Changelog

0.5 (April 17, 2015)

  • From now Estimote SDK for Android is distributed as AAR archive rather than jar. That means that you do not need to change your AndroidManifest.xml. SDK's AndroidManifest.xml will be merged with your application's AndroidManifest.xml. See installation guide how to add library to your project.
  • Welcome back! We have added support for Estimote Cloud. You can access it via EstimoteCloud class. Remember first to provide your App ID & App Token from App section of Estimote Cloud via EstimoteSDK#initialize method.
  • From now all connections to beacons needs to be authorized. If a beacon is not registered to your account, you will not be able to connect to it.
  • Estimote SDK's AndroidManifest.xml uses BLUETOOTH, BLUETOOTH_ADMIN and INTERNET permissions.
  • Yes, there is single point of initialisation of the SDK.
//  App ID & App Token can be taken from App section of Estimote Cloud.
EstimoteSDK.initialize(applicationContext, appId, appToken);
// Optional, debug logging.
EstimoteSDK.enableDebugLogging(true);

  • All exceptions within the SDK has been unified and exposed in com.estimote.sdk.exception package.

  • That means some breaking changes:

    • L class is no longer available, in order to turn on debug logging use EstimoteSDK class.
    • BeaconConnection.ConnectionCallback & BeaconConnection.WriteCallback methods have been changed to contain apropriate exception when happens.

0.4.3 (November 12, 2014):

0.4.2 (June 24, 2014):

  • Fixes Estimote#55: it is safe to use library from remote process

0.4.1 (March 18, 2014)

  • CAN BREAK BUILD: MonitoringListener returns list of beacons the triggered enter region event (Estimote#18)
  • Better messaging when BeaconManager cannot start service to scan beacons (Estimote#25)
  • Fixed bug in SDK when other beacons are around (Estimote#27)

0.4 (February 17, 2014)

  • Introducing ability to change beacon's UUID, major, minor, broadcasting power, advertising interval (see BeaconConnection class).
  • Dropping Guava dependency.

0.3.1 (February 11, 2014)

  • Fixes bug when simulated beacons were not seen even when using Estimote's proximity UUID.

0.3 (February 11, 2014)

  • Background monitoring is more robust and using AlarmService to invoke scanning.
  • Default values for background monitoring were changed. Scanning is performed for 5 seconds and then service sleeps for 25 seconds. Those values can be changed with BeaconManager#setBackgroundScanPeriod.
  • Beacons reported in RangingListener#onBeaconsDiscovered are sorted by accuracy (estimated distance between device and beacon).
  • Bug fixes.

0.2 (January 7, 2014)

  • IMPORTANT: package changes BeaconService is now in com.estimote.sdk.service service. You need to update your AndroidManifest.xml service definition to com.estimote.sdk.service.BeaconService.
  • Support for monitoring regions in BeaconManager.
  • Region class: it is mandatory to provide region id in its constructor. This matches CLRegion/ESTBeaconRegion from iOS.
  • Beacon, Region classes now follow Java bean conventions (that is getXXX for accessing properties).
  • Debug logging is disabled by default. You can enable it via com.estimote.sdk.utils.L#enableDebugLogging(boolean).

0.1 (December 9, 2013)

  • Initial version.
