacon Library is a good choice to keep you from pulling your hair out.
Full disclosure: I am the author of the Locate app in the lead developer on the Android Beacon Library open source project.

David - Are you sure that scan callback gets called for every non-connectable advertisement. I have a Xiaomi Redmi 3 and another Nexus 5 phone running Android 6.0. I have a BLE sensor that at every 1 minute interval sends the data. These phones appearing as central BLE device should receive and process the data from the sensor. I can see from an Over the Air (OTA) BLE capture device that it the sensor is sending data every 1 minute. However both phones seems to process data for few minutes at 1 minute interval but after that stop processing for 4 - 6 minutes and then start processing agenter code hereain.
Time interval of phone processing on looks like this
1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 8min, 9min, 10min, 11 min
So after processing 3 packets at 1 minute interval, either phone will stop processing for 4 -6 minutes.
Here is code that does the processing.

Android Bluetooth LE Scan how to check if device is out of range?

I have faced with the issue using startScan method of BluetoothLeScanner a BLE device was found, but when I turned off BLE device my phone still shows this device as turned on !!
I have tried to use:
private ScanCallback mScanCallback = new ScanCallback() {
#Override
public void onScanResult(int callbackType, ScanResult result) {
Log.i("ScanCallback", String.format("onScanResult(int callbackType[%d], ScanResult result)", callbackType));
final BluetoothDevice btDevice = result.getDevice();
if (btDevice == null){
Log.e("ScanCallback", "Could not get bluetooth device");
return;
}
final String macAddress = btDevice.getAddress();
if (callbackType == ScanSettings.CALLBACK_TYPE_MATCH_LOST) {
// NOTE: I've never got here
final BluetoothDevice outOfRangeDevice = mBtDevices.get(macAddress);
...
} else {
...
}
}
...
};
Guy, I have not found solution how to detect that BLE device is lost in other resources like (Android SDK reference, forums, stackoverflow and etc) (:
Any help will be appreciated !!
During googling and exploring the Android Documentations I have figured out how to detect if device is out of range. I would like to share my solution how I did it:
...
public void scanBLEDevices(final boolean enable) {
if(mLeScanner == null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Could not get LEScanner object");
throw new InternalError("Could not get LEScanner object");
}
if (enable) {
startLeScan();
} else {
stopLeScan(false);
}
}
private void startLeScan() {
Log.i(TAG, "startLeScan(BluetoothLeScanner mLeScanner)");
mScanning = true;
mInRangeBtDevices.clear();
if (mStartScanCallback != null) {
mHandler.removeCallbacks(mStartScanCallback);
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 21) {
mBluetoothAdapter.startLeScan(mLeScanCallback);
} else {
mLeScanner.startScan(mScanFilters, mScanSettings, mScanCallback);
}
mStopScanCallback = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
stopLeScan(true);
}
};
mHandler.postDelayed(mStopScanCallback, SCAN_PERIOD);
}
private void stopLeScan(final boolean isContinueAfterPause) {
Log.i(TAG, "stopLeScan(BluetoothLeScanner mLeScanner)");
mScanning = false;
if (mStopScanCallback != null) {
mHandler.removeCallbacks(mStopScanCallback);
}
removeOutOfRangeDevices();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 21) {
mBluetoothAdapter.stopLeScan(mLeScanCallback);
} else {
mLeScanner.stopScan(mScanCallback);
}
if (isContinueAfterPause) {
mStartScanCallback = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
startLeScan();
}
};
mHandler.postDelayed(mStartScanCallback, SCAN_PAUSE);
}
}
private void removeOutOfRangeDevices() {
final Set<String> outOfRangeDevices = new HashSet<>();
for (String btAddress : mBtDevices.keySet()) {
if (!mInRangeBtDevices.contains(btAddress)) {
outOfRangeDevices.add(btAddress);
}
}
for (String btAddress : outOfRangeDevices) {
final BluetoothDevice outOfRangeDevice = mBtDevices.get(btAddress);
mBtDevicesRSSI.remove(btAddress);
mBtDevices.remove(btAddress);
}
}
...
Explanation:
As you can see I have added on each scanning period mInRangeBtDevices collection that will keep all devices found during the current scanning.
When I stop scanning, I am also removing out of range device from previous lists that is not available anymore using one additional helper collection outOfRangeDevices
I think this example would be usefull and you will be able to integrate it in your own code
This one is looking good (JAVA):
As I understood, you need to implement startLeScan().
Find BLE devices
To find BLE devices, you use the startLeScan() method. This method takes a BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback as a parameter. You must implement this callback, because that is how scan results are returned. Because scanning is battery-intensive, you should observe the following guidelines:
As soon as you find the desired device, stop scanning.
Never scan on a loop, and set a time limit on your scan. A device that was previously available may have moved out of range, and continuing to scan drains the battery.
The following snippet shows how to start and stop a scan:
public class DeviceScanActivity extends ListActivity {
private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
private boolean mScanning;
private Handler mHandler;
// Stops scanning after 10 seconds.
private static final long SCAN_PERIOD = 10000;
...
private void scanLeDevice(final boolean enable) {
if (enable) {
// Stops scanning after a pre-defined scan period.
mHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
mScanning = false;
mBluetoothAdapter.stopLeScan(mLeScanCallback);
}
}, SCAN_PERIOD);
mScanning = true;
mBluetoothAdapter.startLeScan(mLeScanCallback);
} else {
mScanning = false;
mBluetoothAdapter.stopLeScan(mLeScanCallback);
}
...
}
...}

Android BLE LeScanCallback get when stopped

I have a dialog that scans for BLE devices for 10 seconds. When I start my scan I enable a spinner at the footer of the list. When the scan is completed I'd like to remove that spinner. I'm trying to get this to work with the deprecated mBluetoothAdapter.stopLeScan(callback) function instead of the new startScan/stopScan functions as if the device isn't running version 21 or higher, you have to fallback to this method.
stopLeScan requires the same callback as startLeScan but I dont think I see the callback being made. I was hoping that it was a simple check to see if the BluetoohDevice was null, then the callback was made because the scan was stopped, but this didn't work.
With the old version of the SDK, how do you get when the scan has been stopped (either due to the proper device being found or the scan time completed)? I could pass another handler to the my scanLeDevice function, but that just seems silly as I'm already passing a callback.
Bluetooth scanner
public class BleDevice {
private final static String TAG = BleDevice.class.getSimpleName();
// Stops scanning after 10 seconds.
private static final long SCAN_PERIOD = 10000;
private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
private boolean mScanning;
private Handler mHandler;
public BleDevice() {
mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
mHandler = new Handler();
}
public void scanLeDevice(final boolean enable, final BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback callback) {
if (enable == true && mScanning == false) {
// Stops scanning after a pre-defined scan period.
mHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
// Turn off scanning
scanLeDevice(false, callback);
}
}, SCAN_PERIOD);
mScanning = true;
mBluetoothAdapter.startLeScan(callback);
Log.d(TAG, "Starting Bluetooth LE scan");
} else if(enable == false && mScanning == true) {
mScanning = false;
mBluetoothAdapter.stopLeScan(callback);
Log.d(TAG, "Stopped Bluetooth LE scan");
}
}
}
Callback in Dialog Box:
private BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback mLeScanCallback = new BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback() {
#Override
public void onLeScan(final BluetoothDevice device, int rssi, byte[] scanRecord) {
Log.d(TAG, device.getAddress() + " " + device.getName() + "");
if(device == null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Device is null? stop?");
} else {
btAdapter.add(device);
}
}
};
In mBluetoothAdapter.stopLeScan(callback); the callback is just used to identify which scan is to be stopped and it's not supposed to trigger any method in the callback. It's a synchronous operation.
And the BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback class doesn't even have any methods beyond the onLeScan() which just receives the results.
So, you can define your own method to be triggered when the scan is stopped by you:
...
} else if(enable == false && mScanning == true) {
mScanning = false;
mBluetoothAdapter.stopLeScan(callback);
Log.d(TAG, "Stopped Bluetooth LE scan");
onScanStopped(); // <--- Remove the spinner here.
}
I'm not aware of any automatic timeout for startLeScan(), so as far as I know it should only stop by calling stopLeScan(). And onLeScan() being triggered doesn't stop the scan either.

Android BluetoothGatt becomes null on activity change

I am developing an android application which requires me to send data to a Bluetooth Low Energy device.After the connection event is successful and after I receive a call back message I want to change the activity and display new GUI where on switch click I want to send data to connected device. The problem is after the activity has changed my BluetoothGatt becomes null and BluetoothGattCharacteristic also becomes null and i am not able to send the data. how can I solve this issue? Below is my code main class which onResume calls the connection activity and connects to first available device and after connection is successful it receives callback message and changes the activity.
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements BluetoothLeUart.Callback {
public TextView messages;
private BluetoothLeUart uart;
public void writeLine(final CharSequence text) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
messages.append(text);
messages.append("\n");
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
messages = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.messages);
// Initialize UART.
uart = new BluetoothLeUart(getApplicationContext());
messages.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
}
#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 onResume() {
super.onResume();
writeLine("Scanning for devices ...");
uart.registerCallback(this);
uart.connectFirstAvailable();
}
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
uart.unregisterCallback(this);
uart.disconnect();
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
// UART Callback event handlers.
// UART Callback event handlers.
#Override
public void onConnected(BluetoothLeUart uart) {
// Called when UART device is connected and ready to send/receive data.
//messages.append("connected2");
writeLine("Connected!");
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,SwitchClass.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}

You are creating a service from this activity and you are destroying it onStop
so your service is now been disconnected , so automatically you cant get bluetoothgatt and adapter for it
I suggest you to have child fragment inside you activity so your service will stay alive and you can have as many fragment you want to display the thing !!
Hopes this will help you !!
you can visit https://github.com/captain-miao/bleYan, It's a simple BLE library and example.
I also got exactly the same error like yours. In my case I comment out or deleted the following line under onServiceDiscover method. It works suddenly.It may not be the answer, Hope it will give you some clue to solve.
disManuf = gatt.getService(DIS_UUID).getCharacteristic(DIS_MANUF_UUID);
disModel = gatt.getService(DIS_UUID).getCharacteristic(DIS_MODEL_UUID);
disHWRev = gatt.getService(DIS_UUID).getCharacteristic(DIS_HWREV_UUID);
disSWRev = gatt.getService(DIS_UUID).getCharacteristic(DIS_SWREV_UUID);
readQueue.offer(disManuf);
readQueue.offer(disModel);
readQueue.offer(disHWRev);
readQueue.offer(disSWRev);
You must set to synchronized your BluetoothGatt Object like
public void setBluetoothGatt(BluetoothGatt gatt) {
synchronized (this) {
this.bluetoothGatt = gatt;
}
}
because BluetoothGatt throw DeadObject Exception when you change the Activity

how to deal with datastreams in android

I want to analysis the heart rate of a heart rate monitor. For that I want to save the last used device and compare it to the found devices. Because it takes a while to find devices, mDevice remains null. What do I have to do to update mDevice properly?
private ArrayList<BluetoothDevice> mDeviceList;
private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
private boolean mScanning;
private Handler mHandler;
private BluetoothDevice mDevice;
private static final int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 1;
// Stops scanning after 10 seconds.
private static final long SCAN_PERIOD = 10000;
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
// Ensures Bluetooth is enabled on the device. If Bluetooth is not currently enabled,
// fire an intent to display a dialog asking the user to grant permission to enable it.
if (!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);
}
// Initializes list view adapter.
mDeviceList = new ArrayList<BluetoothDevice>();
scanLeDevice(true);
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
final String adress = prefs.getString(getString(R.string.device_address), "");
for(BluetoothDevice b : mDeviceList){
if(b.getAddress().equals(adress)){
mDevice = b;
}
}
if(mDevice != null)
Log.e(TAG, mDevice.getAddress());
}
taken from the google manual:
private void scanLeDevice(final boolean enable) {
if (enable) {
// Stops scanning after a pre-defined scan period.
mHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
mScanning = false;
mBluetoothAdapter.stopLeScan(mLeScanCallback);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
}, SCAN_PERIOD);
mScanning = true;
mBluetoothAdapter.startLeScan(mLeScanCallback);
} else {
mScanning = false;
mBluetoothAdapter.stopLeScan(mLeScanCallback);
}
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
// Device scan callback.
private BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback mLeScanCallback =
new BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback() {
#Override
public void onLeScan(final BluetoothDevice device, int rssi, byte[] scanRecord) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if(!mDeviceList.contains(device)){
mDeviceList.add(device);
}
}
});
}
};
I hope these are enough information. If something is missing, feel free to ask
The scan is a background activity your trying to look at the results straight after you start it rather than waiting for it to finish. You may want to put your checking code into the onLeScan call-back directly and stopping the scan as soon as you see the device you want.
You could also try not doing the scan all together if you already have the details for the device just try going straight to connect. The details of if you need to scan before you connect are not at all clear from the documentation so you need to be prepared to experiment a bit as it's still all far too flaky.
Just move your code where you try to find the last device (everything in onStart() after SharedPreferences prefs...) to after you have already found devices, for example at the end of your runnable (after invalidateOptionsMenu();)

NoClassDefFoundError during class load for BLE scanning callback

I am keep on getting the NoClassDefFoundError when my class is loaded.
The code is taken from BluetoothLeGatt project -
http://developer.android.com/samples/BluetoothLeGatt/project.html
My code:
// Device scan callback.
private BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback mLeScanCallback =
new BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback() { //java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError...
#Override
public void onLeScan(final BluetoothDevice device,
final int rssi, final byte[] scanRecord) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
String msg= device.getAddress();
Log.d(TAG,msg);
addItems(msg);
}
});
}
};
Someone suggested that the error is because my device doesn't support BLE but I want to get rid of this error for any device. So if it doesn't support BLE feature then simply skip this error else continue with the call to this BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback.
NOTE:
See this my previous SO post for more clarification.
Putting the BLE feature check as the first line onCreate() doesn't stop the crash --
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (!bleCheck()) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.ble_not_supported,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
finish();
}
//Rest of the code
//Call to BLE Scan on button click that causes error..
}
private boolean bleCheck() {
boolean result = false;
if (getPackageManager().
hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_BLUETOOTH_LE)){
result = true;
}
return result;
}
As BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback was Added in API level 18 ; Source, this code would need a API level check also. Here's how i have gone about this, not declared the callback as private but under the condition:
boolean apiJBorAbove = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2 ? true
: false;
boolean isBleAvailable = getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(
PackageManager.FEATURE_BLUETOOTH_LE) ? true : false;
// Use this check to determine whether BLE is supported on the device.
if (isBleAvailable && apiJBorAbove) {
// Initializes a Bluetooth adapter.
// For API level 18 and above, get a reference to
// BluetoothAdapter through BluetoothManager.
final BluetoothManager bluetoothManager = (BluetoothManager) getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);
mBluetoothAdapter = bluetoothManager.getAdapter();
// Ensures Bluetooth is available on the device and it is enabled.
// If not, displays a dialog requesting user permission to enable
// Bluetooth.
if (mBluetoothAdapter == null || !mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
startActivity(new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE));
}
BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback mLeScanCallback =
new BluetoothAdapter.LeScanCallback() {
#Override
public void onLeScan(final BluetoothDevice device,
final int rssi, final byte[] scanRecord) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
String msg= device.getAddress();
// Log.d(TAG,msg);
// addItems(msg);
}
});
}
};
}
The NoClassDefFoundError is due to the API , not on the basis of PackageManager.FEATURE_BLUETOOTH_LE.
